Description: Exchange support for the Evolution groupware suite
 The Evolution MAPI provider adds support for Microsoft Exchange,
 including Exchange 2007, to the Evolution groupware suite, using the
 proprietary MAPI protocol.
 .
 Unlike the Exchange connector (in the evolution-exchange package), it
 does not use Outlook Web Access and requires direct access to the
 Exchange server.

Bug description:
  Using version Dev Ubuntu 12.10.

  1- Confugure Evolution using exchange mapi server through mapi plugin
  2- Email reception ok
  3- Edit new email
  4- Try to send
  5- The reported error was "Impossible d'envoyer le message : WriteStream :
Error MAPI MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED (0x80004005)".

[juri (eng-juri)]

error just after a 12.10 upgrade.

Found that mails below some limit (like 800-1000 plain ASCII
chars) send OK, but longer ones fail, even if the mail is still plain
ASCII.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please unblock package openchange

The latest version in unstable (1:1.0-3) fixes Debian bug 692727, which
renders the package unusable for sending email when used with newer
versions of Samba 4.

[juri (eng-juri)]

I did patch OPENCHANGE and i tested it.

Use this package with Debian or Ubuntu.

thank you
Juri

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

juri, this bug is fixed in raring only so far.

A SRU is necessary for it to land in quantal as well.

[juri (eng-juri)]

I have patched and builded openchange so you can fis this issue just by updating the package.

[BartS (bart-steanes)]

Juri, any chance of either build instructions, or i386 versions of these packages (I use AMD C-50 based tablet so I have to run 32 bit executables).
NOTE: In my case the only packages I have installed are libmapi0, and libmapi-dev.
NOTE2: I suspect that the only reasons I have libmapi dev was a side effect of trying to fix the problem.

[Geoff Goehle (goehle)]

Hey, so I've been waiting for the fix to this to float downstream but eventually I got tired....

So if you want to apply the fix manually just go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/libmapi0 and download libmapi0 (for your correct architecture) using the links at the bottom of the page and install the package manually.

Cheers.

[BartS (bart-steanes)]

Thank you so much.

[Ted (artisdom)]

thanks, it works.

[Francisco Nogueira (francisco-nogueira)]

[guerlloy (carlos-guerlloy)]

Thank a lot, it worked

[DJ (ke7mbz)]

Worked for me too. Thanks.

[Manuel Nuñez (yo-elmanu)]

Thanks! it works.

[Hassaan (kh-iftikhar)]

goehle: Thank you very much. I'm back in love with evolution :)

[kmcphillips (kmcphillips)]

Installing the libmapi0 package downloaded from http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/libmapi0 fixed the issue.
Thank you.

[Cameron Smith (cameron-smith)]

I had this problem on Ubuntu 12.10 using evolution 3.6.0-0ubuntu3, with libmapi0 1.0-2.

Installing libmapi0 1.0-4 from the link mention in post #24 above solved the problem. Pleasantly, I just did a straight install over the top of the existing version, via dpkg -i, there were no dependency problems.

[Samarjit Adhikari (samarjit-adhikari)]

It [post#24] works for me as well. Thanks a lot.

[amias (amias)]

quite suprised to see a year on your patch is still required -

from the standard repos i had

evolution-mapi_3.6.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
libexchangemapi-1.0-0_3.6.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
pool/universe/o/openchange/libmapi0_1.0-4_i386.deb

these had that error and then i downloaded and installed your libmapi0 package and it seems to work again.

plz to get this in the main repo so more people can use ubuntu at work k thnx bye
