Andre: Thanks for the reply, I did install the evolution provided by the distro but have trouble getting it to work with suddenlink. I set it for POP
also tried IMAP it prompt for password but does not connect. Thunderbird works. I am running RoboLinux based on Debian in Oracle VM VirtualBox on a Dell Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. Outlook 2007 is running in windows and works fine but I am planning to change to Linux and want to use Evolution email, calendar, task and memo. I am checking everything out before I switch. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Have a great day. James James R. Martin J.

And just for the records, 3.12.4 is the latest stable Evolution version. > extracted it to a folder evolution-3.12.2 and need instructions on how > to install it? If you really want to do this and know what you are doing: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/06/install-from-source/ But if you have never compiled and installed source code tarballs and their dependencies, then this is nothing to recommend. Instead, take the pre-compiled package provided by your distribution and install that one. andre -- Andre Klapper | ak-47 gmx net http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... |
