When a meeting request is sent to my inbox, I can view the request, but the buttons 'Open Calendar', 'Decline', 'Tentative' and 'Accept' remain greyed out. The text 'Searching for an existing version of this appointment' is shown, but it never disappears. I can manually modify my calendar, and create entries. I am running stable x86, with the gnome 2.22 packages unmasked 1 chrisp@jabberwock ~/Desktop $ equery l evolution [ Searching for package 'evolution' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ~] app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22 (0) [I--] [ ] dev-dotnet/evolution-sharp-0.14.0.1 (0) [I--] [ ~] gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-2.22.2 (0) [I--] [ ~] gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.21.92 (0) [I--] [ ~] mail-client/evolution-2.22.2-r2 (2.0) 0 chrisp@jabberwock ~/Desktop $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24-tuxonice-r4-chris-4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-tuxonice-r4-chris-4 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz Timestamp of tree: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:03:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer " CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/init.d /etc/initng/daemon /etc/initng/net /etc/initng/system /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d /usr/share/X11/xkb" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer " DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks parallel-fetch sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org/" LANG="en_ZA.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_ZA.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en en_ZA en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/rbu /usr/portage/local/layman/sajinet /usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects /usr/portage/local/mine" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apache2 async automount avahi bash-completion beagle berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo exif fam fbcondecor fbsplash ffmpeg firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif glitz gnome gnome-keyring gnome-print gnomecd gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv iproute2 isdnlog java jpeg keyring libnotify libsexy logitech-mouse logrotate mad midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng mono mp3 mpeg mudflap musepack nautilus ncurses networkmanager newspr nptl nptlonly nsplugin obex ogg opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png pppd pulseaudio python qt3support quicktime readline reflection samba session slab spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subversion svg theora tiff tracker truetype udev unicode vim vim-syntax vorbis wifi win32codecs x264 x86 xattr xcb xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xprint xscreensaver xulrunner xvmc zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel usb-audio" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2 canon" ELIBC="glibc" INITNG_PLUGINS="also bash_launcher chdir chroot conflict cpout critical ctrlaltdel daemon_clean debug_commands envparser find fmon fstat history idleprobe initctl interactive iparser last limit lockfile logfile netdev netprobe ngc4 ngcs nge pause provide reload renice rlparser simple_launcher stcmd stdout suid syncron syslog sysreq unneeded usplash" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_ZA en_GB" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
unfortunately, it works for me. Did you unmask all gnome 2.22 to get evo 2.22 ?
Disable "Prefer plain-text" plugin and just restart.
Created attachment 159520 [details, diff] patch This is patch which debian and ubuntu use
I am not using the prefer plain text plugin. That patch appears to only affect that plugin I am running all gnome 2.22.
(It's not the text-only plugin; that would keep the buttons from showing up.) Do you have any calendars selected in the Calendars and Tasks tab of the Mail Preferences?
Have you ckecked with 2.22.3.1 (already in portage tree)? Upstream bug report says in comment #20 that this was fixed at 27th May, and 2.22.3 is from 30 May http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution?view=revision&revision=35555 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/gnome-2-22/plugins/prefer-plain/prefer-plain.c?view=patch&r1=35555&r2=35554&pathrev=35555

Under Preferences -> Calendar and Tasks -> Alarms, I have My Personal Calendar (On This Computer) ticked Also, under the main Calendars screen, The same calendar is ticked as well.
I have just removed a Scalix account which I had been using for testing, and the problem has resolved itself. Sorry for wasting your time...
