GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 321705
Should not force to configure a mail account to use the calendar
Last modified: 2006-09-04 11:21:06 UTC
This has been described here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19594 "The gnome calendar is integrated with evolution. Good thing. Now, when I install ubuntu and try to add a event to the calendar, a wizard is launched asking me to tell my email account (!!) I don't have an email account, I use gmail. And anyway - I'm trying to add a calendar event, nothing related at all with email. But it's worse, apparently I can't launch evolution without configuring an email account. It asks me to configure my outgoing email, and I can't get rid of that screen by setting my outgoing email to "sendmail" (which is somewhat weird since ubuntu doesn't install senamdil, maybe it wants to mean "local email server") It also asks me to set my local time configuration, despite of having already set that to "Europe/Madrid" in the install... IOW: I don't think that it should annoy the user at all when adding a calendar event."
hmm... guess i'd like to reopen bug 235022. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 235022 ***
