GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 241500
Readonly contact in Exchange public folder opened as if writable
Last modified: 2012-02-02 14:39:22 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: In an exchange public folder to which the account has author permissions a contact created by an other exchange account is opened as if you can modify that contact ( delete button is active, can type in any of the fields, etc. ). Only when you go to save you changes do you get an error. The error message is not that helpful either, see bug#241499 Expected Results: Evolution opens contact in read only mode ( cannot type in contact field, etc. ) Additional Information: Machine Configuration ------------------------------------------------------------------ Linux tlee 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux evolution1.3-1.3.2.99.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 ximian-connector1.3-1.3.2.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 libsoup-1.99.17.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 libgtkhtml3.0_1-3.0.2.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 libgal19-0.19.2-4 libgal2.0_2-1.99.3.99.0.200304151545-0.snap.ximian.1 gtkhtml-1.0.4-3 gtkhtml3.0-3.0.2.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 gal-0.19.2-4 evolution1.3-pilot-1.3.2.99.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 pilot-link-0.11.3-3 gnome-pilot-2.0.5.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 gnome-pilot-applet-2.0.5.0.200304170601-0.snap.ximian.1 gnome-mime-data-2.0.0-9 gtk+-1.2.10-22 gtk2-2.0.6-8 bonobo-1.0.21-1.ximian.1 libbonoboui-2.0.1-2
this is another symptom of the general "we don't deal well with weird folder permissions" bug (bug 246532)
Note that the package "evolution-exchange" is deprecated nowadays. Similar functionality is now provided by "evolution-mapi" and "evolution-ews" packages. This bug was reported against a version that is now not supported anymore. Could you please check if the problem that you reported here still happens with a recent version of Evolution (like 3.2 or 3.0) AND with either evolution-mapi or evolution-ews? Thanks in advance!
Closing this bug report as no updated information has been provided. Please reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of Evolution (currently this means: preferably version 3.2.x) and provide the information that was asked for in the previous comment. Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed for the version that you originally used when reporting this problem.
