Re: [Evolution] Failed to open calendar “Contacts : Birthdays & Anniversaries” Invalid object

[John Murrell <mail JohnMurrell org uk>]

I guess I may have imported my calender from outlook, it was 6 weeks ago and I did the transfer from following some web pages - I think converting to mbox and then importing them if I remember correctly

- it think it was working ok until a few days ago though I am not sure when I tried to add the last entry - most seem to be deleted or cancelled at present couple of days ago. I can still edit existing entries in the calendar. I have cancelled a couple today. However what I can't do is to create a new appointment I get the error message in the title.

As in the original post I have a calendar.ics file and I also have a contacts.db file in /home/john/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system. My contacts seem to be working ok. The only odd thing is they mostly have a Birth date & Anniversary date as 1/1/9999 !! As a result if I edit them I get a message stating 'Birth Date Cannot Be a future date'

Hope this helps

Does it use a server such as Google Calendar or Exchange?

I believe my calender is local - I imported the email messages from MS

Outlook when I dumped Win7 and moved to Linux in February. 

I don't think I told the installation programme about Google Mail or an

Exchange Server. My email is downloaded from a remote mail server but I

don't think that has any calendar facility. 

There is an outside possibility the problem may be related to my

installing the Microsoft Teams Linux version. The problem seems to have

started around the same time I held my initial meeting in MS Teams.

I can't see anything obvious under 'Preferences' or accounts to show

how the calendar is configured. Should I look elsewhere ?

You mean you didn't actually configure a calendar when setting up

Evolution? If that's the case, I don't quite see why you have any

calendar functionality at all, so maybe start there. The online Help

has several relevant entries if you search for 'calendar'.
