Description André Klapper 2008-10-11 17:18:30 UTC 
The manual misses a hint that
1) evolution-exchange must be installed and
2) the "Exchange Operations" (what a $%#@! name) plugin must be enabled and Evo must be restarted

to be able to add an Exchange account.
This leads to bug reports like bug 555864.


I just tried to reproduce on F9 and I ran into exactly the same issue when just following the user docs.
Comment 1 Akhil Laddha 2008-11-24 03:17:01 UTC 
In my view, bug is obsolete now as we have removed some of the plugins from UI so by default, they will be enabled and exchange plugin is also among them.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-11-24 10:40:29 UTC 
What does that exactly mean? I don't have e-e installed but the plugin will be loaded and waste my memory, or is it a bit more intelligent? ;-)
Comment 3 André Klapper 2009-01-03 22:59:56 UTC 
Akhil: Can you please answer my last question?
Comment 4 Akhil Laddha 2009-01-05 04:17:42 UTC 
Exchange plugin will be enabled in plugin list but it doesn't mean that exchange rpms will be installed by default, it's intelligent enough so no chance of wasting your memory.

Andre, shall we close the bug ?
Comment 7 André Klapper 2011-08-24 13:37:21 UTC 
I am closing this as OBSOLETE we killed the traditional user manual in favor of a topic-based, Mallard formatted one in Evolution version 3.1.5/3.1.90.
