The longer the keys, the more difficult it is to - break the encryption. - - - - - - - - Regular Expression: - - - A regular expression, or "regex", is a way of describing a - string of text using metacharacters or wild-card symbols. For - example, the statement fly.*so[au]p means - "any phrase beginning with 'fly' and ending in 'soup' or - 'soap'". If you searched for that expression, you'd find both - "fly in my soup" and "fly in my soap."

You - can share addresses with vCards and calendar items with - iCal appointments. - - - - - - - - Can I use Evolution with KDE? - - - - - Evolution will work fine in KDE. You will need to - install all of the GNOME libraries that it depends on. - Also, certain configuration options, such as default - fonts and the message editor keybinding behavior, must be - changed using the GNOME Control Center application (this - will also run from within KDE). - - - - - - - - How can I remove or rename a folder? - - - - - Right-click on the folder and select the - Delete or - Rename items. - - - - - - - - Why doesn't drag and drop between folders seem to work? - - - - - The implementation isn't finished, although it's nearly done. - - - - In the meantime, right-click on the folders or messages - you want to move, and select the - Move or - Copy options. - - - - - - - - Can I read mail from a mailbox file created by some other - application (e.g. Mutt) without importing mail from it? - - - - - No, but it's a planned feature. - - - - - - - - Can Evolution sync with my Palm OS (tm) device? - - - - - Yes. However, it is not yet stable enough for general - release and we do not yet ship Evolution with Palm - synchronization enabled default. Until we do, you will - need to compile this in yourself. Check the - README file for additional - information on the requirements. Full compatibility and - synchronization for calendar and addressbook applications - on Palm devices will be implemented and shipped soon. - - - - - - - What is the difference between a virtual folder (vfolder) - and a regular folder? - - - - - A virtual folder is like a saved search: it is a view of - your mail. Regular folders actually contain the mail - messages. You can have one message be in multiple virtual - folders, but only in one regular folder. See the section - in the Evolution manual about virtual folders for more - information. - - - - - - - Can Evolution spell-check messages while I compose them? - - - - - Yes. The Evolution composer is able to highlight - mis-spelled word on the fly as you type them, and also - give you suggestions for possible corrections. In order - for this to work you need the - gnome-spell component, which is not - shipped with Ximian GNOME yet. - - - - If you are brave enough, you can check out module - gnome-spell from the GNOME CVS and - compile it yourself. Check out its README file for a list - of gnome-spell's requirements for - compilation. - - - - Note that you don't need to recompile Evolution after - installing gnome-spell; it will be - picked up automatically. - - - - - - - - Why can't I see the images that are contained in some HTML - mail messages. - - - - - Evolution currently doesn't support this, but it's a - planned feature. It will be an option: many people like - to turn off the images because they use up bandwidth and can - be used to spy on your email reading habits. - - - - - - - - Can I change the font that Evolution uses to compose and - display mail messages? - - - - - You have to change the GtkHTML settings for that: in the - GNOME Control Center, go to the "HTML Viewer" - configuration page, which is under the "Document Handlers" - category. - - - - - - - How do I import my Outlook .pst files into Evolution? - - - - - You cannot import these files directly into Evolution - because the .pst format is a - proprietary format. However, Mozilla Mail on Windows can - convert them into the mbox format, which can - then be imported by Evolution. - - - - To start importing your Outlook mail to Evolution, run - Mozilla Mail on Windows and select the - FileImport... - to begin. Then select that you wish to import Mail from - Outlook. Once Mozilla has imported all your mail, reboot - your computer into Linux. - - - - Mount your Windows partition in Linux and run Evolution to - begin importing your mail. Select - FileImport - File... to start importing. Set - the file type to MBox (mbox) and click on - Browse to select the mail you want - to import. - - - - If you are the only user on Windows, the mail files will - be stored in /mnt/c/windows/Application - Data/Mozilla/Profiles/default/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/ - where /mnt/c/ is your windows - partition mount point and XXXX is some collection of - numbers and digits ending in .slt. - - - - If there is more than one user, the file will be in - /mnt/c/windows/Profiles/USERNAME/XXXX/Mail/imported.mail/ - where USERNAME is your Windows username. - - - - For each mail folder in Outlook, Mozilla will convert the - folder into one mbox file. To import all your mail, import - all the files without a .msf - extension. - - - - - - - - If Mozilla can import .pst files, why can't Evolution? - - - - - Mozilla on Windows accesses the .pst - files through the MAPI.DLL, which is - only available on Windows. MAPI.DLL - is the only way to access .pst files - and Evolution cannot use this DLL in Linux. - - - - - - - Will there be an Evolution server? How about a text-based or web-based front end? - - - - - Of course, we can't comment on unannounced future product - plans, but Evolution's architecture would permit the - existence of that kind of software. If there is enough - demand for such software we will consider moving in that - direction. - - - - - - - - Will Evolution make a good mocha? - - - - - Only espresso is planned, but you can easily plug in a chocolate component. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Getting and Compiling Evolution - - - - - - Where can I get the latest Evolution release? - - - - - There are two ways to install the latest Evolution - release: - - - - If you have Ximian GNOME installed, you can start - Red Carpet, Ximian's software updating system, and - subscribe to the Evolution channel. This will let - you install a binary for the latest release, and - will also warn you when a new version has been made - available. - - - - - - If you want to compile from source, you can - download the latest official Evolution tarball - from: - - - - - ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/evolution - - - - - - - - - - Are binary snapshots available? - - - - - Yes, if you have Ximian GNOME installed. Just run Red - Carpet and subscribe to the Evolution Snapshot channel. - - - - You can check the status of snapshots at - http://primates.ximian.com/~snapshot. - - - - - - - Why isn't a new snapshot available today? - - - - - Sometimes the build might fail because of problems with - the source on CVS. In this case, just wait for next day's - snapshot. - - - - - - - How do I get Evolution from CVS? - - - - - If you already have - GNOME CVS access, - simply check out the following modules: evolution, - gtkhtml, gal. - - - If you don't have a CVS account, you can use anoncvs - instead. Bear in mind that anoncvs is only synchronized once - a day, and code received from anoncvs may not be latest - version available. - - - - Before using the anoncvs server, you have to log into it. - This only needs to be done once. Use this command: - - - - cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login - - - - Then you can retrieve the modules needed to compile Evolution - using the following command: - - - - cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome co evolution gtkhtml gal - - - - - - - - How should I compile Evolution avoiding conflicts with my - existing GNOME installation? - - - - - The best way is to install Evolution into a separate prefix. - In order to specify a non-default installation prefix, you - can pass the --prefix option to - configure or - autogen.sh. For example: - - - - cd /cvs/evolution - ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome - - - - If you install Evolution and the Evolution libraries in a - non-standard prefix, make sure you set the appropriate - environment variables in the startup script for Evolution: - - - - export PATH=/opt/gnome:$PATH - export GNOME_PATH=/opt/gnome:/usr - - - - You may also need to add $prefix/lib - (e.g. /opt/gnome/lib) to your - /etc/ld.so.conf.

How can I make it keep focus? - - - - - This is a bug in GTK version 1.2.10. To avoid it, downgrade - to GTK version 1.2.9, or install the Ximian version of GTK - 1.2.10. - - - - - - - - I updated Evolution and now my addressbook information is gone! - What should I do? - - - - - Evolution uses the libdb library to - handle the addressbook database. Two versions of - libdb can be used with Evolution: version - 1.88 and version 2. - - - - Unfortunately, an Evolution executable that is linked against - a certain version of libdb will only be - able to read addressbook files written by another Evolution - executable that is linked with the same version of the - library. If your addressbook is not readable by Evolution - anymore, it probably means that you used to have Evolution - linked with a certain version of libdb, - but now it gets linked to a different version. - - - - Because of the way libdb is designed, it - is not easy for Evolution to automatically do the conversion - between the two formats. But, if your Evolution used to be - linked against version 1.85 and now is linked to version 2, - there is a very simple way to convert the database and recover - your data. - - - - - - - First of all, check the format of the database using the - file command: - - - - file ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db - - - - You want version 1.85 there. If your version is 2, then - your current Evolution is probably linked against - version 1.85 and you cannot convert the database to the - old format. To do that, follow these instructions: - - - - - - Quit Evolution. - - - - - - Make a copy of the addressbook database for backup - purposes, then move the original out of the way. - - - - cd ~/evolution/local/Contacts - cp addressbook.db addressbook.db.backup - mv addressbook.db addressbook.db.tmp - - - - - - Convert the contacts to the new format using - db_dump185 and - db_load: - - - - db_dump185 addressbook.db.tmp | db_load ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db - - - - - - Restart Evolution. - - - - - - - - - - - Evolution reported an error when trying to retrieve from my - local spool in /var/spool/mail/username. Why? - - - - - Evolution doesn't have an external helper for moving mail, - so /var/spool/mail/ must be writable - by you. Try this: - - - - chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail - - - - We're working on a solution to this problem now. - - - - - - - - Evolution crashes reporting that it couldn't allocate N - billion bytes; how do I fix this? - - - - - This usually happens when a component tries talking a - certain version of a CORBA interface to another component - that supports a different version. For example, this can - happen when you recompile and install a single component - without recompiling/installing the rest of Evolution. - - - - If you run into this problem, make sure all the components - are compiled and installed at the same time. This also - applies to GtkHTML upgrades; after upgrading and - installing a newer GtkHTML, always re-compile and - re-install Evolution against it. - - - - - - - - What is killev and why do I need to use it? - - - - - Evolution is actually made up of several components that run - as separate processes. Evolution's shell is not very good - at cleaning up stale processes, so it is possible that - sometimes already-running components cause unexpected and/or - broken behavior. - - - - It's always a good idea to run killev - after a crash in Evolution, especially if the Evolution - shell itself crashed. (If a component crashes instead, you - should try to exit the shell cleanly first, so you give a - chance to the other components to clean things up properly.) - - - - - - - - What is oaf-slay and why do I need to use it? - - - - - oaf-slay is an utility which comes with - OAF, the Object Activation Framework that is used in the - GNOME Desktop to activate components. It will kill the - object activation daemon (oafd) as well - as all the active components on the system. - - - - Using oaf-slay - oaf-slay is quite drastic and can cause - problems with other programs that use oaf, especially with - Nautilus. To avoid problems, do - not run oaf-slay while you are in GNOME. - - - - - - - - Questions about Bugs and Debugging - - Find a bug? Here's how to help us fix it! - - - - - - - Where should I report bugs for Evolution? - - - - - You can use the GNOME Bug Report Tool - (bug-buddy), or report bugs to the - Ximian bug reporting system (Bugzilla), located at http://bugzilla.ximian.com. - - - - Please use the query function to check if a bug has been - submitted already, so that we avoid duplicate reports. - - - - - - - - - What is a stack trace (backtrace) and how do I get one? - - - - - A stack trace is a list of the chain of function calls - that lead to some point in the program. Typically, you - want to get a stack trace when Evolution crashes or - hangs and you want to try to figure out where in the - code that happened and why. For this reason, stack - traces are extremely useful for the Evolution - developers, so it's important that you learn how to get - them, and include them in crash reports. The - bug-buddy tool can get and - submit a stack trace for you. If you want to do it by - yourself, here's how: - - - First of all, in order to get a stack trace, your - executable (and possibly the libraries) must be compiled - with debugging symbols. Debugging symbols are created by - default if you compile from CVS, and are included in the - snapshot builds. If you decide to compile by yourself - with some custom CFLAGS value, make sure -g is included - in them. - - - Finally, you must put the component that crashes through - gdb, the GNU debugging tool. - To do so, make sure all the components are dead (exit - Evolution and run killev), then run the - following command: - - gdb name-of-component - - - Where "name-of-component" is the name of the component that - crashed. - - - Then, at the gdb prompt, type r (for "run") and wait a - few seconds to make sure the component has registered - with the name service. Then start - Evolution normally from a - different terminal. - - - When you have started - Evolution, reproduce the - crash, and go back to the terminal where you ran gdb. If - the component crashed, you should have a prompt there; - otherwise, just hit Control+C. At the prompt, type - info threads. This will give you a - screen that looks like this: - - - -(gdb) info threads - 8 Thread 6151 (LWP 14908) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 7 Thread 5126 (LWP 14907) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 6 Thread 4101 (LWP 1007) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 5 Thread 3076 (LWP 1006) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 4 Thread 2051 (LWP 1005) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 3 Thread 1026 (LWP 1004) 0x409778fe in sigsuspend () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 2 Thread 2049 (LWP 1003) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - 1 Thread 1024 (LWP 995) 0x40a10d90 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6 - - - For the most part, only - evolution-mail will have more - than one thread. - - - Now, for each of the threads listed, type the following commands: - -thread N -bt - - Where 'N' is the number of the thread (in this example, 1 - through 8). - - - Cut and paste all the output gdb gives you into a text - file.

You can enter other - information later with the appointment editor. - - - - - Your appointment must have a starting and ending date — by - default, today — but you can choose whether to give it - starting and ending times or to mark it as an All - day event. An All day event - appears at the top of a day's appointment list, in the grey header under the date, rather than inside - it. That makes it easy to have appointments that overlap and fit - inside each other. For example, a conference might be an all - day appointment, and the meetings at the conference would be timed - appointments. Of course, appointments with specific starting and ending - times can also overlap. When they do they're displayed as - multiple columns in the day view of the calendar. - - - Evolution supports the use of - timezones. If you share calendar files with friends or - co-workers, it is quite possible you will need to configure - your timezone.

Click a dot and click OK to select your time zone. - - - - - - You can also configure timezone information specific to the - Start and End time in each appointment.

There are eighteen different people with that name - in the file. He then enters "Sales," and - Evolution narrows it down to the - right Curtis.

You can have folders and searches the same way you can - with mail, but the addressbook does not allow Virtual Folders. It - does, however, allow each card to fall under several - categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To - learn about categories, read . - - - - - - Groups of contacts - - Evolution offers two ways for you - to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; - this works the same way mail folders do. For more - flexibility, you can also mark contacts as elements of - different categories. To better integrate with email tools, - you can also create lists of contacts that you can send mail - to as a single person. - - - - Grouping with Folders - - The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. - By default, cards start in the - Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you - can create a new folder by selecting - - File - New - Folder - - and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just - like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card - can be in two places at once. If you want more - flexibility, try . - - - To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the - folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in - contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, - and calendars in calendar folders. - - - - - Grouping with Categories - - The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging - to different categories. - That means that you - can mark a card as being in several categories or no - category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's - card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, - the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and - the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time - and can never remember his phone number. - - - To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the - Categories button at the lower - right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as - many or as few categories as you like. - - - - - - - - Creating a List of Contacts - - To create a list of contacts: - - - - - Open the list creation dialog box by clicking the - New List button or selecting - - - File - - - New - - - Contact List - - . - - - - - - Enter a name for the list. - - - - - Enter names or email addresses of contacts, or just - drag contacts from the main window into the list. - - - - - - Choose whether you would like to hide the email - addresses when you send a message to the list. - Unless it is a very small list, it is recommended - that you leave the addresses hidden. This is the - same thing as using the "Bcc:" feature discussed in - . - - - - - - - When you are done, click OK. The - list will appear as a contact card, which you can use as - you would any other. That includes emailing the list to - another person, and, of course, sending email to the list. - - - To mail the list, open a new email and type the name you - chose for the list. Ximian Evolution will address the - message to the entire list when you send it. You can also - right-click on the list's address card in the Addressbook - and select Send Message to List. - - - - - - - - - - Sharing your Cards - - The LDAP protocol was - created to let users share contact information over a network. - LDAP allows for users to browse other people's addressbooks, or - maintain a shared set of contact information for a company or - department. This feature comes in handy if you are in a group - where there are lots of people using the same contacts. Such an - example would be the sales department of a company with their - client list. - - - - Sharing Address Cards and Calendar Data - - Rich wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he - checks the network for the Company X address card so he - knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares - calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has - already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday. - He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to - discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids - scheduling an extra meeting with Company X. - - - - - Of course, you don't want to share all of your cards— why - overload the network with a list of babysitters or tell - everyone in the office you're talking to new job prospects? If - you keep cards on your own computer, you can decide which items - you want to make accessible to others. - - - To learn how to add a remote directory to your available - contact folders, see . - Once you have a LDAP connection, the network contacts folder or - folders will appear inside the External - Directories folder in the folder bar. It will work - exactly like a local folder of cards, with the following - exceptions: - - - - - Network folders are only available when you are - connected to the network. If you use a laptop or have a - modem connection, you may wish to copy or cache the - network directory. You do this by dragging and dropping - your desired contacts into the local contacts list. - - - - - - To prevent excess network traffic, - Evolution will not normally - load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon - opening. You must click Display - All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded - from the network. You can change this behavior in the - Contact Preferences window. - - - - - Your ability to view, change, add, and delete contacts - depends on the settings of the LDAP server. - - - - - - Configuring Evolution to use LDAP - - For information about setting up - Evolution to use LDAP, please refer - to - - - - - - Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly - - As noted before, when you get information about a person in - the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address - card.

If you're not sure - about any of the information you need, just ask your system - administrator. - - - - Identity - - Enter your name and email address. If you wish, - you may add your organization and the location of your - signature file.

This may allow you to - connect to the server from outside your - firewall. - - - - - If you would like - Evolution to - remember your password, check the box labelled - Remember this password. - - - - - - - - - Receiving Mail, Step Two - - There are a few additional options in this step: - - - - Checking for New Mail: If you would like to - check for new mail automatically, click the - checkbox and enter an interval in minutes. - - - - - Exchange Server: If your Exchange mailbox name - is different from your Windows name, enter your - mailbox name here. - - - - - Active Directory: If you would like to use the - Global Address List (GAL), check the box - labelled Create a Global Address - List folder and enter the name - of the directory server. To avoid strain - on the server, the maximum number of - responses to any Active Directory query has - been set to 500. If you would like to - change that, you may do so here as well. - - - - - - - - - Sending Mail - - Select Microsoft Exchange as - your email sending method. There is nothing else to do - in this step. - - - - - Account Management - - Enter a name that you will use to remember this - account. "Exchange Account" is a good suggestion. Note - that you cannot have two accounts with the same name. - If you'd like to make this your default account for - sending email, check the Make this my default - account box. - - - - - You're done.

You'll want - to change settings in the following tabs of the account - dialog: - - - - Identity - - - If your email address will change because you are moving - to a new server, then change it in this tab. Otherwise, - move to the next tab. - - - - - Receiving Mail - - - Select Microsoft Exchange as your - server type.

Check with your system - administrator to be sure. - - - - - Active Directory - - - If you would like to use the Global Address - List (GAL) maintained on your Exchange server, - click the tab labelled Receiving - Options and check the box labelled - Create a Global Address List - folder. The GAL is maintained by - your system administrator and you cannot add, - change, or remove items from it using Ximian - Evolution. However, you can use it to invite - people to meetings and to look up addresses and - other information. In many organizations, the - GAL is stored on a different server from email. - If this is the case, you should also specify - the directory server name here. - - - - - - - - - Sending Mail - - - If you will use your Exchange server to send as well as - receive mail, select Microsoft - Exchange as your server type, and enter the - server name as the Host. - - - - - - - Once you have made those changes, click the - OK button. - - - Then, quit Evolution and start it - up again. Changes to the Ximian Connector accounts - configuration are not active until you have restarted the - application. - - - - - - - Accessing the <application>Exchange</application>Server - - Like IMAP and LDAP data, information for - Exchangeaccounts is stored on the - server, not on your desktop computer. This means that you can - access it from multiple locations. It also means that your - Microsoft Exchangeaccount information - is in a seperate folder tree from the Local - tree in your folder bar. You'll see it below the local tree, - with the name you gave the account. If you have multiple - accounts, you will have multiple folder trees. - - - Click on any of the folder tree items to visit them; you may - have to enter your server password. You can now create contact - cards, send and receive email as you would normally. If there - are items in your local calendar or addressbook that you'd like - to add to your Exchangestores, you - can copy and paste them over, or just drag items from one folder - to another as you would with two local stores. - - - - Saving Attached Addresses and Appointments - - If you are using both an Exchange account and a local mail - account, you should be aware that whenever you save an email - address or appointment from an email message, it will be - saved in your Exchange contacts list or calendar, rather - than in your local account. The same is true of - synchronization with Palm-OS devices: tasks, appointments, - and addresses from your Palm-OS device will be synchronized - with those in the Exchange folders rather than local - folders. - - - - - The Global Address List Is Empty At First - - To avoid unnecessary strain on the server, the GAL will - appear empty until you have searched for something in it. - If you want to display all the cards in the list, click in - the search box and press Enter. This - enters a blank search: since every card contains a blank in - it, every card will appear. - - - - - Taking Full Advantage of the Exchange Server When Scheduling Appointments - - When you schedule a meeting with your calendar on the - Exchangeserver, you can check when - other local Exchange users are busy according to their - Exchangecalendars. To do so: - -
- Scheduling With Free/Busy Information - - Using the Free/Busy Feature - - - - -
- - - - - Open a new appointment in the calendar. - - - - Choose Actions - Schedule Meeting - in the meeting editor window. - - - - Add attendees, either by entering their email - addresses into the list, or by clicking the - Invite Others button. If you choose - to so, it's best to use the Global Address List (GAL). - Choose the GAL from the drop-down list of address sources - at the top of the dialog box. - - - - - Choose Options and then - Update Free/Busy to check participant - schedules and, if possible, update the meeting in all - participants' calendars. - - - - - Using Autopick to Adjust Meeting Times - - If meeting attendees are not available during the times you - have scheduled a meeting, you can "nudge" the meeting forward - or backward to the nearest available time. To do so, just - click the arrows to the left or right of the - Autopick button. The autopick tool will - move the meeting to the nearest time during which all - attendees are available.
