After adding the evolution folder (for example INBOX) in mail-notification-evolution setup dialog, evolution crashed down. Then every other new start of evolution while mail-notification applet was running ended with crash immediately after displaying summary of folders in evolution. Without mail-notification applet in memory evolutions starts without crashing down.

I too can confirm this bug on my Intrepid 8.10 AMD64 with full updates as of today (Oct 23). I do not know any debugging steps.

[Michele Costantino Soccio (michelinux)]

Guys,
this is just one among the serious problems this release of Evolution
has (maybe we could call it "Devolution"). Please try to fix those bugs
and of course, ask us, the users, for any help we can offer.

[Mbiba (milos-biba)]

Please, is there any chance, that this bug will be corrected in near future (e. g. before the Ibex final release?

Thanx

Confirmed on 8.10 RC with all the latest updates as of now. This is a serious bug for me.

[Rotbart van Dainig (rotbart-van-dainig)]

Still crashing.

Is this linked to Bug 251031 ?

[Klaus Doblmann (moviemaniac)]

The symptoms are the same, yes. When I subscribe an evolution-folder in mail-notification, evolution crashes and I can't restart it anymore unless I unsubsribe the folder in mail-notification.

[Mbiba (milos-biba)]

Why this bug is only with Medium importance and Inconfirmed state? It makes Evolution unusable for plenty of users. When you have another mailboxes on the server, the directly build-in notification in evolution is unusable (monitors only Inbox). As I read in Bug 251031, the patch exists for mandriva from august 2008, but its only manual and requires compilation of latest version.

Manually implementing the Patch from Bug 251031 fixes crashes on adding mailboxes for me - marking as duplicate of Bug 251031.
