I've had to give up on DavMail. It seemed OK at the start, but there are far too many problems.
I can't get the IMAP interface through DavMail working properly at all. I'm constantly getting errors from DavMail with things like "B00004 BAD unable to handle request: Unable to update message properties", and none of my messages are marked "Read". Further, there's no "Deleted Items" folder visible at all when I use IMAP through DavMail. There may be other things: I can't really use this enough to find them all. If I use IMAP directly I run into the dichotomy related to a "real" Deleted folder vs. Evo's virtual one, that has been hashed over for years in the appropriate bugzilla bugs so I don't want to get into it here, but suffice to say that for my work account I need behavior like the standard Exchange, where I can retrieve my deleted email, and I need to access my Exchange account from multiple systems so I need some way to "delete" them that's recognized by the server so my other systems can see it too. Also, I tried to do something like at the end of the day go to the Evo trash folder, C-a to select all, then copy them to the Deleted Items folder... it says it copied them all, and I now see two copies in the virtual Trash folder as expected... but they never show up in the Delete Items folder at all. Don't know where they went. For Calendaring I have the problem I posted about before: I do see all my meetings which is great, and I'm getting alarms about them which is also great. But, the default account for creating new meetings is my local account not my Exchange account and the only way I can see my own free/busy schedule is by adding my Exchange account as a recipient. Even if I do that, when I try to "send" the meeting invite it gives me errors saying I haven't specified any To: addresses. And, even more egregious, it doesn't appear to handle meeting invites with attachments: if I try to open the meeting that has an attachment it complains "Could not load the attachment; Operation not supported". Most of my meetings come with some kind of attachment of a document to review or something: without this the calendar is not usable. Also I cannot CREATE a meeting with an attachment; if I add an attachment and try to "Save" Evo gives me an error: "Cannot modify calendar object". I'm sure there are other things but, as with the Evo MAPI backend, the thing is just not stable and reliable enough for me to use day-to-day, which means I can't really test it fully. Back to lookOut! inside Crossover for me.... sigh. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
