Is it possible to import internet calendars to evolution or ubuntu in general?
My uni provides an ics feed url.
I know it's possible to import .ics files into evolution, but our timetables are updated daily so I would have to import a new .ics file everyday.
I was able to connect my Evolution to our Exchange Server 2003.I'm able to get my mail and calendar.When I add a second email account, I can get the mail, but if I try to show the calendar for the second email account, it only duplicates the entries from the original account and doesn't show anything that is on the second account's calendar.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Evolution, suddenly something went wrong, and one of the Calendars (my personal calendar, i have two more) doesn't appear any more. I cannot select it either; when I try to select it, the tick appears for a second (less actually) and disappears again, and the elements on dates don't even appear in that time.
So I tried something to see if something else was going on; I tried to copy the Calendar (right click and Copy..) and I can do it with every Calendar but that one, because a message comes up "Could not open source". Also I've noticed when making right click on it, the "Delete" option is greyed out, not available.
I can see no easy way to launch the calendar from within evolution. In previous versions there were buttons to switch between email, contacts & calendar, now there's only a button to launch contacts from within email. The only solution I've found is to search for Evolution Contacts within Applications, and then I can see no way to pin it to the launcher.

I tried Thunderbird, but it is too slow to start up and evolution also is too slow, I'm looking for a simple, fast, mail reader with a calender, that shows up in the indicator panel applet.

Not just the calendar, but the whole interface and I must shut the machine off to escape. I use the Gnome desktop (not the silly netbook one . I can't find any other references to this in the forums, does any one know if this is a known bug? or there is a fix? it isn't listed in the sticky at the top of the general forum.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried to import my calendar from an Outlook 2010 .pst file twice and have had the same error both times. Appointments import successfully, but the start time (and end time) is advanced by 8 hours. For example, an appointment in Outlook with the correct start time of 12:30pm appears in Evolution with a start time of 8:30pm. I have confirmed that my system time and time zone are identical and correct in WinXP/Outlook and Ubuntu/Evolution.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just setup evolution to pull in my exchange emails using MAPI. All seems to be well, except that it isn't pulling down my calendar or tasks. I understood that it was supposed to automatically do this, is this correct?We are using exchange 2005 I believe, so wonder if this is specifically the issue.

The problem is that the link to the Yahoo CalDAV calendar is [URL], and in Evolution, it keeps inserting 'caldav://' at the beginning of the link when you click OK when setting up the calendar.

I would like to synchronise my Evolution calendar and task list between the three machines. First step would be to get calendar and task content o my PC onto the other two machines. Is this possible (e.g. via Ubuntu one), and if so, how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Evolution in KDE and everything's working well except for the notifications (calendar and new mail particularly). I'm guessing those are in different packages? how to get these running? Oh and one more thing, regardless of my default browser, evolution opens things up in rekonq by default. How might I get this working for firefox?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to add an extra shared exchange calendar to my account in Evolution.
Evolution adds my own calendar just fine but I don't know how to add the extra one.
I know that in Outlook you can select "Add shared calendar" but I can't find this option in Evolution.
I reinstalled 11.2 yesterday (wiped / and kept /home). Now when I launch Evolution, it asks me to either create a new account, or to load an archive (which I don't think I have).Why can't it find my mails and calendar? It looks to me like everything is present in the .evolution folder in my home.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhere do I look to change the calendar preference in Gnome Shell from Evolution to Osmo? I have uninstalled Evolution and installed Osmo. I have looked in all of the settings available in System Settings, Tweak Advanced Settings, Alacarte, and Configuration Editor (gconf-editor), but I am obviously overlooking something.
Is it safe to delete all references to evolution when I find them in gconf-editor? I assume I would have to do that as root since it does not seem like trying to do so as a regular user works.
What I want to do is when I click on the date/time on the top bar and select "Open Calendar", Osmo will open. Right now I just get a message: "Execution of 'evolution' failed: command not found." Of course it would fail since I removed evolution. However, I can't seem to find out where to change it to look for Osmo instead.
Evolution has balked at every webaddress I've thrown at it: Example: Code: Could not connect to imap.google.com (port imaps): Host lookup failed: imap.google.com: Name or service not known same thing happened for smtp as well as the canonical names provided by nslookup.
I was able to succeed in connecting my email finally by using the IP provided by nslookup, but still am unable to get my google Calendar to connect: Code: Cannot open calendar: Unexpected HTTP status code 2 returned (Cannot resolve hostname (www.google.com)) No proxy settings configured in Evolution or Fedora and none needed. Lemme know what else I can provide.
import mails and contacts from MSOutlook in windows to Thunderbird. It worked and even kept the folder hierarchy of the emails, as well as the contacts. My only task now is to find the /.evolution folder in ubuntu and past everything.
But was disappointed that thunderbird has no calendar, no ToDos and tasks so I'm wondering how could I import these great Outlook features into evolution, too.
I've recently upgraded to 10.04. I'm trying to import my evolution data using the following instructions. Everything seems to work ok, but when I start evolution up, it continues to act as a new installation. What do I do?

You have an Evolution installation in one home directory and you want to duplicate that configuration in a new home directory. This may involve moving your data from one computer to another. Keywords: migration, user data, new partition, new computer, new home directory
1. Completely shut down Evolution on the old machine/home directory:
1. evolution --force-shutdown
2. If you've used Evolution on the new computer/home directory, remove its config files:
1. evolution --force-shutdown

Just installed Kubuntu 10.10, configuring it now. The problem is, that I would like to use KMail, but I've got to import the settings, mailbox etc. I made a backup through Evolution, wich ended up as a .tar.gz. I tried to open it though the KMail backup program. But it just won't load the mails or lettings. It just doesn't work. I tried Evolution 1.x backup end Evolution 2.x backup. Both didn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Evolution 2.28.3 on the latest Lucid. I tried importing an Outlook pst file. Evolution obviously leads one to believe it CAN do this, otherwise why would it allow one to choose a pst file, then recognize it as an Outlook file, and give one the option of choosing which portions to import (i.e. mail, contacts, calendar, etc)?
So the first time I chose mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks. It seems to have imported mail and calendar correctly, but NOTHING happened in tasks and contacts (contacts being very important). So I tried again, this time ONLY choosing to import contacts. It went through the whole pst file again. NO contacts still. While it seems not to have duplicated email messages the second go around (and it shouldn't have), it DID duplicate all calendar items (even though I ONLY checked "contacts"). UGH!
It's one thing for it not to have a capability, but to make a person believe it CAN import all those things, then screw it all up, ... well, that's highly irritating.
I set up my email accounts in Evolution and I would like to import all emails, contacts, calendar, etc. from my outlook archive into evolution. Is it possible and how to do it?

In the Import Assistant, the dropdown menu with all of the file types are grayed out, and whenever I select the .PST file to import, the Forward button is grayed out as well. Has anyone come across the problem before? I tried reinstalling Evolution, but that didn't have any effect on it. Still got the same problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have started using Evolution because I gave up tying to get Thunderbird or Eudora work. I kept getting "unable to locate mail spool file" when trying to receive mail. I was able to import my mailboxes from my Windows Eudora. But in those mailboxes, about half of those emails had the headers but no body text. What is causing this and can it be fixed.
More importantly tho', when I import my contacts from Eudora, they are a mess, and pretty much unusable. I see a series of rectangles with "alias" on top and "real name" underneath and then when I click on it, expanded below is the alias and email address. There are two of these alias/names per rectangle and they scroll across. Any idea how I can fix that other than manually typing in each address.
I like to import mails from Evolution 2.28.3 into Mozilla Thunderbird 3.x. I guess I'll have to export them into mbox format. Correct ?
