[Evolution] Change local personal folders
Hello, I'm using Evolution as an Exchange Email Client. I need the users local Personal Folders to be not actually local, but to be on a server. It's a different server than the Exchange Server, it's a storage server with a huge amount of HD. I have not found any way of changing the path of the user folders, and this is an important point on my enterprise. Is it posible? If so, how? Thank you. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Evolution and Brutus-Server with Exchange 2007
Hi list, I know it´s not the list for evolution-Brutus, but perhaps I can get some help. I try for some days to connect Evolution with a Brutus-Server to an Exchange 2007 machine. I configured it as described, but I still get an error "Error while scanning folder in Exchange-Server ". Is there someone out who has made it? What I am doing wrong?

It should work and has indeed worked in my test setup but it is hard to tell what kind of problem you are running into without the logs. First you need to decide if the problems are in the server or in the client end of things. Please send me your server logs off-list and I'll take a look at them.

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.

Not really. The fee comes when you connects to an Exchange server not when you use the API. It's called the CLA (Client Access License). It is independent of how you connects to the Exchange server. You can use OWA (the "real" one or evolution-exchange), POP3, IMAP or MAPI. The CLA doesn't care and you have to pay the exact same license fee independent of which one you use. > This is of course useless for free software projects.

Brutus is independent of MS, yes, but certainly not of MAPI which it is "merely" making available for FOSS clients on almost any platform. -- jules ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

But there is so much other info locally attached to an email in evo (like flags and so on) that it can't need a total re-write to link another bit info that will trigger a dbus event to open a tomboy note.

FWIW, I would see any Location setting as a desktop-wide feature, not something whose UI should be in Evolution. Things like network settings, timezone, default printer etc. would all benefit from knowing about location changes. (MacOS 9 used to have a nice UI for this... it's gone in OSX where location only affects network settings, but there's a little app called LocationX that redresses the balance a bit.)

Re: [Evolution] Feature Suggestion - Sticky notes for email messages
I started some work for this sometime back. But since I knew that I will miss the deadlines for feature-freeze, I stopped it so early. This is highly likely to be in Evolution 2.11.X soon.

[Evolution] Imorting wizard
Hi all, As this is my first post to this list, please bear with me, if I ask a (maybe) dumb question: I need to run XP and looked for a decent mail program. Found evolution 2.6.2 to be promising, but importing my old mails does not seem to work. The wizard constantly dies and kills evolution alltogether. I try to import from eudora *.mbx files. Running with administrative privileges does not seem to change a bit. Any ideas ?

Interesting. So you basically pay for the number of users you expect to
have, independantly of how they access. Good to know.

I actually knew that. Call it the combination of 'deja vu' with memory
loss ("I've forgotten this before now"). Anyway, what do you think of
the Openchange project?

If you just want mail (i.e. not calendaring, scheduling etc.) I'd recommend Thunderbird. For importing from Eudora, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_from_Eudora_-_Thunderbird.

Re: [Evolution] Imorting wizard
I need something to use instead of the possibly upcoming outlook. Therefore I looked at evolution. I already tested with thunderbird, but the filtering mechanism appears to be quite buggy. Filtering is crucial to my job. Manually wading through hundreds of mails every day is just not possible. Therefore the mozilla project has nothing usable to offer.
