[Evolution] Weird menu bar above menu bar
Hello folks, since my last system update I have a weird menu bar above the actual menu bar (actual menu bar is the one, that has the drop down menus "File", "Edit", "View" etc.; the weird menu bar is buttons for "Compose " and "Send & Receive" and has the window title in the middle). I attached a screenshot about it. It's a bit annoying, it uses quite a lot of screen space and having those buttons in an extra row seems redundant. I wanted them back in the tool bar. So, is there any way to get this back to how it was? Is it related to Evolution? Or maybe to gtk?

[Evolution] CalDAV is readonly
Hello everyone, I tried to conenct my work calendar (provided by some Exchange server) via CalDAV to Evolution. However it is considered /readonly/ for some reason. How can I make it writeable? I started the calendar factory in debug mode (CALDAV_DEBUG=all and -w flag) to see what the server provides: ... Allow: OPTIONS, PROPFIND, HEAD, GET, REPORT, PROPPATCH, PUT, DELETE, POST <-- I guess the HTML actions are fine... ... The reply to the PROPFIND request is this: ... /users/peter.kra...@kit.edu/calendar/ <-- I guess this means I can write HTTP/1.1 200 OK ... Is there something I do wrong? Maybe a way to override those settings?

Re: [Evolution] Reject a single meeting of a series that got accepted
Hm, thanks, I guess I can do that, but then the whole meeting is gone. I would like to have an Outlook-like behaviour, that simply marks my attendance status as "not attending", so others can also see what I am doing. Is that handled by the EWS protocol or is it an Evolution thing?

Hi, exactly, I'm on 3.34.3. I did indeed do several restarts (without success). Thanks for your efforts though, I'll file a bug on github to keep track of this and see if I am the only one who is affected by this.

Re: [Evolution] CalDAV is readonly
Hi Milan, I did some debugging too and I could get it working by fixing some bug in e_webdav_session_extract_privilege_simple in e-webdav-session.c. I believe the problem is the following: When the privlieges are retrieved from the server, the relevant XML snippet looks like this: As you can see, the privilege node contains the two child nodes, however when it's passed to e_webdav_session_extract_privilege_simple, the for loop stops after evaluating the first one due to the break statement and thus skips any further privileges. So basically it boiled down to e_webdav_session_extract_privilege_simple only returning a single privilege and not the whole set which I think was the bug. Maybe the for loop in e_webdav_session_current_user_privilege_set_cb was supposed to deal with this...? Anyway, my C is pretty rusty so I'd not consider my hacky workaround code any good but if you think it is of any use to clarify the problem, I can send you a diff.

[Evolution] Adding style class to evolution-alarm-notify
Hello, I would like to restyle the Evolution Alarm notification window as it doesn't really look well with the theme I am using. While doing so, I noticed that the window does not contain any information indicating that it's the Evolution window making it a hard to apply a custom style sheet. So my suggestion would be to apply a custom style class to the evolution-alarm-notification window in the same way as many other applications do it for their app windows. Maybe something like this: > /* e-alarm-notify.c, e_alarm_notify_show_window(...) /* > GtkStyleContext *context; > context = gtk_widget_get_style_context(GTK_WIDGET(window)); > gtk_style_context_add_class(context, "evolution-alarm-notify- > window"); I tested this on the latest git version without a problem. Any chance this might be accepted if I create a pull request?

[Evolution] Change attribute mapping in LDAP address books
Hello, our work address book can be accessed using LDAP. But for some reason unknown to me, a user's display name is stored in the "displayname" property.

[Evolution] Hiding the Location in calendar view
Hello! Is there a way to hide the location information of an appointment in the calendar view (week, month)? As of now, the location is in brackets behind an appointments summary/subject when the calendar view set to week/month. However since on my display the columns are pretty narrow and I'd like to shorten the titles if possible.

Re: [Evolution] Hiding the Location in calendar view
Ok, I tried that but I am not fully satisfied. I tried to dig into the code a bit to find out where the string gets constructed yet I have to say it's an overwhelming amount of stuff. Could you point me on where to look out for this? My efforts up to now only allow me to change the background box (I found `week_view_event_item_draw` in `src/calendar/gui/e-week-view-event- item.c` for that...) yet it seems to be unrelated to the text and only draws the boxes.

[Evolution] Evolution w EWS not respecting "From" when sending eMails
Hello! I am using Evolution with our corporate Exchange Server and the EWS plugin. My primary mail address there is prim...@kit.edu, and alias is set up which is al...@kit.edu (changed to make it easier in the following). In Evolution, I am only using my alias (Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> Identity: "Email Address: al...@kit.edu", "Reply-To: al...@kit.edu"). When I compose a new mail, the drop-down next to "From: " has only one option which is my alias (al...@kit.edu). However, and this is where I think things go wrong, when I send an email, the sender shows up as "prim...@kit.edu". I confirmed this by checking the sender using the Outlook web client as well as Thunderbird, both see "prim...@kit.edu" as sender. In addition, I tried to send a mail using SMTP and Thunderbird with my alias setup as sender and it works correctly and "al...@kit.edu" shows up as sender. Is this a bug, a configuration issue, or am I doing it all wrong? -peter ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Showing replies below mails
Hello everyone,
I wonder if it's possible to configure Evolution in a way that I my
reply mails are grouped in the thread they belong to.
Currently, mails are only grouped there if I activate a setting in the
account preferences ("Save replies in the folder of the message"), yet
this only works for mails sent with Evolution.
I also use the account on my smart phone and with other mail clients
(OWA), resulting in the reply emails only present in the sent-mails-
folder and thus not appearing in the mail thread.
Further I found that OWA can indeed group mails with replies in a
thread somehow even if the reply was sent with a totally different mail
program. So I was wondering if Evolution could do that too.
Cheers,
Peter

[Evolution] "Compose New Message" missing in "New" dropdown in toolbar.
Hello everyone! I just found that the "New" dropdown button in the toolbar doesn't do anything when I click it and if I click the little downwards-triangle next to it, all I get is a single entry called "New collection account". I upgraded to version 3.44.4 and I am pretty sure it worked before. Am I doing anything wrong? How can I get the button back to open the mail composer when I click it? maybe it's relevant: I am using gtk3 3.24.34 and gtk4 4.8.1 with awesomeWM (not Gnome).
