Hello, the home directory is on local. What I want is ONLY evolution personal folders to be on a server, not the whole home directory, because of enterprise policies. What I have done is mounting the server directory as a local device following the instructions of this thread on Ubuntuforums: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255872&highlight=mount+fstab+network and I have made a link as follows: ln -s /mnt/network_mounted_dir .evolution I have previously deleted the .evolution folder on the user's home.
The link seems to work because I can succesfully create folders with evolution and these are created on the server. But when I try to move any mail to those folders I always get the error on the screenshot attached. May it be a permissions problem? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Pete Biggs Sent: Tue 2/20/2007 10:32 AM To: evolution-list@gnome.org Cc: Subject: Re: [Evolution] Change local personal folders On Tue, 2007-02-20 at 09:38 +0100, Francisco MartÃnez wrote: > Hello, > I'm using Evolution as an Exchange Email Client.

Is it posible? If so, how? Is the user's home directory on a file server? If so, then the evo local directories will be as well. If evo is the only application that you want to have the local folders on a server (why?) then at the very least you need to link $HOME/.evolution to a folder on the server. But there are some issues you should be aware of: first the setup of the accounts is not held in those directories, but in gconf, so that information will still be local; second you will have to check that the locking paradigm used be evo is network aware - I don't know if it is, someone who is more knowledgeable about the code will have to tell you that.
