When upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, exchange mail accounts no longer work in Evolution. When clicking the account, the folder structure won't expand and the account does not send or receive e-mail (although) it does appear in the send/receive dialog box.

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution-exchange

uploaded to -proposed:
evolution-exchange (2.30.3-0ubuntu2) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
    - strip -Bsymbolic-function to attempt fixing ExchangeAccount registration
      (LP: #631395)

Test case:
1. ensure you are using an exchange server, normally it's currently broken for you in maverick
2. install the version from -proposed
3. restart evolution, you should be able to connect to your exchange server now.

------------
Deleting and re-adding the exchange account doens't help either. Also, creating a completely new exchange account does not work either. So it seems all exchange account don't work for me on Meerkat. IMAP does work.

Further to this - if I change the password type to "Secure" instead of "Plain text" in the options of the Exchange account, as well as starting evolution offline, then things seems to work (after I've switched Evolution back to being on-line).
If Evolution asks for my AD password - I have to restart Evolution.
Once it's all doing it's thing - it really is much faster than 2.28.

All seems to work then, sending and receiving e-mail, expanding

It does seem to feel a bit slower then when I use IMAP.

Of course, when restarting evolution via the GUI, nothing works again.

I think I found a solution and also the culprit: liborg-gnome-exchange-operations.so

I have mint/debian installed on another HD and noticed evolution/exchange was working fine...
I downloaded the "http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/evolution-exchange/download" and manually extracted "liborg-gnome-exchange-operations.so" file and copied over the original on /usr/lib/evolution/2.30/plugins/
Now everything works as expected!

So the problem must be "liborg-gnome-exchange-operations.so"

Hope it helps solve the problem

Same problem here. This is a shows topper and I am forced to roll back to 10.04. Very disappointing that yet another ubuntu upgrade breaks evolution which is probaby the most important app to have working for corporate users.

FWIW my company uses Exchange 2003 but does not enable IMAP.

Please fix this bug ASAP!

The best work-around I have found is to simply start evolution in offline mode - then change it's status to online.
I've added a launcher on my panel with the following command: "evolution --offline".

After replacing the library file per Sergio's instructions, I was able to see my emails, calendar and contacts, but I couldn't move messages to another folder, as the indicator would just sit on 0%.

I can second this. Luckily most of my colleagues seem to be happy

I can confirm that things improved but with the ppa far not all problems are gone.

1) Mailing now seems to work in principle without having to start with --offline

2) there keeps one task endless open searching for changed messages ("Geänderte Nachrichten werden gesucht (zu 100% abgeschlossen))

3) Switching to calendar freezes evolution for some minutes. Then it shows the calendar pane without any entries. Any right-clicks or en-/disabling of calendar checkboxes leads to freezing for some minutes again

4) closing of evolution is not possible. It never comes to an end independent of having switched to the calendar before or not.

If I knew how to obtain some debugging infos I would/could provide them - if this helped ... ?

After upgrading to the new amd64 package, I can observe the following behaviour:

Starting Evolution online, new emails are not synced and the refreshing progress remains at 0%, "looking for new messages" remains at 100% without disappearing.

Starting Evolution offline and then connecting to the server with the connection symbol results in several error messages (Could not connect to the server), after clicking OK until the messages disappear, same behaviour as above, nothing happens. When I then click on an other folder (i.e. "Sent Items"), the refreshing process starts and finishes successfully. Clicking then on the Inbox starts the refreshing process and after reaching 100%, the message disappears, the message concerning new messages remains (with 100%) and new mails are not displayed. The terminal windows shows the following message: "evolution-mail-Message: Error occurred while existing dialogue active: column folder_name is not unique".
Clicking again on an other folder and back on the Inbox (while clicking several times OK on the "could not connect to the server" messages) results in displaying the new messages, on the terminal window I see the message "(evolution:2561): camel-exchange-provider-WARNING **: got_folder_props: 7"

When I then open an email (and after several error messages "could not connect to the server" again) and try to forward it, no email is sent and the terminal shows the following message: "(evolution:2561): camel-exchange-provider-WARNING **:
No GC: could not unmangle sender field".

Exiting Evolution is still not possible (the status message about the saving of the account remains at 0%).

I'm extremely frustrated, because I was desperately waiting for the MAPI connection, which does not work also, and now I can not even use the Exchange Server connection anymore.

Any hints are more than appreciated, and if I can provide debugging information, please advise me, because I'm still an Ubuntu newby.

This issue is not fully resolved for me either. I've installed the 'evolution-exchange' package from maverick-proposed and I can now expand the folder tree which was not possible with the stock 10.10 package.

However, Evolution will not load and show the emails in some folders but instead gets stuck in "Fetching summary information for new messages (x% complete)" with 'x' usually being a number in the single-digits range. For other folders, Evolution is very slow in loading or showing messages. Sometimes Evolution also hangs on exit and needs to be killed via console.

I hope this is resolved asap as it affects my ability to do business.

So as I mentioned before, I have seen some progress - the subfolders do now expand. But it still cannot upload the emails from exchange. It gets stuck. The "Downloading new messages for offline mode" sticks at 0% complete (for hours), and the "Checking for new mail" doesn't stick at 0, but it cannot complete either.

Is there someone out there that might suggest if I am doing something wrong? I am not a newby, but I am not a guru by any stretch. I really cannot use evolution in its current state.

I'm glad it fixed the issue for many people, but I am still having the problem like John.

When I start evolution it will usually update some of the folders and then stop at some point. After having to forcefully quit evolution and tying a couple more times it will sync all the folders(seems to work better when started in offline mode), but always says the following at the bottom that doesn't go away "Scanning for changed messages (100%)"

Everything worked fine in the previous version of Ubuntu, but broke immediate after upgrading and none of the described fixes in this bug report have fully addressed the problem.

If I start it from the command line sometimes I see the following:

EI: MAIL PREFSerror : unterminated entity reference CCI
error : unterminated entity reference CCI

Other times it just hangs at:
EI: MAIL PREFS

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

This is pretty embarrassing. When you are in a corporate environment, email and calendaring are the kind of fundamental functions you expect out of your PC.

I recently moved to Ubuntu after 10+ yrs of Windows only desktop life. This bug keeps meto feel sad why did I choose Ubuntu.

I did find lot of ppa (Jacob, Michael Kuhn,Suria) None of them works well with Maverick.Another shame is evolution (mapi & exchange) doesn't work Natty to :((.. So ububtu 10.4 , 10.10 11.04 is basically useless for those who need primarily Evolution as mail client.

I am also running Fedora 14 in my Vbox where it has evolution 2.32 and works very well. I am going to wait for few more days to see if this bug is getting fixed. Else i have to pick up my option to move to Fedora14.

I am quite confused why the development community is not concerned about fixing this a priority.

I completely agree. I can not understand how you can support Ubuntu in the enterprise when the Exchange/e-mail connection is broken this badly. I even tried to upgrade evolution to 2.32 from the next release and it is still broken, but appears because that component isn't compiled in. The error I get is documented here.

Hi folks,

I suffer this problem, too - and I think I found something to get the exchange calendar working again:

in the processes view (in german version the "Systemüberwachung") I saw the "e-calendar-factory" process hanging with some mutex-wait state always when evolution hanging on trying to display the calendar. I killed the "e-calendar-factory" process with the evolution still trying to access the calendar. Evolution hanging ended immediately (sometimes with some error pop-ups).

I then disabled the checkbox in front of the exchange calendar and enabled it again. The "e-calendar-factory" process then appeared again, now in state poll-schedule-timeout. After some seconds not touching the evolution my exchange calendar entries appeared. And things seem to work - at least I just successfully tested invitations handling.

@developers: this looks very much like some sync problem on processes startup

Hope this helps some others, too

Still not working... though two days ago Synaptic downloaded an update for several Evolution components.

Since it looks this bug is not THAT critical for evolution/gnome teams as to fix it quickly (I've struggling on this one for 2 months): Is there a known workaround for this?

By the way: Luckily, Evolution is my 2nd. option for mail management, because I perform most of my work on Thunderbird + DavMail.
For those stuck by this bug, my advice is to try T-Bird+DavMail combo.
Not as good as Evolution + Exchange plug-in (assuming they work...), but good enough for most everyday regular job.

Please, fix this ASAP: It is a shame for OpenSource community!

Finally I found a solution.
WARNING: This is an absolutely NON scientific method. It is 100% based on try & fail.
So far, it's been working for me for the whole day.

0: Synaptic is set at maverick-proposed level.
1: Uninstall Evolution with "sudo aptitude purge evolution evolution-indicator evolution-documentation-en evolution-common evolution-couchdb evolution-exchange evolution-data-server evolution-webcal evolution-plugins".
Don't care about warnings: Go ahead, because "Fortune favors the bold".
2: Delete your Evolution folder (at ~/.evolution).
3: Install again evolution + exchange plugin with "sudo apt-get install evolution evolution-exchange".
4: Restart Evolution. Let it sync.
5: Optional step: Disable as many add-ons as possible. Honestly I don't know if any of them is responsible...

Before this, I've got three major problems:
- At start-up, usually Evolution froze while syncing. Or downloading new messages content (headers showed up fine).
- If started off-line, showed a wrong URL message for each preview.
- Trash folder sometimes appeared as a regular folder, sometimes as a real Trash can (main difference was the absence of the "empty trash" option).

Good luck!

William, you are (of course) exactly correct and I am (duly) embarassed.
So I set to maverick-proposed, and did the above (from jeti), and evolution is WORSE.
I have a serious flat spot on my head from trying to resolve this issue on my system.
Ubuntu really has egg on its face over this. Fedora is looking better every day.

By WORSE, I mean that it freezes when it starts, that is, two popusp occur. One asks if I want to make evolution my default mail tool and the other asks or a possword on the system. I cannot type in the password, or answer the question from the first window because they are both not responsive. In order to get rid of them, I have to kill -9 evolution.

Definitely not ready for prime time!

I cannot acces calendar or tasks. When I try to enter those sections, evolution hangs for a few minutes and then displays a blank calendar or task list. I had roll back to 10.04.

I'm attaching a screenshot of what it looks in Ubuntu spanish (the option, unchecked in order to avoid the problem) is pointed. In english it should say something like "scan all folders for new messages".
What I've found is that when this option is checked, Evolution hangs badly at startup. When unchecked, Evolution starts and syncs Inbox fine.

Of course, you'll only be able to test this if you manage to start Evolution up to the point where you configure your account preferences.

My advice, is try over and over. You may need to kill Evo, or even restarting your computer. Also, give a try to an off-line startup.

I do like how much effort Canonical puts in creating a great user

I too agree.

I have been using Ubuntu since 5.04 (a committed user for many years!), but finally gave up waiting for a resolution to this problem. A reliable mail client is the most essential application in an enterprise environment. About a month ago I switched to Fedora 14 (running Evolution 2.32.1); the Evolution 2.32.1 exchange has been rock solid (better than 10.04 and 2.30 which never worked very well for me either). Thus far I prefer Ubuntu over Fedora in all respects (except for Evolution) and this is my only reason for moving away from Ubuntu. My only point to posting here is to emphasize how important a reliable exchange mail client is for me.

I hope Canocial gets this right with 11.04, I'll check back in April, but for now I'm on a different distro.

Besides the efforts and the knowledge (which I do not have at the moment) necessary to step back, I have no confidence that the behaviour of Evolution would be any better.
For a long time now I was happy, if I succeded in refreshing my mail folders maybe 2 or 3 times a day and I learned to "survive" with that situation (using my Webclient or my IPhone for urgent matters).
I have a pretty complex setup on my notebook with lots of software I'm using and I'm no Linux professional. It is almost impossible for me to hop around between releases and distributions.

For me it is hard to understand, that Evolution Exchange seems to work flawlessly in some Linux distributions, but not in Ubuntu.
Based on the reactions we receive here and elsewhere on our problems, I do not see a probability of improvement. If somebody would step up and tell at least, where the problem is, even if it would mean to wait for an other couple of months, that could be ok with me.
But to me it seems, that nobody has a clue about the problem itself. So how can I expect any improvement, if not even the problem seems to be identified?

I would even pay for a solution, if I only could realistically expect one.

In my experience (running Ubuntu 10.10 with evolution 2.30.3) - remove
the evolution-indicator package. That seems to be the only difference
between Evolution on Fedora and Ubuntu.
I've got no problems with Ubuntu, Evolution and Exchange 2003 now :)

It is possible that the initial removal of the 'evolution-indicator' package changed configuration in such a way as to correct the problem regardless of the evolution-indicator package's installation state.

Either that or this is merely a red herring and the problem was resolved by another (unknown) factor.

Thanks, Scott, for your kind help.
This I have found out already. I have completed the steps you suggested.
A problem I have encountered was with the dpkg --configure (it told me that I'm not allowed to use the file name, but the package name instead. I then run the dpkg --configure again with the -pending option only.

But now, evolution is not starting anymore (missing child process) and it seems, that there is an unfulfillable dependendy (evolution-common (= 2.30.3-5).

change the other dpkg --config line to 'libsqlite3-0' and 'evolution'

I checked the versions of the evolution package in Synaptic and I found out, that only the evolution and the evolution-common are on version 2.30.5. All others, especially evolution-exchange are still 2.30.3-0ubuntu2. Does this have any influence?
