Hi,
that's true, the flag checking can be completely skipped and the
calendar can (pretend) to be always writable, only an error will be
shown when the PUT will be requested for otherwise read-only
CalDAV/WebDAV sources.
I do not have any problem with this approach, it gives a bit more
freedom too, with respect of different privileges on different
collections, it only seemed a bit convenient to know beforehand that
the calendar cannot be used for writing.
Bye,
Milan

Hi,
one of my coworkers found some steps to make the smart-card reader
work. Even though it is for an ancient system and evolution, it may be
still relevant in some parts. I cannot test it, I do not have a smart
card, but it worked for him.
Citation follows:
1) evolution now uses standard combo of system sql:/etc/pki/nssdb and
user sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb databases
2) evolution runs as regular user but nss tools (modutil, nss-gui)
remove read access from /etc/pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt. The net result is
that evolution is unaware of the module unless the permissions are back
to 0644 or the module is added to user's database as well
3) evolution only reads certificates upon it's start so you have to
restart evo after you plug the card in
So the steps for coolkey-based cards are:
1) (as root) add coolkey module to your nssdb:
# modutil -dbdir sql:/etc/pki/nssdb -add "CoolKey PKCS#11 Module"
-libfile /usr/lib64/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so
2) (as root) fix the file permissions again:
# chmod 0644 /etc/pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt
3) plug in the reader & card if you haven't done so yet
4) restart evolution
5) go to Preferences - Certificates and you should see the certificates
that reside on the smartcard
Bye,
Milan

Of course. So there are (a) rolling releases or (b) distributions

Anyway, either Fedora or openSUSE on a desktop should provide a
reasonably current installation of GNOME and/or Evolution.
Just a fyi Debian is also a good choice. Stable is released every 2-3
years and testing is a rolling release which includes Evolution 3.16.3

That sometimes makes the error go away for a bit, sometimes not.

I update my systems every day. It takes about 5 minutes for each one
which is not a "high price" when I consider that all of them are
running the most recent version.
The upgrade from Fedora 21 to Fedora 22 did run about 2 hours over the
network. It's worth to invest this time !

Dear Patrick,
My main frustration with Evolution is that there is no "command line" to
work from.
It's all from the GUI, which is fine ...when everything works....i.e. in
practice...never....
If I wanted everything to "work" from the GUI...I'd use windows
millenium or something
In this case, if you can give me some instructions on how I can diagnose
what is going wrong when I loose mail, then I'd be happy to run some
tests.
All the software I run on the client side is "Standard" for Mint
Cinnamom.
All the server software is set up using "ISPCONFIG" from the
"HowToForge" website:
www.howtoforge.com
If I knew more about how the mail is being downloaded and if I could see
what is happening during the download process when it is interrupted,
then I'm sure i could find out what is going wrong.

I'm surprised Evo is losing email. That should never happen. However if
you are using POP (you don't say anything about your setup) you might
consider switching to IMAP and keeping your mail on the server.

Evolution is a GUI mail client. It's part of Gnome, which is a GUI
desktop environment. But it still has a "command line".
....i.e. in
practice...never....
That's not the experience of most people. If it didn't work, people
wouldn't use it - but it's frustrating that people think it doesn't
work when they use old unmaintained versions.
In this case, if you can give me some instructions on how I can diagnose
what is going wrong when I loose mail, then I'd be happy to run some
tests.
Help -> Contents has a section on debugging things.
You could also look at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging
All these things require Evolution to be started from the command line!
Virtually all the help that is given here and on the web starts with
"run evolution from the command line to see if there are any problems".
If that doesn't show up any issues, turn on some of the debugging. You
still haven't said anything about your setup - like if you are using
POP or IMAP - but I presume you are using POP, in that case you need to
run Evolution as
CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3 evolution >& logfile
from that you will be able to see if anything fails.
All the software I run on the client side is "Standard" for Mint
Cinnamom.
That means nothing to most people.
All the server software is set up using "ISPCONFIG" from the
"HowToForge" website:
www.howtoforge.com
What server software? Are you running your own mail server?
If I knew more about how the mail is being downloaded and if I could see
what is happening during the download process when it is interrupted,
then I'm sure i could find out what is going wrong.
Run Evolution in debug mode. You'll get considerably more information
about what's going on than you could possibly need.
Can I also say that finding out how to do this is not difficult. Google
for "debug evolution" comes up with the above website as the first hit.
