[Evolution] storing Inbox mails from Exchange into local folder
Hello, Is there a way to store all mail (or at least all mail which have been fetched for reading) from Exchange's Inbox into a local folder?

[Evolution] Problem with evolution-exchange-storage.exe (Evolution 2.26.2)
Hello This is my first poist here. I try to use Evolution 2.26.2 (Windows XP Prof.) with Exchange System 6.5 After initial configuration I am able to watch and send messages. Unfortunately after 1-2 minutes I always get error: Assertion failed! Program: ...\evolution\2.26\evolution-exchange-storage.exe File: ath.c Line: 193 Expression: *lock == MUTEX_UNLOCKED After that system closes volution-exchange-storage.exe and access to messages is disabled. It happened on 2 computers. Has anyone any solution? Maciej Malawski ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Rewritten "Compiling Evolution from SVN" guide
Hello,
I have rewritten the Compiling from Evolution from SVN guide.
It's heavily based on the old manual, but I've tried to add more
information and to remove old / deprecated information.
Feel free to edit this and to use it like you want.
Henning Habighorst / liam
This guide is heavily based on the "Compile Evolution from SVN guide".
I wanted to port this to the new GIT interface and correct or improve some
things.
Prerequisites
sudo make install magic
Most distributions have already added the necessary steps to use sudo. It's
common to use the group "wheel" to give users the permission to use sudo.
You can check this in "/etc/sudoers". For editing, visudo is recommended - but
not necessary. Just be careful!
"%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL" - would be the necessary line to give users of the group
wheel the permission to use sudo with every command.
"usermod -a -G wheel username" for example adds the group wheel to username.
Dependencies...
Evolution < 2.29 : glib2 , gtk+ , libbonobo & libbonoboui , gtkhtml , gconf,
libglade, libgnomecanvas,
libgnome & libgnomeui, libxml , shared-mime-info, nss & nspr [for ssl]
Evolution-Data-Server <= 2.29 : additionally libsoup , gnome-keyring , sqlite ,
libical
Evolution >= 2.29 : the same as < 2.29 plus unique, except
libbonobo/libbonoboui/libgnome/libgnomeui
Every distribution has it's own packaging system.
Like this, you need to find out for yourself how to install these packages -
please be aware that in most cases you'll need to install the -dev packages!
Debugging
You'll might wonder why we start with debugging before building. Well, because
building influences debugging...
There is an simple explanation for this : Usually, you want to have a fast
software - so the distributions use the compiler to optimize the software while
building...
This is indeed something good - if you just want to run the software. If you
want to debug the software it's pretty bad.
Optimizing means that information gets stripped away that's necessary for
debugging - the devs get a backtrace that contains information which is not
useful or not human readable.
So we should be careful while building - this is especially an warning to those
who use source based distributions!
My Shell config file contains the following two entries :
export CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb"
export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
These cflags/cxxflags will tell the compiler to turn off optimization and to
turn on debugging code.
I would recommend that you'll transfer this in your .bashrc or whatever you use.
Please install the -dbg packages, if your distribution ships them! These are
required for proper debugging!
If you are using a source based distribution, turn off stripping at least for
the dependencies! See "!strip" Feature in ArkLinux BuildSystem, Gentoo :
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml etc!
Before the actual build takes place
Prepare a build-directory
mkdir -p ~/sources/gnome
cd ~/sources/gnome
I guess you are not an developer on gnome, like this we use the anonymous GIT
access :
The server is "git://git.gnome.org/".
Now it depends on what you want to have :
evolution | evolution-data-server | gtkhtml | libsoup | evolution-mapi |
evolution-exchange
The general checkout command is "git clone git://git.gnome.org/MODULE_NAME"
where MODULE_NAME is one of the above.
evolution-mapi / evolution-exchange are optional!
Please fetch now evolution | evolution-data-server | gtkhtml | libsoup !
A few notes before building :
I build with the usual prefix /usr/local. Therefore everything that's written
here depends on this prefix.[ as it is the usual prefix, I don't need to set
--prefix=/usr/local. If you want another prefix, please append the --prefix
option to autogen.sh! ]
The following might be necessary to run evolution after building or influences
building too :
[ replace BASE_VERSION with the version of evolution... ]
export CPUS="-jX"
--> defines that make uses X jobs.
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
--> tells pkg-config where to look for his configuration files
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/evolution/BASE_VERSION:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
--> directories in which to search for shared libraries
export
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/libexec:/usr/local/libexec/evolution/BASE_VERSION/$PATH"
--> sets the PATH variable
For evolution < 2.29 :
export
BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH="/usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers:$BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH"
(or edit /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml [or wherever
bonobo-activation-config.xml lies] to include
/usr/local/lib64/bonobo/servers ! [leave the rest like it is!] )
Doing libsoup
pushd libsoup
./autogen.sh
make $CPUS
make install
popd
Doing gtkhtml
pushd gtkhtml
./autogen.sh
make $CPUS
make install
popd
Doing evolution-data-server ( with gnome-keyring support enabled )

Thanks for the hint; I've tried a test filter because this is new to me in Evo; based on the Subject containing 'ttt' it should be copied to a folder; the filter does not work; I went to the FAQ and enabled filter logging; the log file is created but zero size; and yes: I've set in the options of the Exchange accout 'apply filter to Inbox on this server'; what else could be wrong? thx matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Reading the FAQ again and thinking about, I have the feeling that this (filtering in an Exchange located Inbox) can't work at all. The mail arrives in the Exchange server's Inbox, regardless if I'm connected to this with my Evolution client. Only filters which are installed there on the other side of the world could be run through, but not mine one I'm defining locally. This kind of filtering can only work locally based on IMAP fetches. Someone should correct the FAQ, I think. matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

When you were talking about exchange I would think of the exchange plugin, not IMAP. Note that filters are applied to newly downloaded messages only. There had been done some change in the past in IMAP, thus this might also need "a proper version" for this to have it working. I'm talking about bug #324804, though looking into it it's in since 2.21.91, thus quite old change. Nonetheless you've right, if you want to move your messages on the server, without having evolution running, then it cannot be done within Evolution only. Though if you access your mail account only with evolution, from one machine, then you should be able to do that within the client itself. I hope I didn't confuse you much.

But using the exchange plugin, the mail is not really downloaded, but only presented. Ofc, I could download the mail moving it from the in...@exchange to some local folder with drag&drop. > I'm talking about bug #324804, though looking into it it's in since > 2.21.91, thus quite old change.

As was said above, filters should work here. Though they don't for you. You can check the filter functionality when you manually apply the filter on selected messages, with Message->Apply Filters menu option. If that will work then the filter is configured properly, if not then try to fix it. Properly configured filters should be applied to your exchange Inbox automatically, as you said you've that set in your account preferences. I cannot recall any exact bug mentioning this beyond 2.24.5 and today, though I've such a feeling that there was something. But just a feeling.

In that case I'd assume it's an Exchange issue (e.g. does Exchange respect the \Unseen flag?) Alternativelym, are there server-side filters running which might affect the flag? Do you have a "new-mail" applet which reads the mailbox and might affect the flag? Do your other filters work or is this the only one with problems? poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I know its not part of the regular install in most distros (in fact I can't even get it installed in my normal one, but Ubuntu has it, with dependency issues though, you need to manually install samba4), but I believe that is supposed to be 'the' canonical way to connect to exchange? ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
