Evolution Mail: evolution-exchange does ...
Last modified: 2010-03-08 11:55:09 UTC
evolution-exchange does not work any more. *) athenticate the server in Edit -> Preferences -> Receiving Email works. *) But the folders at the exchange server do not show up. If I press Send / Receive a window pops up with the message: "Error while Sending message. Could not connect to Evolution backend process: Please restart Evolution." whereas at the bottom of evolution window I get the message: Reconnecting to exchante server ... (100% complete) Starting "E2K_DEBUG=5 evolution >& evo.log" gives the following: "(evolution:8211): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Exchange_Component:2.28': Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' ** (evolution:8211): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution --component=mail %s ** (evolution:8211): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution (evolution:8211): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_ascii_strcasecmp: assertion `s1 != NULL' failed Making error" Distribution: Debian squeeze/sid Gnome Release: 2.28.0 2009-11-21 (Debian) BugBuddy Version: 2.28.0
Please provide the file evo.log instead from that debug session.
Created attachment 149922 [details] The file evo.log from "E2K_DEBUG=5 evolution >& evo.log"
From the logs the evolution-exchange-storage process fails to start up. Try starting it in a separate terminal and getting those logs. [1] explains how to do it for Exchange connector. [1] http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml
Created attachment 149986 [details] file from env E2K_DEBUG=4 /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/evolution-exchange-storage >& /tmp/exchange.out'' I only get an error message: " /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/evolution-exchange-storage: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/evolution-exchange-storage: undefined symbol: e_data_cal_factory_new " (see file exchange.out) Erwin
Then your exchange build is not able to find the right version of EDS which has this API and it crashes. Set the paths to pick up the right version of EDS.
Did you try to build evolution and evolution-exchange with correct version of evolution-data-server ?
(In reply to comment #6) > Did you try to build evolution and evolution-exchange with correct version of > evolution-data-server ? I decided to install Debian from scratch. Now the problem is gone, thanks for your help!
