GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318212
"evolution -c calendar" shouldn't need a configured mailbox
Last modified: 2010-10-29 13:09:25 UTC
When using my fresh account and brand new Gnome desktop I double click on a day in the calendar of Gnome panel's clock applet (which launches an "evolution -c calendar" process in the background), a window is presented where I cannot proceed without setting up a mailbox. I want to use a nice handful calendar utility in gnome panel, I really don't care if it uses evolution in turn or not, but I want to use it only to store some calendar notes. I don't want to send/receive mails with it, I don't have any mailboxes that could be configured here, since I either use webmail or ssh to a remote box and run mutt there with access to local mailbox files. So I believe evolution's calendar should be perfectly usable without the need to specify e-mail settings there. Other information:
this bug report depends on the feature request to use evolution (calendar, tasks, contacts) without configuring an email account. if i remember correctly, this was set to "wontfix", but i cannot find that bug currently.
I feel we should be able to do this for 2.6. Chen: ?
I strongly disagree with this bug severity classification. This bug should be classified with normal or major severity because it is a major loss of functionality (the software refuses to run at all).
