Re: [Evolution] Evolution Exchange in Ubuntu Hardy

[Axel <wintera yahoo com>]

Barry -

You can Outlook2003 also from Wine (CrossOver Office has an auto installer and not fiddling required).Â

As for EVO. I am getting it still from the channel (latest backports et al). Three issues in that order:

1.) Freezing of EVO, I perceive it checking for the Exchange and/or LDAP Server (avg 2-3 times a day)

2.) Lost connection to backend process (can be Exchange, but also others) (avg 2-3 times a day)

3.) Rarely does not pick up all mail/calendar items (I am not using any of the offline fuctions, but use a Message Filter to MOVE Emails into the local inbox; this trick works pretty well)

I pressume that the issue is the connectivity to the exchange server. Either in a slow network environment or possibly with 'funny' protocol messages from owa. However, I did not debug it, just a gut feel.

Now on days when all 3 don't show up. Evo is a really good and much faster and lighter then Outlook. Although that is not to often.

If the Evo team could focus on especially 1-2, that would change worlds and actually allow me to recommend the solution across the co.Â

By the way: Does anyone not have these issues in the Evo Exchange combination? If there is someone can you post your version and also OS information? I used Evo on Mandriva for about 1-2 hours and it 'felt' more stable - although just in online mode only and it could have been a lucky moment ;-)Â

Cheers.

Axel

I've given this almost a month to see if there would be any updates, but it's so bad, I've actually regressed several years, and am now depending on Outlook running on my (virtual) Windows XP system. I'm going to try building from source, but previous attempts at that were unsuccessful (or more realistically, too time consuming)

I've been running the latest SVN head versions on Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10
since about last August, so that's 2.21.9x and 2.22.x. ÂI was building
my own gtkhtml, e-d-s, evolution, and evolution-exchange for a while,
then when the backward-incompatibilities in libsoup etc. came along
earlier this year I also started building glib, libsoup, and libbonobo
myself. ÂThey were/are working fine.

Ubuntu's releases are scheduled to arrive just after each Gnome release,
so Hardy contains the just-released version of Gnome and Evolution,
2.22. ÂI'm not sure the minor version; I'll check tomorrow (the 64bit
system is at work).
