Contact list is being stored, viewed as a contact.
Last modified: 2004-07-16 13:32:59 UTC
Description of Problem: I created one contact list on the exchange address book. When I restarted the evolution it is showing that list as contact instead of contactlist. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start evolution. Go to contacts. Create one new contact list on exchange addressbook and save it. 2. Click on the contact list. It will show you the contact list properly. 3. Close the evolution and view this contact list it will be shown as contact. Actual Results: It will be shown as contact and when you open it it will show the details in contact editor view, not in contactlist editor view. Expected Results: It should show the contact list when you open it wilth contact list editor. How often does this happen? Everytime Additional Information: It wont happen with other address books which will be on the local computer.
We don't support contact lists in connector, so the right fix here is to make it not possible to add one
I checked this bug with the latest build dated 11 may 2004 and it is not giving any option to create contact list on the exchange account address book. I am marking this bug as resolved.
Contact list is still stored as contact. Guess this was never resolved. Re-opening it again
Created attachment 43876 [details] [review] patch for disabling contact list creation option for exchange user.
Added a static capability to disable this option. Attached the patch to handle this while popping up the menu.
Sushma, what's the status on this?
I didn't send this patch to the list. But this is now handled, in a way that every backend supporting this needs to set "contact-lists" capability. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 256520 ***
