RE: [Evolution] Problems with NFS

["John Graber" <badger wi rr com>]

Yep.  I am using mbox over NFS. . .

As to the question about what bug number this was - of course I did not
write that down!

I would VERY much prefer not to have to compile Evo before using it as a
company-wide solution.  Supporting and updating software with custom options
is not high on my list of desirable tasks.

What are my options at present?  What does Ximian plan to implement, if
anything, before 1.0?

John
