Well, it's not really garbage - it's the content type separator.

Gmail is strange though in lots of the ways it does things - it's IMAP
implementation is a kludge on top of how Google thinks mail should be
handled. What it looks like is that there is some timing issues between
Gmail processing the mail and Evolution attempting to retrieve it.

A few things you can try:

Have a look at the source of the message and see if the MIME structure
is correct - see if the encoded PDF attachment is present or not.

Try reducing the number of concurrent connections in the account setup.

If it is because Evo is retrieving things too quickly, then it might
help to delete the cache and get it to download the mail again. (Stop
Evolution and it's mail subprocesses and then remove the directory
~/.cache/evolution/mail - when Evolution is restarted it will recreate
the directory and re-populate the cache, if you have lots of subfolders
or a slow connection, it will take a while.)

[Evolution] Customize printing of monthly calendar

2016-09-05 Thread moldev

Hi,

I like to have a pdf with events from my calendars for the current 
month. Evolution allows me to produce such file very easily, however I 
haven't found any way to customize the printed page. The most important 
thing I would like to change is the possibility that events take more 
than one line, ideally as many as needed to display the whole summary, 
possibly limited by the total number of lines allowed per day.


Is there a way at present to obtain such behaviour? If not perhaps other 
would agree that it could be a useful feature?


Cheers,

-- Miguel

[Evolution] One hour off on appointments created with evolution-ews and looking at them with OWA or Outlook

2016-09-05 Thread Torsten Krah
Hi,

attached is a sample appointment i did create and i would expect it to
be from 1000-1030 am (Europe/Berlin) timezone - i've configured this
also as standard timezone in the settings - evolution does show it
correctly in its calendar view.

But if i or other outlook people look at the appointment in owa or via
outlook its one hour off and displayed from 1100-1130am :-|

Creating appointment with owa or outlook are correct shown with
evolution (ews) - but my ones created with evolution ews are one hour
off.

I am using:

evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu2
evolution-ews 3.10.2-0ubuntu2

from ubuntus lucid lts distribution.

Does the attachment looks anything suspicious (did not yet had time to
read the ews specs about time zones and utc conversions for appointments
- hopefully someone else has some knowledge and can provide some input
here)?

Anything i could debug further or should try?

Cheers

Torsten

Hi,
yes, that's it. You'll see the added reminder for newly created
appointments straight when the event editor is opened, if it's used.

Hi,
the Evolution used to download messages in chunks, which doesn't work
well with GMail, and maybe other, server somehow. This had been
addressed by [1] for 3.20.0.

Hi,
it looks like you've there some filtering on. Try to make sure that the
top line reads:
   Show: [ All Messages ] Search: [ some gray text with the filter name] in 
[Current Folder ]
This is what is shown for me. Some older evolution versions could
pretend that no filter is active while some is in the background, which
can partly explain why the change of the scope worked for you the first
time.

I would try to click the magnifier icon on the left of the "Search:"
entry and pick for example "Subject or Addresses contain", then type
some text into the entry and press enter. The right icon of the same
entry will be enabled, and when you click it it'll clear the text you
wrote into it. Then you might see your messages, supposing that other
filter options, like the first on the left, are not active (thus reads
[All Messages]).

Hi,
could you verify that the Web interface or other clients see the
attachment, only the evolution 3.20.5 doesn't, please? I ask because
the evolution doesn't remove attachments on its own. As I referenced in
the original thread (I do not know why the thread-starting message had
been sent twice to this list), this bug report is related:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761096
The multi-fetch can be turned on, even it requires changes in the
.source files, or have the account created in an older evolution, which
had the multi-fetch enabled by default.

Hi,
I suggest to update to a  distribution which provides more recent
evolution.

> (did not yet had time to read the ews specs about time zones and

The evolution 3.10.4 had been released on 2014-02-10, which is more
than two and half year ago. The answer for the above is: yes (I would
also write something sarcastic about using ancient versions as a side
note, but let's not do it).

As you use LTS (which stands for Long Time Support, if I recall
correctly) distribution, then you might ask the distribution
maintainers to find which of the change(s) fixed the timezone handling
in the evolution-ews during those 2.5 years and ask them to backport
that(those) change(s) to their distribution, because it's them, whom
are doing the 'Support'.

I recall there had been done several timezone handling fixes in the
evolution-ews during the time.

[Evolution] Folder subscriptions not preserved

2016-09-05 Thread Patrick O'Callaghan
Evolution 3.20.4

Following on a recent thread about OAuth2, I deleted my Gmail account
info from Evolution and recreated it using OAuth2 rather than GOA.

Note that I only subscribe to a subset of my Gmail folders (labels) in
Evo, and these are correctly shown in the Folder Subscription dialogue.
However after the above change I find that *all* of the account folders
are shown in the folders pane, independently of their status in the
dialogue.

Furthermore, if I explicitly toggle the subscription check-box for a
folder in the dialogue twice, i.e. subscribe then unsubscribe, that
folder then vanishes from the pane, but when I quit and restart Evo the
folder is back again.

Has anyone else seen this? Could there be a mixup with Evo's database
because of the account deletion/recreation?

Hi,
see whether "Show only subscribed folders" is checked in the account
Properties, Receiving Options tab. That influences what is shown. The
default for it changed meanwhile, thus your newly created account might
use a different setting for you.

Yes, that's kind of design. The option about showing only subscribed
folders is private for the IMAP accounts, thus the folder tree doesn't
know about it. I think it can be fixed, the unsubscribed signal not
being emitted when the "Show only subscribed folders" is not set, but I
do not know how much it would be confusing too, to someone else.

> Could there be a mixup with Evo's database
> because of the account deletion/recreation?

Fortunately not, the different accounts use different folders for their
local cache. It's only about different settings being used. By the way,
the subscription is fully saved on the IMAP server and the evolution
relies on the server, to provide correct list of subscribed folders.

Milan

sry, no filter at all, but I must have configured something I didn't
understand completely:
The next time these mails appeared two days later (today in the morning)
in the Inbox of my Exchange account 8-(

What is really strange: I have another IMAP account, that behaves
totally different, i.e. as expected ;)
I compared both of them and the settings are equal.

So I am really clueless, where the problem may be.
Is it possible that it is a server problem - despite the fact that with
Outlook everything works as expected?

ok, then I second your suggestion to change the option text to

[ ] Set default reminder [18] [hours] before every new appointment

This would definitely improve the understanding of that option.
