So, I tested Evolution in a clean installation and it (so far) works normally. If I import a backup of my old Evolution settings and folders, it breaks again. It seems that there is some incompatibility between the data from Evo in Gutsy and Hardy which is the root of this problem. Can you confirm this in your installation? I just did a fresh install of Hardy onto a Virtual Machine to test it out.
Based on what I found in that testing, I was able to figure out a work- around in my current install: -Close Evolution -Tar up any local mail you have (tar -czvf local_mail.tar.gz ~/.evolution/mail/local) so it can be restored. -Move the .evolution directory to .evolution.old (or whatever you like, or delete it if you are brave) -Move or delete the "Evolution" file in ~/.gnome2_private (this may not be strictly necessary, but I did it) -Start Evolution. It should retain your account settings and address book and successfully connect to Exchange, showing new messages. -There may be some messages that are still "lost", usually ones that came in while using the new version of Evo. Ones that show up in OWA as read, but you never saw in Evo. The best way I've found to get those messages is to move them to Trash (or some other folder) in OWA and then they should appear in that folder in the Evo view. From there they can be drug back to your inbox from within Evo. I've been using Evo for about an hour after doing this and things seem normal... Clearly not a "fix", but it at least allows me to carry on with my real work. I still think that there is something in the older files that the newer Evo (maybe the exchange connector itself) is not understanding correctly. Perhaps it is in the files that Evo uses to cache the exchange folders locally? -- Evolution Exchange unreliability in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215614 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
