evolution crashes when both him and the mail notification plugin run

[Alassane]

Binary package hint: evolution

open evolution, open mail-notification. when mail notification tries to see if there is new mail. it crashes evolution after 2-3 seconds.
certainly the bug is caused by the plugin.

Mail-notification 5.4.dfsg.1-1ubuntu1 fixed an evolution crash. Could you test with this version (available in Jaunty)? This is possibly a duplicate of bug 251031. Thanks in advance.

[Alassane (alassane-maiga)]

Is it secure to do that if I'm running ubuntu 8.10 ? if so I can compile the source from launchpad right ?

[Hew (hew)]

I'm not sure what you mean by secure. It is not a supported configuration, but it should be fine for testing purposes and you can downgrade to the Intrepid version later if you wish. It would be ideal if you could test with Jaunty itself, but it's understandable if you cannot. The binary package/s are really what we want to test, not compiling from source.

You should be able to test the Jaunty version of mail-notification in Intrepid by manually installing the debs [1][2], or by using the PPA as noted in bug 251031 [3]. I have nominated the bug for Intrepid SRU. If this bug is the same issue then we can mark this as a duplicate, but if it is not we need to investigate further. Thanks again.

Okay I will just install jaunty. I will come back to you eventually

I've been using it for one week now with jaunty, it seems it is stable now
