GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 262438
make operations cancellable
Last modified: 2013-07-23 14:30:03 UTC
Connector operations need to be cancellable. This means using E2kOperation correctly everywhere (ebrowse has examples) instead of just passing NULL. e-book-backend-exchange.c already has some support; the "ops" hashtable. stop_book_view and cancel_operation are already there, they just don't work because none of the calls actually create an E2kOperation and stick it in the ops hash table. e-book-backend-gal.c and the calendar stuff currently has no support, but it would work similarly to e-b-b-e. The mailer needs a lot more work to be cancellable, since there's currently no way for the camel part to tell the backend to cancel something.

I guess it is similar to some of the work-done by Varadhan
Not sure which fix you are speaking about, but the bug is about enabling cancelling operations by pressing "X" mark icon. Fejj and Partha have fixed this in IMAP and GroupWise providers.

last dup in 2.23.x
is this obsolete by evolution-mapi?
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.
