GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314826
[PATCH] Inbox goes down in the hierarcy if start evolution in offline
Last modified: 2013-07-23 14:32:54 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1.Start evolution in offline 2.Ignore the error message if any. Observe that Inbox goes down in the folder hierarchy instead of staying on top. And also the icon of the Inbox changes to normal folder icon.
This is happening with the devel snaps dated, evolution-data-server-1.4.0.0.200508300318-0.snap.novell.11.1 evolution-2.4.0.0.200508300318-0.snap.novell.11.1 evolution-exchange-2.4.0.0.200508300318-0.snap.novell.11.1
Needs a proper re-design of the EFolder where we can set special properties. In this case, the folder should be flagged as Inbox when it is created.
Created attachment 66274 [details] [review] Fix
For folders, we can set special flags like Inbox, System etc.
"Inbox" need not be Inbox in all the locales. So string comparison won't work. Plese make use of the folder property/flag etc. to figure out it is Inbox.
Bumping version to a stable release.
The "evolution-exchange" package only supports Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers. Newer versions such as Exchange 2007 and 2010 are not supported by "evolution-exchange". It is required to use the package "evolution-ews" (or to some extend "evolution-mapi") for newer version fo Exchange servers. If the problem/request described in this report still happens with a recent version of "evolution-ews" or "evolution-mapi", please add a comment to this report (and update the "product" setting accordingly if possible). There are currently no plans to continue the development of the package "evolution-exchange", so this report will soon be closed as WONTFIX. Thanks for your understanding and sorry that the reported problem was not solved in time in the package "evolution-exchange".
evolution-exchange only supports the older Microsoft Exchange server versions 2000 and 2003. The last stable release of evolution-exchange was 3.4.4 which took place a year ago. evolution-exchange is now deprecated and not under active development anymore. It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. Also feel free to reopen this ticket and change the "Product" field accordingly if the reported issue still happens with a recent version (newer than version 3.6) of one of those Exchange backends that are still supported. Please see https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.8/exchange-connectors-overview.html for more information on available backends.
