Re: [Evolution] evolution exchange

[Nigel Atherton <Nigel Atherton co za>]

Just came back online and noticed lots of emails about my transgression.
Oops, bit of a noobie and didn't know the protocol.

When I sent out the original email, the messages that had been deleted
at work all still appeared in evolution.

Much later (longer than an hour) the folder just magically seemed to
update and remove the files that had been deleted.

I was online all the time and there were no issues with the connection.

I had a similar issue again today.  This time I worked on 20 unread
emails in evolution, deleted them etc and when I looked at the folder
tree, it still displayed 20 unread emails.

I came back a few hours later and it now only shows 2 unread which is
correct.

Its as though there is some form of delay in syncing changes between
Evolution and the exchange server.

Any ideas?

Ubuntu is fully patched and on hardy.

The system has been working for about two months now.  I haven't tried
send and receive and after a while (about an hour) the email did seem
to sync eventually.

I used the exchange server set up and all the other features seem to
work find.

Nope, I didn't use offline mode?

Do I need to give any other info?

What you've said above confuses me somewhat.  Are you saying that if you
wait long enough, Evolution will sync with the exchange server and work
correctly?

I know that when I go home for the day, my Evo at home is often in some
confused state regarding which mail has been received, which has been
read, and which has been deleted.

I just click the "Send/Receive" button to force Evo to go sync with the
server, and it figures out which mail has been deleted, which mail has
been read, etc. and adjusts my mail summary accordingly.

Sometimes I see a few bogus emails left that, when I click on them, give
an error about how the message cannot be retrieved from the server
(because I deleted them when I was at work).  But it's not every email
and I just delete those again.


So, does that work for you?  If not, does it work to exit Evo and
restart it?
