Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution-
I'm not totally sure about how this plugin is supposed to work, but to me it seems like it's somewhat broken.
Running Evolution 2.12.0, Ubuntu Gutsy.
In Evolution Mail i choose an email, right click on it, and select "Convert to meeting". This gives me a pop-up with the possibility to choose which calendar I would like to have as destination. I typically select "Personal", and click on "Ok". Then it seems to stop. I would think that the next step would be to have an "new event" pop-up, to give me the possibility to fill in date, time, etc. However I'm not sure if this is the way it is supposed to work. At least no new event/meeting is created in my Personal calendar, so it seems that this plugin is broken.
Not a very critical bug, but I've long waited for this kind of functionality. "Convert to task" works fine, but it would be nice to be able to create events from mails as well. (Or be able to attach mail from my IMAP folders to events I create.)
