Not really. It is just that evolution starts alarm daemon (If it is not
started already), when it starts. You can start the daemon seperately
using /opt/gnome/libexec/evolution/2.6/evolution-alarm-notify. You can
add it to the startup programs, in which case it would behave the way
you wanted.

Re: [Evolution] open in gnumeric does not appear for csv attachment

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

It is an ugly bug. I have fixed it. It should be there in the next
stable release onwards. It works perfectly on a message composer
attachment bar. 

I would prefer you to file a bug (If one is not there already)and assign
it to me, just to track it.

In case you have built with GNOME KEYRING, make sure that your keyring
daemon exists. Normally, it is started , unless you "su or ssh" as a
user. In which case you have to start the gnome-keyring-daemon and
export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET GNOME_KEYRING_PID manually and start
evolution from the shell.

Atm, there is no option for such configuration. It was it my plans

Re: [Evolution] Just upgraded to Evo 2.8.2 with Suse 10.2, won't remember password

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hey Michael,

if at all you have to start gnome-keyring-daemon from command line, you
have to export the PID and SOCKET ID manually using export command. Only
then it works. One interesting point is that why gnome-keyring-daemon is
not started automatically during your gdm session? If it is done that
way, it should be working cool.

Re: [Evolution] sort by date and group by threads

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

In 2.8.x onwards, if the thread is collapsed, the date of the thread is
considered to be the date of the most recent message in the thread. But
if it is expanded, it doesnt follow this. You can collapse all threads
(View->Collapse All Threads) may be once in a while to know, if any new
messages popped to the old threads.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251573#c11 tells about other
SUSE variants which were under the support period [5 years or so, not
sure on this]. Im sure there would be a possible update to those
versions also, if it is raised.

Chen made an awesome tool that will migrate meetings in the Personal as
well as Groupwise calendars to the new DST.

http://chenthill.wordpress.com/2007/03/16/migrating-appointments-from-old-timezone-to-updated-ones/

But for Exchange, since the DST information is maintained in the Server,
we need a tool that can change the information in the server. We are
working on this currently. Ideally this has to happen through Evolution,
as this requires cache updation and the server up-sync of the cache.
There could be more scenarios than what we assume. 

Alternatively Microsoft has [1] a DST update tool that runs in the
server and updates the system timezone information and also migrates all
user calendars to new timezone. This also can solve the issue, but we
haven't tested with this and have no more information.

Anyways Exchange calendar migration for Evolution would be posted on the
list, once that is completed. Watch out!!!

Re: [Evolution] Plugin or other way to display TNEF encoded attachment

Ilya,

IIRC Notzed wrote a EPlugin for tnef attachments. It is not part of SVN,
you can google for the plugin and build it manually.

Awesome stuff. It will be great to have a page for *all* plugins and
some maintenance also. We should be welcoming more and more plugins with
these. Of course the plugins manual has to be updated rightly with more
and more tutorials. It will be of much advantage to do this.

The development version (2.11.x) features this. You can set options to
empty junk, the same way you do for Trash.

You need to select which spam plugin to use in preferences. By default,
when you install via a rpm, SpamAssasin would be set. You can choose
Bogofilter also from there.

Re: [Evolution] GAL autocomplete hanging Evo (2.11.90)

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hi Paul,

It could be possible that GAL is being cached at the backend. Can you
try a few things? 

Check if you have enabled GAL for offline usage (if not enable it). If
so just delete your current cache ~/.evolution/cache/addressbook/gal*
and start evolution-exchange in a separate terminal and start evolution
-c contacts and select GAL and wait to get 'Search for Contact' which
would mean that GAL is cached. Then try your autocompletions and other
things.

Let me know, how it goes.

You won't face that GAL lockup/crash ldap_op_* anymore in svn. I fixed

[Evolution] Exchange MAPI Connector

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello everyone,

For Evolution 2.22 we should be having MAPI based Exchange connector
which developed in parallel with Openchange based libmapi. The team is
currently working on that and the code is currently maintianed at GNOME
SVN in EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH (both for evolution and
evolution-data-server)

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/

I created the branch yesterday and we committed our week long effort
there. We now have a working account setup plugin, base camel/calendar
code and a partially working addressbook impl. Things should get to a
working shape in another week or two. I hope that soon, Johnny would be
able to create a OpenSUSE Build Service repository (rpms for OpenSUSE,
Fedora, Ubuntu and few more) for Evolution and its dependencies so that
users can install the rpms and get a feel of it even before the
release. 

-Srini.

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.

Re: [Evolution] Exchange and GAL port

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Ian,

Evolution GAL uses the openldap to fetch addresses. It should be using
the ldap port.
Try using ldap calls to your server to see if you can get the replies
from your GAL server.

Part of the evolution team at Novell is doing this work. I don't
think/know of any agreement for MAPI/Evolution related in that. We are
using OpenChange based libmapi to connect to the Exchange Server and it
works pretty well.

I was looking for a pre-release this week but due to some issues and
holidays in India I think this might be pushed a week or two later. In
the whole I'm looking at a feature complete around GNOME 2.22 release.
Unfortunately I'm not sure, if I can commit to the GNOME release or not,
since this code has some licensing issues which I'm still working at
Novell to clear them off. Only after that I can commit the code to the
Evolution trunk. Till then I'm hoping is to have weekly/biweekly
opensuse buildservice packages for SUSE/Fedora/Debian (What ever OBS
supports) for testing and help us back. If any one wants to help us in
getting the OBS ready, your help is welcome.

You need to gain the maintainers confidence to commit with out
review ;-)

Even for most of our patches, we do internal review. Lot of time, even
my patches I get them reviewed by someone to be more confident. The
review process shouldn't stop you really :)

I really don't want to push any code that has licensing issues into the
main tarball and developing in a branch and merging later would be fine,
since it helps to keep the stability of the trunk. Changes from the
trunk aren't integrated to the branch. Later some point, I would merge
the branch to trunk. It should be pretty simple IMO

Evolution/
configure.in
plugins/exchange-mapi

EDS/
configure.in
addressbook/backend/mapi
calendar/backend/mapi
camel/providers/mapi
servers/mapi

These are the directories and just the configure.in and Makefile.am
would be the real merge work. I could have made this a conditional
compilation in trunk, but still I want to do the initial things in a
branch and merge.

[Evolution] Evolution progress for 2.22

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello Everyone

I just released Evolution and friends for GNOME 2.21.3 and this has been
mostly a bug fixing release. Thanks a lot to Prasad and Suman for the
late-night sanity and tarball validation and also to our 'Patch-bot'
Milan and all the other contributors for your patches. 

Till now in 2.22 cycle, we have done
* Google Calendar suppport
* Support for external editors as composers
* New Tango icons look
* lots of bug fixes.

I'm hoping to get the following things for 2.22 cycle.

* Exchange Smartcard support (Mostly done and GAL is still pending)
* Non-Intrusive error reporting (Prototype patch is there, not started
yet)
* Matt's new-look composer

I have already announced that there is a lot of effort spent on
implementing MAPI based Exchange connector using OpenChange's libmapi.
I'm not sure, if that can make it to 2.22, since I still haven't got a
licensing clearance. Anyways, it can be available as a plugin for all
the 2.22 users by their packagers. 

We also had lots of discussion about Split/UAM on d-d-l. I'm thinking of
getting UAM at least done for 2.22. Just proposal are in place and
nothing started. I would update the progress as it happens.

I see that this is already fixed in a different bug. I hope that we would fix

some form (may be in MAPI) pretty soon.

Hello Guys,

With 2.21.4 out, this is the update/status-check on where we are wrt
2.22 release schedule.

The framework as well the mail-thread integration is already committed.
It features a log viewer as well. Read my blog [1] for more detailed
description of the feature.

> * Matt's new-look composer
Matt has already posted his mail [2] about the status on the composer
branch (I haven't compiled that yet though). We should be looking at the
Phase 1 & 2 for 2.22, keeping Jan 28 as the target for UI Freeze.

New additions:

* Evolution crash detection also made it to 2.21.4. If Evolution crashes
and on next start, it gives a option to hide preview panes to over come
the issues of recurring-crash-on-mail-read. This can be disabled through
the dialog itself.

* Milan has picked Sankar's work on Message tagging (Custom labels) and
made it for 2.21.4. Some more patches for this are yet to hit the trunk.
But the base feature works though.

Apart from these, I don't think we would be adding any new features for
2.21.x and we would be focusing more on to bug fixing, stability and
performance issues only.

MAPI is something that is going on in parallel. It should be available
as a external rpm/plugin for 2.22/2.12 users.

We did Google Calendar support as part of GSOC and it is there in 2.22
already. We don't have any plans for eGroupware in the current release.
Do add it to the planning page, so that it can be looked at the right
time in future. http://go-evolution.org/Evo2.22

Jon,

If you are looking at doing this, you can contact Sankar (Cced in this

He was involved in the porting 2.6 to Mac.

Re: [Evolution] Exchange Server 2007

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Exchange 2007 support is on the way. If you are building from source
build Evolution and EDS from EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH from Gnome svn. You
may get a buggy but working connector. I feel that it should be mostly
done by March or so.

We call it Evolution 2.22 and not 2.14 (Versions are synced with GNOME).
There is a  Exchange MAPI connector work in progress that can work
against Exchange 5.5/2000/2003/2007. The plugin would be usable against
2.22 but won't be part of 2.22 release though. Since it might arrive  a
bit late than the actual 2.22 release.

It is based on OpenChange's libmapi and will work against 5.5, 2000,
2003 and 2007.

Hmm, I dont think this provider can work against OWA. You may have to

MS Exchange 2007 support in currently under development. If you build

Hello Everyone,

We are planning to have a hackfest on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 where we
plan to fix crashers all through the day across all timezones. 

The following url lists all the stacktrace bugs.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=Evolution&product=Evolution+Exchange&product=Evolution-Data-Server&product=GtkHtml&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=stacktrace&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=
 

Akhil, is working on a page to get a good 50 bugs out of the existing
300 stacktrace bugs. See the wiki page
http://www.go-evolution.org/Hackfest . Feel free to add any important
crashers to it. Any suggestions to reproduce it, if isn't part of the
bug, would be much appreciated. If you have reported crashers before
that are happening frequently and aren't marked with 'stacktrace'
keyword, please do mark them with the keyword, so that it appears on our
list.

Everyone is invited to hack along with us. Just ping me (srag) or any
other hackers on #evolution channel in GIMPNet. 

Thanks and Happy Hacking

Exchange is something that we have much focus now. Specially the MAPI
branch that we are working on should solve most of the issues and also
support for Exchange 2007. But still it is premature to rely on. But
really that is our answer as our long term solution.

I understand that the current provider wasn't best written/maintained,
but a lot of that has to do with the reverse engineered approach and
unknown open protocol. 

Lets hope for the mapi provider to remove all of these issues. And also
it should be much faster than the current one.

Yes, we have the usable binaries out for the users (Fedora and
OpenSUSE). We were thinking of getting them in early December. But due
to a lot of issues we had, we have slipped badly and would reach a
feature complete late march only. So try out the preview packages.

Re: [Evolution] Cannot login to Exchange 2007 using the Evolution MAPI Plugin

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Johnny,

Is there a way, we can export the DEBUG infos better? I think that would
have helped to debug better here.

Antonio, I feel that Johnny would push another build tomorrow, with the
debug infos enabled. With that, it should be easier to debug.

I think, I can't say much with the one liner really and sorry for the
trouble.

Antonio,

there is a way to get more debug info (basically the mapi packet trace).
I think atm it is programatically triggered. We need to have that over a
env variable.

Re: [Evolution] [Evolution-hackers] Stacktrace Hackfest

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Thanks a lot everyone for your every one on your efforts for the
Stacktrace hackfest.

Over all it was a very good one, we made 21 crasher fixes and some on
the way fixes and the table is at http://www.go-evolution.org/Hackfest 

Some prominent fixes are:

- itip-formatter's pobject/puri rewrite. It is against one bug, but on
the stacktrace list it has many different forms and would fix all. Can
potentially fix close to 10 bugs in the list.

- Sankar's famous vfolder's crash at exit/account disable. Though it is
not killed completely, he made amazing progress and should be done for
2.21.90. It potentially can fix nearly 30+ bugs. Mostly they appear as
traces with camel_vee_message_info_free or camel_message_info_32 or
something similar to this.

- And many others my our friendly awesome Evolution hackers :)

Looking forward to have few more hacking sessions like this.

Thanks
Srini.

Re: [Evolution] New Mail Notification Applet

Des,

Evolution 2.22 will have the option (notify for other folders also)that
you are looking for. And regarding the raise of the window, I remember I
received a patch but that still needed some work which didn't happen.

[Evolution] Evolution 2.21.90 , Evolution-Data-Server 2.21.90 , GtkHTML3.17.90.1 and Evolution-Exchange 2.21.90 released

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hi All,

The Evolution Team is pleased to announce the release of Evolution
2.21.90.

You can download the following :

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gtkhtml/3.17/gtkhtml-3.17.90.1.tar.bz2
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-data-server/2.21/evolution-data-server-2.21.90.tar.bz2

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-exchange/2.21/evolution-exchange-2.21.90.tar.bz2

Upgrade Notes :
Evolution 2.21.x is the unstable series of 2.22 development.
(Note: Evolution/EDS/Exchange versions are synced with the GNOME
versions)

RELNOTE: If you are using Exchange/Groupwise, we suspect there may be some 
regressions due 
to new libsoup integration. In case, you observe any regressions or memory 
built up or not able to connect to 
the server in some scenarios, report a bug as soon as possible with all the 
required information.
RELNOTE: If you have created labels/tags using Evolution 2.21.4. You
need to delete them and recreate using 2.21.5 or later. We have changes the way
labels are stored now. It should be final now.

Joao,

Can you report a bug at bugzilla.gnome.org if one is not there already?

Also, it will be nice, if you can share one such mail with us. Feel free
to mask out the sensitive portion of the mail.

CC me in the bug. Thanks

[Evolution] Spam Improvements & Default spam filter

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Guys,

We have done some pretty good improvements to SPAM filter in Evolution
2.24

(*) White list support
(*) Header based filtering (You can check for headers set by SpamPal or
SpamAssasin or any such server side spam headers hints). It will be a
lot faster, as you decide a spam without downloading the message.

Currently we are having SpamAssassin as the default junk filter and I
remember lots of people having issues with SA (interms of speed,
resources it occupies, memory, processes etc). IIRC some distros already
use bogofilter as the default junk filter.

I'm proposing to make Bogofilter as the default junk filter for
Evolution. Any thoughts to it?

[Evolution] Evolution/EDS/Exchange/GtkHTML branched for GNOME 2.22

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello guys,

I have branched Evolution, Evolution-Data-Server, Evolution Exchange and
GtkHTML for stable releases. The new branch name is gnome-2-22.

Have a look at http://go-evolution.org/Evo2.24 for more information on
Evolution for GNOME 2.24. 

Evolution 2.24 code named as "Baltra".
 
Thanks
Srini.

PS: I missed to add e-l and e-h in my original mail.

=

Spam Improvements 
  * Bogofilter as default spam filter

[Evolution] Evolution 2.23.5 , Evolution-Data-Server 2.23.5 , GtkHTML3.23.5 and Evolution-Exchange 2.23.5 released

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hi All,

The Evolution Team is pleased to announce the release of Evolution
2.23.5. 

You can download the following :

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gtkhtml/3.23/gtkhtml-3.23.5.tar.bz2
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-data-server/2.23/evolution-data-server-2.23.5.tar.bz2

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-exchange/2.23/evolution-exchange-2.23.5.tar.bz2

Upgrade Notes :
Evolution 2.23.x is the unstable series of 2.24 development.

What is New ?
=

CAUTION: We have merged Camel DB Summary based on sqlite with this
release. It has a migration code for 2.22.x, but for 2.23.4 users, it
wont be invoked, but the code is to auto migrate on demand which might
be a bit slow. It should be fairly stable, with a lot of known issues.
Search is partial atm. VFolders aren't fully functional and the
unread/total counts are messed up a bit and a lot more. Please add all
the bugs you see due to this to the tracker bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543389 

Non-default old camel providers may not work with 2.23.5 , like imap4 or
evolution-brutus etc.

It might be due to the new sqlite based on-disk-summary. There are still
issue pending, which we are working out. The new approach should be
resulting in fast vfolders and start up. Specially there is a bug, where
unread mails vfolders might not work well.

Looks like a new bug, totally not related to the disk summary. Worth
reporting a bug and CC me there.

Oh, I meant that in the tracker bug #543389, there is a bug for this.

Brian, see what happens is that its the time, just after the release
most of us take offs and vacations. Infact, we know some issues and we
are fixing also. Just check today's code drop on stable branch, you
would understand that we are really fixing issues for 2.24.1. It has
some basic arch changes, that made us break ABI and so much of changes
there. Infact, I'm looking for a 2.24.0.1 release sometime next week, as
the changes are substantial to have a mid-point-release. Also our QA is
on a long vacation and back just last week and its holiday period in
India. I hope you understand.

If Ubuntu decides to wait till 2.24.1, I'm none to stop it. AFAICS, I'm
in touch with Seb who packages Evo for Ubuntu and I'm working on some of
his top blockers.

This should be new with the sqlite backend. Its due to the fact that old
version use to count every time and we try to adjust everytime. Im
fixing mostly, AFAIK, there is just one issue pending in IMAP and
vfolder counts are still screwed up :(. Im working for it.

Unread-quick search and unread vfolders are still problematic. Im
working on this currently. I had a fix for unread vfolder, but that
doesn't seem to fix it for some people. So still working to find the
exact scenario.

I hope that I should resolve these before 2.24.2.

[Evolution] Evolution 2.24.3 and beyond

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello guys,

Today I released Evolution (and friends) 2.24.3. This is the last stable
release in the GNOME stable cycle. But given the issues that 2.24.x
series introduced, we would be releasing Evolution 2.24.4 and 2.24.5
and there will be full support till the release of Evolution 2.26.0
[March 16]. 

I haven't worked out the dates exactly, but plan to have one release
later in January and another in mid/late February. This would one of the
agenda in this week's team meeting. Thanks a lot for all your support.

The 'Storing Folder' issue should be gone in 2.24.4. We now have a
sqlite-vfs that does async disk write, as what Mozilla does.

Sqlite db grows odd and slow over a period of months due to table
recreation etc, so you can try the following script once in a while
http://www.gnome.org/~sragavan/evolution-rebuild-summarydb


It vacuums the db. I'm looking to do it programmatic, but it makes lot
of difference.

Its beter, if it is stopped. Or make sure that no other task [filtering,
downloading] is in progress while you are doing this. It might lock the

Re: [Evolution] Feedback about webkit editor

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Thanks Ruchir for the feedback. Its not even 0.1, but fast approaching.

I would say, composer work isn't yet started, and what we have in
composer is just a proof-of-concept, which deals only html mails for now
and bharath is working on a branch for gmail-like-inline-reply in
conversation.  We are mostly focusing on base frameworks & improving the
mail-reading experience. I would say, update once a week to checkout, we
are progressing at tremendous speed.

This is a known problem, in the way old data was written by version
prior to Evolution 2.24. The only way you can migrate is remove or
move .summary and/or .ev-summary files from your .evolution/mail/. This
would let Evolution do auto-migration, instead of migrating from the
summary files. If you have IMAP or other remote accounts, it downloads
summary from the server. export FILTER_RECENT=1 if you have filters to
archive mails from remote, servers, as it might download old mails and
you don't want to re-archive them.

its may not be upto date.

[Evolution] Evolution maintainership

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello guys,

This mail is to announce some of the role changes in the Evolution project. I 
have been thinking about this for a long time, and I feel that this is the best 
time to implement them.

I am proud to announce Chenthill P (chen) as the new Evolution maintainer. He 
is a long time contributor to the Evolution project and has been working in the 
project for over 5 years.  He is well known in the community for his expertise 
in Calendar component and has been its maintainer for the last 4 years.  He has 
been one of the prime contributors for the Groupwise provider and Microsoft 
Exchange Calendar. A few of his notable contributions include libical 
integration with System timezone for better Daylight savings support, 
single-model-view design of Calendar MVC and removal of libical fork.   He has 
mentored interns and GSOC students on Calendar search improvements, Microsoft 
Exchange Delegation support, Google Calendar integration etc.  

I am also proud to announce that Matthew Barnes (mbarnes) is joining Chenthill 
and support him as the Evolution co-maintainer. He has been contributing 
towards Evolution for over 3 years and is the Mail maintainer for the last 2 
years. He has made significant contributions towards obsoleting several 
libraries, and helping to migrate to newer technologies. He has been working on 
Kill-Bonobo which is a major revamp of Evolution Shell. This involves rewriting 
Evolution components and UI which is a focus area for Evolution 3.0.

Going forward, I will be focusing on improving evolution infrastructure for 
netbooks and other devices; chen and mbarnes would be driving the Evolution 
project direction and releases.

Please join me in congratulating chen and mbarnes, and in wishing them good 
luck in their new roles.

-Srini.

I have added color, when search is active. Im not sure about HIG here.
It never said any thing about coloring or probably im not reading the
right section. Just see how this is. Probably my color selection may be
my color selection is not great :-) See this for a idea. 

I remember there are a few bugs for this. Actually when advanced search
is active, it is not at all clear that a filter is applied. Since the
entry will be empty and the menu option will be set to "Advanced
Search..." it is difficult to understand from that.

hmm :-) Im taking on these things. Ive got Johnny working on UI with me.
We should be doing a lot of fixes. We probably, can fix as much as
issues as we can. Probably, in the wiki, we can list some of must fixes
and we can go based on that as well.
