RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
It seems that Evolution has made a number of useful improvements to the interoperability with Microsoft Exchange since release 3.22.x. A version bump to the latest release series of Evolution would be useful.

Summary : Mail and calendar client for GNOME
Description :
Evolution is the GNOME mailer, calendar, contact manager and
communications tool. The components which make up Evolution
are tightly integrated with one another and act as a seamless
personal information-management tool.
Aligning the update with a point release of RHEL seems to make sense. I would not rate any of the corresponding issues with Evolution 3.22.x as critical.
Thanks for a bug report. Please note that this means to bring also evolution-data-server (eds), evolution-ews and evolution-mapi. While there is not much issue with the two later, the eds is a problem, because it's a critical core part of the desktop, due to multiple other applications than just evolution connecting to its services, including GNOME Shell itself (the gnome-shell-calendar-server, which shows events in the clock popup). That means that an update of Evolution may eventually require update of other packages as well.
