evolution on ubuntu

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Well I deleted the account, restarted evolution and set it up, now it won’t sync up at all, I keep getting “Error while refreshing folder messages” :(  what a pity I was really liking ubuntu
I think I’ll go cry while using vista.
Hopefully some good exchange connector will come out of the new mozilla mail foundation.  [...]

Ubuntu email saga

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Well I’m pretty much dead in the water now, on one hand I have evolution over OWA connector, which seems to be in worse shape than ever, it crashes all the time, I cannot send a single mail because they all get trapped in the outbox, I can’t refresh the inbox (there are mails in [...]

evolution in ubuntu

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Well I continue to have connection problems.  Everyting else in Ubuntu seems rock solid but the OWA connector for evolution is definitely not up to speed.  I may change to imap for a bit and see if I have better luck with that,  biggest down side is I won’t be able to sync up the [...]

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

The full version has been realeased from Ubuntu today.  I am downloading it as we speak so I can set it up on one of the users currently running 7.10.
I hope this is a very good stable release but from what I have seen on my computer the 8.04 beta was better than the 7.10 [...]

evolution junk mail

Monday, April 14th, 2008

One of my biggest issues today is that junkmail is getting filtered in evolution so that it doesn’t show up in in the inbox.  However these emails are still located on the exchange server.  So they are getting deleted or moved out of the inbox (moved where I don’t know) but they are not getting [...]

Ubuntu Desktop

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Well with updates yesterday Ubuntu managed to break my evolution and flash in firefox :)  However with the updates today everything seems to be fixed and running smooth.  I was forced to run vista yesterday because of all the problems I was having, today is much better and I’m back on linux.  I still need [...]

Evolution Frustrations

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I continue to have more and more frustrations with Evolution’s exchange connector.
It ran really good yesterday and was happy today when I saw updates  today for evolution.  However after installing it seems to work worse than before.  :(  I’ve got alot of things to do today so I’m going to stick with vista until I [...]

Finally got my java working in ubuntu.

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

To refresh, I could always get java installed, however if I installed Sun JRE 1.6 my desktop applications would run, but not my web applets.  If I installed the IceTea version that mozilla wanted it would fix my Webaps and they would work however it would break my desktop applications.
Installed Sun JRE package from Synaptic, [...]

Biggest problem with Linux versus windows.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Is user laziness, and I find myself to be a big culprit.  I find some things so much easier on Linux than windows.  But I find more and more things that are easier on windows than linux, and not because linux is lacking, just that I’ve used windows for many years, and its second nature [...]

evolution missing emails from exchange

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I had a user today who had emails missing from their inbox in evolution (on Ubunutu).  If they went into the exchange owa they could see that they were still all on the server however they were not in their evolution inbox.
to fix this I shutdown the evolution client

evolution –force-shutdown

Then deleted the the .evolution/exchange folder [...]
