Upgraded to Evolution 3.12.2 using 'apt-get upgrade' on debian jessie, problem still exists. Using following following script to start evolution as a workaround:
------------ export http_proxy=http://www.example.com:3128 evolution & ------------ Bill West -- Cell: 877-567-7451 Skype: bill.west9 -----Original Message----- From: Bill West <[email protected]> Reply-to: [email protected], [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Bug#749617: evolution-ews: does not retrive or send mail, claims to be offline - additional information Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:27:17 -0400 The workaround in upstream bug 708175 which involves setting http_proxy environment variable and starting Evolution from the command line resolves this problem (in an inconvenient way). Running in Xfce session, but I observed the original problem in both Gnome and Gnome Classic sessions also. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708175 On Jessie box, did following on command line, and evolution connected to Exchange server. The proxy url is a bogus one (from bug report 708175 linked above). Don't know the significance of the warning messages, but thought you might like to see them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bill@thrasher:~$ export http_proxy=http://abc.xyz.com:3128 bill@thrasher:~$ printenv ... other env vars ... http_proxy=http://abc.xyz.com:3128 bill@thrasher:~$ evolution (evolution:29744): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files Entity: line 11: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: META line 0 and HEAD </HEAD><BODY><TABLE width=500 border=0 cellspacing=10><TR><TD> ^ (evolution:29744): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_unref: assertion 'closure->ref_count > 0' failed (evolution:29744): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_unref: assertion 'closure->ref_count > 0' failed (evolution:29744): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_unref: assertion 'closure->ref_count > 0' failed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill West -- Cell: 877-567-7451 Skype: bill.west9 _______________________________________________ Pkg-evolution-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-evolution-maintainers
