Evolution 2.6.2 ... I just want to cry...

<violin>

When I upgraded to Fedora Core 5 I got Evolution 2.6.1. The
exchange-connector was broken. Actually it was libsoup that
was broken.
I stuck with it anyway, though. I found that if I restarted
Evolution
often enough that it would eventually come up. It was very
frustrating.

Several days ago libsoup was fixed and life was finally
good! No more
crashes! On that same day 2.6.2 was also released but it had
trouble
installing due to dependencies. My global address book was
still broken
so I looked forward to the dependencies being resolved in
hopes that not
only would it be stable but it would work like it used to
before the
upgrade.

Well 2.6.2 went on and everything has gone down the drain
again. Right
now, my machine is running at 100% busy doing what appears
to be
nothing. If that were not the case then I would see it
either filtering
or downloading and stalling forever. Attempts to close the
application
gracefully fail. It simply ignores the fact that I click on
the "X". I
want to scream.

It has gone from extremely bad to pretty good to absolutely
unusable.
The progression should be from really good towards
excellent. Not this
rollercoaster ride at the bottom end of acceptability.

Is there not some way to keep this from happening? I am a
devoted user
but this is becoming intolerable.

It might be that you've got miss-matched versions of
evolution and its
backend components after the upgrade (i.e. the backends are
still the
ones running from 2.6.1).  Try doing 'evolution
--force-shutdown' in a
terminal and restarting evo to see if it's any better.

I upgraded my FC5 installation with yum update (to evo
2.6.2) . I'm
also using exchange connector, and now I don't get any new
mails! To
be more precise, the folder (Inbox) lists unread messages,
but they do
not appear in the message pane. If I quit evolution and
restart I get
those mails, but mails that arrive after that are just
listed in the
number behind Inbox.

As fas as I can tell all my Evolution components are 2.6.2.
I have
also restarted everything (and also rebooted).

How do I debug this?

I have similar problems with evolution. My exchange
connector was
working ok  with a few crashes every other day, until I
installed 2.6.2.
After that the exchange portion didn't crash, but maybe
that was because
every time I clicked into an exchange folder evolution would
crash. I
did a yum install evolution* out of desperation and
installed all the
debug and dev packages. So far no problems other than I
can't seem to be
able to open any bodies shared calenders yet.

I'm having issues after upgrading with yum too.

Anyone know how to roll back to the previous version?

Me as well on Fedora Core 5.. What I did to downgrade was
install these
RPMs:

evolution-2.6.0-1.i386.rpm
evolution-connector-2.5.92-1.i386.rpm
evolution-data-server-1.5.92-1.i386.rpm
gnome-panel-2.14.0-1.i386.rpm
gnome-pilot-2.0.13-7.fc5.4.i386.rpm
kdepim-3.5.1-1.2.i386.rpm
kdepim-devel-3.5.1-1.2.i386.rpm
pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.5.2.1.i386.rpm
pilot-link-devel-0.12.0-0.pre4.5.2.1.i386.rpm

There may be more, I've had to do this a few times now as I
kept seeing
updates to evolution packages and trying them.

Can you get the exchange hackers the relevant crash dumps ?
Is there a bug report in bugzilla.gnome.org ?

Sushma/Sankar : Can you follow this up, please ?

Thanks .. I've downgraded to the original FC5 rpms (rpm
-Uvh
--oldpackage <list>) and everything is as it was, even
calendar.  I wish
my company would use something other than Exchange for mail
...

	I wish I could get THAT far.  I'm still hosed up by the
whole ssl
thing.  Latest update at least had my mailbox correct
(instead of some
global list I happen to own on the exchange server) so
that's major
improvement.  But it still refuses to use SSL (non-ssl is
prohibited
here - not up for discussion and I agree with the management
on that
point 1000 percent) even though I can authenticate using
SSL.  The
account edit always shows http: for the OWA URL (even though
it even
says "use_ssl=always" in the gconf registry for
that account) and I
can't authenticate against that.  Change it to
"https:" and I can
authenticate, but then then Ok button is grayed out and
nothing I do
will re-enable that button.  I have no choice but to cancel
and then I
can't authenticate because non-ssl is prohibited (it can't
even connect
to an non-ssl port so it bitches that the URL may be bad). 
Last version
where I was even able to get this two work was ages ago when
the dialog
had a "use_ssl" option you could set to
"always" and THAT worked.
Hasn't worked since that dialog object disappeared. 
Downgrading to
2.6.0 won't resolve that (and downgrading far enough to
resolve the ssl
problem would break in-line gpg which is even worse for me).

	The only way I've been able to get Evolution to talk to
our exchange
server lately (as in JUST lately today with this latest bug
fix for the
dain bramaged mailbox bug) is with a major butt-ugly hacking
using
stunnel on my local machine and jacking around with the
local
static /etc/hosts file to redirect the exchange server name
to a
loopback address on the local system and then through
stunnel to the
actual exchange server.  Gag...  With that hack, I can, once
again,
browse my folders on Exchange.  We'll see if anything
crashes but how do
you debug something when you have to work with such a hack
to make it
work in the first place?
