Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Environment: Ubuntu 08.10 (Intrepid), Evolution 2.24.3-0ubuntu1

I have an email account set up using the maildir protocol. The root
folder is /home/jnelson/Mail. This account is 8 years old and contains
email messages going back to 2002.

Evolution has trouble displaying certain "older" messages, even though
it seems that the file it's looking for is right there.

Here's an example. I've created a (virtual) search folder from a search
query. The folder's list of messages correctly displays the message
fields: From, Subject, Date and Attachment (paper clip icon). If I
select one of the messages, however, I get this in the message preview pane:

  Unable to retrieve message
  Cannot get message: 1206678826.6638_8.jen from folder
/home/jnelson/Mail/INBOX/XYZ/People/McQuay No such file or directory

But there is a file whose name matches in
/home/jnelson/Mail/INBOX/XYZ/People/McQuay/cur:

  $ ls /home/jnelson/Mail/INBOX/XYZ/People/McQuay/cur/1206678826.6638_8*
  /home/jnelson/Mail/INBOX/XYZ/People/McQuay/cur/1206678826.6638_8.jen:2,S
  $

My system name at the time this message was received was in fact "jen".
However, the system name has changed several times over the years. Could
this be the problem?

What can I do to try to find out why this is failing and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

-Jeff

again, thanks a ton for the feedback Milan!

Now that you mention indeed the issues occurred with a recurrent event that I was trying to change, I'll 
check the bug in bugzilla.



Any alternative methods of sharing calendar among boxes ?

I thought about "sshfs"  mount a common calendar subdirectory among the machines. I assume that would be:

~/.evolution/calendar/local

If this directory is shared among the different boxes (but only one running evolution at a time), would you 
expect issues ?

best regards,
- jan

hey Millan, many thanks for the answers!!


Unfortunately I haven't managed to make it work yet.

After a few tries with the public Yahoo! Calendar, I hit the following issues:

-  They publicize their caldav address as an "https" address, see:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-05.html

- But evolution always convert the "https" to "caldav" and fails to connect.


Yes, it converts the protocol to caldav. To use https check 'Use SLL' in
calendar preferences.


I think I got over this, by changing the address in the caldav part to the port 443 (appending ":443") to 
the hostname.

- Now evolution was able to read most of the entries in the yahoo calendar -- strangely not all of them 
though.


Depends on the event type. There are still opened some CalDAV bugs, one
I can think of is about detached instances of recurring events. There is
no support for them (yet).


- Finally when I tried to change one of the calendar entries, evolution froze.

Do you think this is a problem with yahoo calendar or evolution or both ?


Any backtrace of the frozen evolution? Without that it's hard to tell.
Anyway, this sounds quite out of scope of this mailing list, please open
a bug in http://bugzilla.gnome.org against Evolution, and let's see
there. (I guess your evolution-data-server process crashed because of
incorrect data passed to some libical function, but that's really just a
wild guess.)


Have you had better experience with Davical ( http://www.davical.org ) ?


The things you mentioned (and if my guesses are correct) are pretty same
for any CalDAV server and requires fixing on Evolution side. Though I've
pretty good experience with DAViCal.

   Bye,
   Milan

Once you switch to HTML, things like underline etc. become available in
the editor

Remember that email is an ascii format - things like underline and fonts
are meaningless in emails.  Everything else is done through attachments
and bodges - EVEN html - so if you want something "beyond" html, then
create it in an external editor and add it as an attachment.

P.
Hey makes perfect sense now that I think about it and your calling my attention to what e-mail is and is 
not. Holdover I guess from my windows days when I used word to construct e-mail. Evolution is indeed a good 
program.

Dear All,
 I have just been trying out the MAPI plugin (under Ubuntu 9.04) I can
connect to the exchange server (after temporarily disabling samba),
however I notice that it tries to scan every single public folder in
the public folder structure. My organization has a huge public folder
structure, so it takes for ever (actually I never let it finish). Is
it possible to disable public folder support?


Currently, it is not possible.

I'll fix this ASAP.



Raised a issue http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580682


Have a prelimnary patch available. Has a defect which will be fixed :)

Thanks.

Yes, that should work too. Though rather create a local calendar on both
machines, and then use it for sharing (there will be a new folder in the
directory you gave above, with one ics file, which you want to share).

The only thing is, I think, that the backend keeps all events in memory,
and because it runs in evolution-data-server, then you should close also
that process, and evolution-alarm-notification (probably the best with
evolution --force-shutdown), as any write to the file will overwrite it
fully, with stored information in the memory.

I just recalled, you can also publish your calendar events, it's a
plugin. Its setup is in Edit->Preferences->Calendar and Tasks, tab
Publishing Calendar. Though I'm still not sure whether it'll fit your
needs fully.
       Bye,
       Milan
