When I begin to compose an e-mail in Evolution with the evolution-exchange module, I am always asked to provide my Global Address List password. My company keeps the GAL server behind the firewall, so I can not access it unless I am on the VPN. This means that 99% of the e-mails I send begin with a dialog that I must close. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up an account on an Exchange server, through Evolution, where the GAL server is inaccessible, but the OWA server is on the public Internet. 2.Compose an e-mail 3. Actual Results: A dialog appears asking for my Global Address List Password, but it will not accept the proper password, and I have to cancel. Expected Results: If the GAL server is inaccessible, there is no reason to prompt me for the password 100 times a day. A check should be made to determine if the server is available before a password is requested. This is a new behavior, although I do not know the exact version where this behavior started. I've used evolution-exchange for years, and until a recent 'emerge world' I never had this problem with it.
I've seen such report on #evolution as well but unfortunately without more details we are not going anywhere.
Please let me know what additional details you require, and I will do my best to get them for you.
so with evolution-exchange what upstream would ask is try launching evolution in a terminal with something E2K_DEBUG="5" and attach the log here. What we also want to know is your emerge --info and versions of evolution/eds/evo-exchange you are using. I think it would probably be faster for you to get a resolution if you report this upstream, but let us first check that there is nothing wrong on the compilation side :)
please get back to us or to upstream.
