Use the ones that you normally use. To avoid the problems of open relays, your email provider may only allow SMTP from their own users, i.e. users on their own network, so as you move around you generally have to configure the SMTP server according to where you are (or just use a webmail service). Note that the IMAP/POP server doesn't change. Other providers do allow SMTP from anywhere, but only with an authenticated session. You need to ask them how to do this and change your Evo account info accordingly. In any case, you make these changes in Preferences->->Edit->Sending Mail. I don't know what "the name of the connection" means here, but what you need is the DNS name of the local SMTP server.

[Evolution] Bug
Hi, I represent a company with 600+ end users. We are actively seeking replacements for many Microsoft technologies such as Outlook/Exchange and MS Office. We are currently testing OpenOffice.org and Evolution with select users and the IT Staff. The biggest complaint we see with Evolution after one month of use is the apparent inability of Evolution to properly handle HTML-based e-mail with Internet content. For instance, when a user receives an HTML message with graphics and other content fetched from Internet locations, the reading pane (lower right pane) freezes. At this point, you can't use the reading pane anymore and Evolution can't be closed out. The only option to return Evolution to normal functionality is to log off the user. We've seen this behavior on Ubuntu 7.10 using Evolution as an Exchange client. This is meant as constructive feedback because we want your technology to succeed.

I see that opensuse have a applied quite a few patches on top of the evolution 2.12 source. Also, I've noticed some recent opensuse updates in some of the pre-requisists ( such as libsoup ). Net result seems to be that its pretty stable for me. Suggest its worth checking if there are similar patches applied to the Ubuntu packages.

I restart 10-15 times a day. First I thought it might be a problem with the exchange option of "synchronize for offline usage" I won't try to get the exact wording because that is what caused evolution to hang for 5 minutes during the last reply. Why did I think this? because most of the time the status bar would get a "Retrieving message 1234123421..." and a "Downloading for offline usage..." the text may be off some on these I apologize if that is the case. So, I turned this off and well it was better for a couple of hours and then it was back to the same old problems no mail showing up. can't change to a different folder. Although I do get a new error dialog more often, "Can't refresh folder," and a few "Could not contact server", "lost contact with backend exchange process", but these do not all of these require restarts. Filters on exchange 2.12.0 seem to have stopped working whereas they worked on 2.8, but that was much worse about staying connected and getting new mail. Then I submit questions and get no answers, but, I have found out that if I submit a slightly wrong answer for somebody I do generate replies, and I appreciate Patrick correcting my mistakes, I will not make the same ones again. BTW, entourage the MS mail client for Macintosh can sit here next to my Linux box and run all day, reminders pop up, mail comes in, no problems, so I am pretty sure that it is not a network issue. So, sorry to take over your original string with my complaints too, but I do have a vested interest in getting tools that will enable an enterprise to use a Linux desktop and not have these sorts of issues. -- Todd Ness ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Handy tip:
"--force-shutdown" just spawns ${libexec}/evolution/2.12/killev.
Calling killev directly doesn't require a display.

Evolution has frozen / has crashed, what shall I do?
You can kill Evolution by running the command evolution --force-shutdown (you
need an X display to do this). If possible, also submit a bug report (see

That's useful to know.
In earlier incarnations of Evo, the recommendation was to run "killev",
since this was also installed as a command. Why was this changed?

I posted one a while back about periodic freezing of the Evo UI, which I would have expected to generate some reaction, but either no-one else is seeing this, or I wasn't sufficiently clear, or there isn't enough data for a meaningful answer. In any case it's still happening, literally while I type this. What you might try doing is setting "export CAMEL_DEBUG=all" and running Evo from the command line. That will generate many many debug messages which might help to track down the problem. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list -- Rob Cambra, MCSE, CCA Amesbury Group IT Manager Sealing Solutions Division Extruded Products Division Tel: 704.978.2888 Cell: 704.929.0966 Fax: 703.991.0043 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scientia est potestas *** Before printing this e-mail, think if it's necessary.

Re: [Evolution] Bug
You are right again. my personal wrapper was getting executed when I was running and it of course was not forwarding the command line args to the /usr/bin/evolution, so at any rate the next 3 times the UI hung I was just restarting the UI and not the background processes which made it fail even more frequently and eventually would not start at all. I have added the DEBUG option as well, and maybe a developer might ask for something to figure out this problem. it is sad to think that MS might make a better exchange mail tool with the release of the full feature browser client for FireFox in exchange 2007. > AFAIK "--force-shutdown" does not restart Evo automatically.

I'm not sure this is really the problem. By default Evo doesn't fetch any images or content, so unless your users have enabled that to happen by default (why?!?!) it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you're seeing this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435620 I still run into this in Evo 2.12; it would be nice if someone fixed it. There should be plenty of info in the bug and attached emails to allow it to be reproduced and fixed. The problem might be in gtkhtml though, not Evo per se. Note that in order to be this bug, the CPU must be active while Evo tries to display the message. If the CPU is idle it's something else (you didn't mention either way). Other than that and a few other small glitches Evo 2.12 has been easy to upgrade to and works better than previous releases. I do get occasional hangs for no apparent reason (no CPU overload), but they don't last that long. -- --- Paul D.
