GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 586096
Contact list doesn't work at all
Last modified: 2010-04-22 14:17:23 UTC
Evolution 2.27.3 I tried to create a contact list in mapi account. It got created successfully. But then 1) It didn't auto complete in composer window 2) After restarting the evolution, i don't see any contact in contact list, it's empty. 3) When i checked same contact list in owa, owa showed only 2 contacts in contact list though i had added 4 contacts and all 4 contact are of same domain.
the code doesn't count with contact lists at all. it even doesn't show me emails on a simple contact, seems the mapping is different for the ex 2k7 or something.
This should help a bit, I hope: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313797

I'm on this. I've a basic distribution list reading done, writing lefts. This is for the Contacts, not GAL, though I guess it'll be pretty similar with GAL too.
Created attachment 159179 [details] [review] ema patch for evolution-mapi; This is for master only, as it allows reading of distributions lists only, until a little change to OpenChange will be committed. Let's use bug #610697 for DistList-s for GAL, as the reading there is pretty different.
Created attachment 159180 [details] OpenChange bits, really simple
Created commit 446afb4 in ema master (0.31.1+)
Within commit 82c15ef I also added a PidLidDistributionListChecksum usage here, but it didn't seem to make a difference, I still do not see addresses in the Outlook 2007, but I can see them in OWA itself, when I modify/create a new distribution list. Maybe that version of Outlook strictly uses PidLidDistributionListStream and doesn't fallback to those "old" PidLid-s, when this one is not present. Hard to say.
