Thank you All I will fill bugs in the next 3 days once I recompile evolution* with debug option
my question is how can I trace for evolution-exchange since evolution will run it once I run evolution ? should I just trace evolution and submit all the trace as evolution-exchange trace ? another thing for the notification popup window that I talked about it in item 5, since there is no way to use the d-bus message , I made a small Perl script that can run as a filter and it will popup every time there is a new mail (with very good information about the received mail) , I wrote it in Perl with GTK, Do you want me guys to rewrite it in C and you will implement it with evolution as a default filter (since again no way in the current design of evolution to use the d-bus ) you can test from downloading it from http://www.altwaijiry.com/scripts/new-evolution-mail-0.0.1.tar.bz2 also you can see the popup window that I'm talking about in this snapshot screen http://www.altwaijiry.com/scripts/new-evolution-mail.png it will display the Sender name (in orange) and the message subject (green) and also 3 lines from the message (blue) and it will close it self after few seconds On 9/23/05, Sushma Rai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 2005-09-22 at 14:07 +0300, regatta wrote: > > > 1. if you open a new compose and write the emails that you want to > > send the message to them, evolution will hang for few seconds (to get > > the full name from GAL I think), this issue is there from the > > beginning and anyway it's much faster with version 2.4 but it's still > > there > > > > so my question is, why don't we make it like outlook, the user write > > the names then he click in a "check" button so evolution after that go > > to GAL and get the names > > > > First of all, autocompleting from GAL should not hang Evolution. > Hope you have filed a bug on that.
