We ourselves did not yet test evolution-kolab against Kolab 2.3.2, but our sponsor did, and there seemed to be no issues related to 2.2.4 vs. 2.3.2 so far. The testing against 2.3.2, however, was not much intense, so there might be issues which we are not yet aware of. > Unfortunately I couldn't > get it to work, only email worked, but I could neither see contacts or the > calendar.

The need to set up every folder individually is due to limitations in the 2.30 Evolution implementation. We could have hacked around these issues, but we do not have the resources to do so. We can in no way compete with Kontact's user experience when using Kolab so far, Kontact has some developer years more on it's account than we have. :) > Evolution had already became *very* unresponsive after adding Kolab > resources for mail, contacts and and calendar. In its present state, it is advisable to test evolution-kolab against a Kolab account which does not have too many items stored (100..200 pim objects should not be any problem, above 1000 we're already running into D-BUS timeouts). Speedup work is underway, but not yet done. > So I wonder if there is a way to properly debug why it didn't work or why > evolution became so slow.

Debugging is possible by starting EDS (it consists of two factory processes, one for contacts, one for calendar) in a terminal with some environment variables set and checking the output. I'm about to create a wiki page for that (will be cut-and-paste from developer emails mostly, in German, translators welcome). I'll let you know once it is done. > [...] Kind regards, Christian -- kernel concepts GbR Tel: +49-271-771091-14 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48 D-57072 Siegen http://www.kernelconcepts.de/
