[natty] exchange 2010 evolution-mapi - no folders or calendar, contact, tasks

[Michael Flaig]

Binary package hint: evolution-mapi

This applies to current natty. I newly configured a Exchange Account in Evolution but evolution-mapi seems to fail getting the folder list. Furthermore it seems there is no calendar. the global addressbook however is there and works.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/694884 may be related, although it refers to evolution-exchange. evolution-exchange won't work with exchange 2010 imho due to dropped webdav support in owa2010.

[Michael Flaig (mflaig)]

After some searching the Web I get the feeling not many people using evolution-mapi however that may just mean that it used to work right and nobody has had issues :-) Currently all my machines are natty already so I cannot test with maverick ATM. If someone else can please do so - I am very busy next 2 weeks and can not invest much time.

I think this bug should at least be checked before the launch of natty so we can be sure to have no regression here and make users with corporate accounts unhappy - yes? Please help. Thanks a lot.

Confirmed by several people.

[Jeroen Benckhuijsen (jeroen-benckhuijsen)]

Confirming for Maverick (but using: Version: 0.32.0-0ubuntu1~maverick3 from https://launchpad.net/~suraia/+archive/ppa)

[Leon (leonbo)]

I'm wondering if it's broken for everyone or just for a particular configuration? Would be nice if this could be fixed before the release of natty. If it can't be fixed I would suggest to remove it from the repositories. If you install something from the default ubuntu repositories and it's broken, that's a real disappointment.

[Maverick Crank GRey (maverick-crank-grey)]

As I can see this is the clue http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2011-January/msg00299.html
And here is a suggested solution http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2011-January/msg00304.html

[Fabien Poussin (fpoussin)]

Found a workaround:

Seems like the TableFlags_UseUnicode Flag is causing problems.

"apt-get remove evolution-mapi plugin".

Then "apt-src install evolution plugin". (you might need to install apt-src)

patch -p1 < thepatch

./configure ; nice make -j5 ; sudo make install

Fabien,

I'm not sure that I followed your instructions to the letter, and my results
are telling me I have not.

My history is:

225 sudo apt-get install apt-src
226 sudo apt-get remove evolution-mapi
227 sudo apt-src install evolution-mapi
228 cd evolution-mapi-0.32.2/
229 cd src/
230 cd libexchangemapi/
231 sudo vim exchange-mapi-connection.c
>>>At this point I added the: #define HAVE_LIBMAPI_CONTEXT_PARAM, as well as
removing the | TableFlags_UseUnicode from the file.
232 sudo ./configure ; nice make -j5 ; sudo make install

Upon running evolution I receive:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/594509/

Do I need to just copy your patch a file named "thepatch.txt" and apply it
with the patch -p1 < thepatch.txt style you stated instead of editing the
source?

Thanks,

~Steve

I tried to apply the patch but it failed. Fabien, could you upload the patch as a .patch file? Maybe launchpad garbles the indent or line endings or something. Thanks in advance!

[Steven Miano (mianosm)]

I wouldn't mind a working .deb or a ppa to test/try out either if you wanted
to go those/that route.

Thanks!

[Simon (simon-turvey)]

+1 for this bug. I've tried removing the flags to GetHierarchyTable() one at a time and get the same error even with a 0 value.

[ghomem (gustavo)]

Fabien,

Did you test accented folder names with your patched version?

[Fabien Poussin (fpoussin)]

Hi guys,

I'll try to re-patch and post the exact steps I followed. I might have missed something.

@ghomem:
Nope, I'm not using unicode on folder names. I guess it won't work since the unicode flag is gone.

[Fabien Poussin (fpoussin)]

By the way, I hade to remove the original package before patching, compiling and installing the new one.

make sure the old package is gone! (start evolution and ensure that MAPI is not available anymore)
then you can do the patching steps. (use apt-src, don't download the files manually or it won't work)

I had this problem at the beginning.

Thank you very much Maverick Crank Grey, I was able to follow your steps, and apply the patch to the source and achieve much success while attempting to sync my contacts, GAL, e-mail, and Calendar to an exchange 2010 server.

I have some built deb's (amd64 flavor for those that aren't on x86):

[ghomem (gustavo)]

I confirm that this patch works. As far as accented folder names are concerned, after applying the patch:

1- it is NOT possible to CREATE folder with accented names from Evolution
2- it is possible to RETRIEVE folders with accented names that were created vi OWA (web interface)

[Leon (leonbo)]

Steven, you packages work like a charm! Thanks!

[ghomem (gustavo)]

I'm having a lot of problems on meeting requests for multiple participants, acceptance, refusal, status check etc, on Exchange 2010. Is it only me?

[rod singleton (rod40cool)]

Steven, your debs work great for email however, Calendar crashes out about 20% thru trying to sync and I get
"Error on mapi://[myusername]@192.168.110.65/ Failed to fetch changes from a server: QueryRows: MAPI error MAPI_E_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (0x80040fff) occurred",
followed by
"The Evolution calendar has quit unexpectedly."

Also, when I tried to create a new calendar appointment I get:-
"Cannot create a new event
'Calendar' is a read-only calendar and cannot be modified. Please select a different calendar from the side bar in the Calendar view."

To top that off, after a --force-shutdown and restart of Evoloution I now have two calendars called "Calendar" listed under the name of my Exchange 2010 account.

[Jostein (josteinaj)]

When can I expect to get the patched version through the Ubuntu repositories?

[Mike Farmer (mike-farmer)]

I was able to download the to .deb files and install which appears to have allowed my mail to download (it's in progress). My environment is Exchange 2010 (non-SP1) in a clustered CAS configuration.

[Mike Farmer (mike-farmer)]

OK, so after getting all mail to sync I can send/receive mail messages. however, the Global Address List/Calendar/Memo's seems very unstable. I get messages popping-up that say "evolution mapi_e_not_implemented" and then eventually it says that Evolution Memo has quit unexpectedly - your memos will not be available until evolution is restarted.

[Axel H. (staff-pro-unreal)]

I can confirm this issue and the patch solved the bug not being able to connect to the exchange 2010 server.
But I also receive MAPI_E_NOT_IMPLEMENTED errors randomly (Also on e-mail folders)

[Christian Salway (ccsalway)]

Running Exchange 2010 SP1 with all system updates as of today. Exchange servers are running with a Client Access Array.

The email folders sync fine, but the contacts, calendar and tasks don't.

I can create new contact lists but when I try to access any it says Invalid Source
I can add new calendars but can't add events to any calendar. When I try it says Unable to Open Calendar.
I can add task lists to tasks but cant add tasks within any lists. No error message is displayed.

Changes made from Office Outlook running at the same time on another machine, are not reflected in Evolution unless restarted.

So it's good for email but nothing else at the moment. Sorry, I would love to help further but I'm a C# developer :(

Yes, the 64-bit debs fixed some things. I have access to my calendar now, which means it displays all my events.

Same issue here with regular IMAP on a newly fresh install of Natty and only one email account on Evolution

[isprewo (mrzx4-ubuntu)]

The solution from Maverick Crank GRey works with my ubuntu 11.04 only for Mail and Contacts. But the Tasks and the Calender can't be opend e.g. when i want to create a new meeting.
Iḿ a newbee with linux maybe anyone can help me to troubleshoot the problem!

Running Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. My institution migrated to Exchange 2010.
Thanks to Steven Miano (mianosm), your packages work fine. Am able to browse the calendar, addressbook and mail

+1 to nucleuskore. Running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, Exchange 2010 SP1.

Steven Miano (mianosm) 64bit debs solved the problem, however evolution gui was flaky when setting up the MAPI account. Mail is following fine now.

Thanks for the support guys!

I can also confirm that mapi connections are working, authentication works fine, but folder sync etc. are not.

I'll go for the proposed patch and eventually file an update request for natty ...

Thank you for the update.

The dependencies are not right for evolution on oneiric as it seems, because during install dpkg gives the following feedback.
--- snip ---
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 evolution-mapi : Depends: libevolution (< 3.1) but 3.1.5-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
                  Depends: evolution (< 3.1) but 3.1.5-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
--- snap ---

Ignore my comment, the new package hasn't hit my mirror yet. Sorry.

[Evan Derickson (derickson-e)]

I see that this is fixed with Evolution 3.x in Oneiric, but the fix is unlikely to make it to Natty. Is there any way to get evolution-mapi 0.32.2-2, which I believe fixes this specific bug, ported to Natty? That fix is described at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580621 and apparently made it into Fedora.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Hi Evan,

Natty already has 0.32.2.

[Evan Derickson (derickson-e)]

Natty has 0.32.2-1, I believe. The package info says it went into Natty in March. A minor update, 0.32.2-2, was released in May, and I think it was to fix this issue. The author said it was the same fix that went into the 3.x branch, which I personally found to work.
