[Evolution] Small points about Evo 2.4 and exchange

[regatta <regatta gmail com>]

Hi

I'm using Evo with exchange since Ximian released connector as GPL,
any way here is some point maybe someone can help me or it can be
fixed in the next release :

1. if you open a new compose and write the emails that you want to
send the message to them, evolution will hang for few seconds (to get
the full name from GAL I think), this issue is there from the
beginning and anyway it's much faster with version 2.4 but it's still
there

so my question is, why don't we make it like outlook, the user write
the names then he click in a "check" button so evolution after that go
to GAL and get the names

2. if you write  names in compose window and then write click in the
name, you will not get any information about the user (not like in
outlook)

it's will be nice to get some information , like the name or the phone number

3. if you write names in compose window and write click you will find
"Edit" option  in the popup menu (if I recall it's edit ....
something"), anyway if you select it , evolution will hang and you
have to kill it

4. no simple way to move the names from one field to another , for
example if you write someone in "To:" file and then you want to move
it to "Cc:" you have to remove it and add it again in "Cc:" , no way
to just copy and past (remember I'm talking about exchange)

5. Still no notification window when you receive a new mail (you have
to check evolution from time to time)

6. if you move a message from exchange to local inbox , evo will
detect it as new mail and it will generate a D-Bus message about new
mail and also it will play the new mail   alarm (sound), this is also
if you send a message  , it will detect the Sent mail as new mail

7. if you move a message from exchange to local, it will keep a copy
of it in the exchange "Deleted item"

8. still no way to use or read the distribution list mails

9. (This one no for exchange only)  the compose window, in Evo 2.4 you
can move the tool bar from the top to the right or the left or even to
the bottom, this is very nice , but after you open a new compose, it
will not remember the last position so it will open it in the top !!

10. if you forward a message you will get "[ Fwd: bla bla bla ]" in
the subject , my question is why the "[ ]" !! I mean we don't see it
any other mail client use [ ] in the subject

11. The D-Bus message when there is a new mail is useless , it will
only send the message url, I think we need to send the mail
subject,From,first few line from the message.

this a list of what I remember, if you need any help in any of them
(debug code, recompile....) please let me

Note: I'm using
Linux Gentoo
Gnome 2.12
Evolution 2.3
Kernel 2.6.12
