[Evolution] open suse packages for 2.12.1 ?

2007-10-23 Thread Peter Lord
Hi All,

Are there any opensuse packages available for evolution 2.12.1 or
later ?

Currently I'm building my own based on the opensuse 2.12.0 source
packages - it would be nice to upgrade to the current version.

Thanks,

Pete

Please, remember to notify release-team and everybody else on
desktop-devel about the new introduced external dependency for
evolution-data-server and evolution.

Thanks you.

Does this mean that evo + e-d-s will go GPLv3?

Hi Akhil and the list,

It is indeed exactly the same bug as described by Sébastien Bacher on
Comment #2 of this bug report.
So I will just add a comment, saying that it happens on Mandriva too.

And believe me, this a VERY important bug, when you are using Evo for
your daily job... :-(

I hope it will be fixed soon.

And by the way : if you believe it has something to do with the cards
in the addressbook.db (for example, a corrupted card), feel free, you
lovely developers, to ask me to send you my addressbook.db file, if
this can help to fixe the bug.

Frederic, I dont think we can take it as a enforced dependency right
away as libmapi depends on Samba4 which is just in aplha1 now. It might
take a while before Samba4 releases and we take that and libmapi as
external dependencies. 

Im not sure if we can make/ask those alpha versions as external
dependencies.

Anyways thanks for the information and the trigger :)

Jules, as I replied in a previous email thread, Im working with Novell
legal team to modify the license to either GPLV2 or later or
dual-license Evolution/EDS under GPLv2 and GPLv3. I dont have yet
received the final nod. But the mapi providers/plugins are developed
under GPLv3 which can be a issue now, but may not be after the license
change.

Well, even if it is a optional external dependencies, it should be
announced, moreover because of the samba 4 implied dependency and the
GPLv3 compatibility issue it brings.

There is never too much information to announce ;)

[Evolution] [evolution] Failed to read a valid greeting

Every few minutes this error pops up.  It can happen from to any one of
the four domains I get mail from.

It is becoming very frustrating.

My mail server is a SME Server.  Perhaps the problem is in my mail

Yes, I get EXACTLY the same thing from my IMAP server!  Oddly enough I
never get it from my POP3 server.

It doesn't seem to happen to me as often as it does to you; in fact I
don't think I've ever had it happen while I'm sitting and working at my
desktop.  But if I go away for a while, I invariably have one of these
announcements when I get back.

As with you, I've never actually had a problem downloading mail when I
use "Send / Receive" or automatically download mail.

Flaws started being found in MD5 over 10 years ago and came to a head in
2004 when collisions were found by Chinese researchers. A practical
attack on X.509 certificates was demonstrated by Lenstra et al. in 2005.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5

> SHA1 still persists, as far as I know.

In every practical sense yes, however see
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis_o.html

Basically, a flaw exists in SHA-1 (it's not collision-free) but
currently there's no reasonable way to exploit it. However at some point
it would be good to start moving away from SHA-1 in general
applications, given the experience of MD5.

For email however, even a weak hash function is not necessarily the end
of the world. Evo uses GPG hashes for digital signatures (you encrypt
the hash with your secret key) so an attacker would need to decrypt the
hash (easy), find a different message that produces the same hash, and
then try to pass off the false message as true. The exploits found so
far for hash functions don't do this. They consist in generating two
random bitstrings that have the same hash. This is what "the Czech guy"
did, i.e. his attack allows Alice to create two messages and claim she
sent message B to Bob when in fact she sent message A (if this ever came
before a judge, Bob would simply produce message A and show it has the
same hash as message B, meaning Alice must have generated both of them).

As the main use of signatures in email is to detect forgery by a third
party (e.g. spam), and so far no-one can produce a "reasonable" message
that collides with another given message, I think we're OK for now :-)

Yeah, sometimes it a few times per-minute.  I have a few accounts.

Actually looking again mine is _slightly_ different since it's an IMAP
account.  I get messages that say things like "unexpected response from
server: Success" and other odd things.

I'll try to keep a catalog of what's going on.

I'm using IMAPS if that makes a difference.

Yeah, I've always got the "valid greeting" error. 

I just set some of my accounts to check for new mail less frequently and
the error is gone (for the last 15 minutes) so I'll keep my fingers
crossed.  I should probably request a bug.

isn't it the server giving a message and then Evo dutifully passing that
on? i'd not like it if my IMAP server said "mailbox full" and Evo didn't
pass that on.

[Evolution] Evolution keeps forgetting password

2007-10-23 Thread Christoffer Kjølbæk
Hi

I am running evolution 2.12.0 in Ubuntu Gutsy, and it keeps forgetting
my password.

Every time evolution starts up, password dialog boxes popup for every
account I have. The password is already in the box (as dots), and just
hitting Ok makes it possible to get mail.

So the password is saved, but for some reason it can be used?


Best regards

I was getting the impression that Evolution was choking.  It is possible
that the server is in fact not "sending a valid greeting".  Then when I
reduce the frequency of mail checking the error goes away.

[Evolution] Emails disappearing in local folders

2007-10-23 Thread derek
Hi, I'm running Evolution 2.10.3 on a Fedora Core 7 laptop.  In a
misguided effort to keep things synchronized between my laptop and
desktop machines, I've been running unison file synchronizer on my
$HOME/.evolution directory.  This program makes sure the directories
contain the same files.

The problem, I think, is that my Fedora Core 4 desktop is running
Evolution 2.2.3, and I mistakenly assumed the file structures were the
same between the two versions.

Now, when I move an email from my on-line exchange mail box to a local
folder, it disappears.  I can see all of my local folders, but when I
click on many (but not all) of them, I can't see any emails.  I've tried
moving the folders from my local files to my on-line account, but that
hasn't produced any results either.

So, I'm wondering:  1) How can I fix evolution so I can use local
folders again?  Would it be sufficient to delete the seemingly corrupted
local folders?  2) is there any way to recover the lost emails in the
corrupted folders?  3) Is there a reasonable way to keep my two versions
of evolution synchronized?

Thanks,  -Derek

Use IMAP (or presumably Exchange) and if you have filters make sure only
one IMAP client is active at a time. Keeping local copies synched is
likely to be buggy, as you've discovered. Whether your mail is
recoverable or not will depend on what happened to it, but Evo can
import mbox-format files so you might be lucky (possibly after some
massaging by hand).

In version 2.12 you can in theory also backup and restore an entire Evo
configuration, but that's a fairly heavyweight operation.

Hi Pete

I guess i found the "error". I was using APOP for authentication, and
for some reason that didn't work properly. I have now switch to
DIGEST-MD5, and it seems to work now.
