Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 231284
[RHEL5.2] Creating "Task" in Evolution doesn't fully work
Last modified: 2014-10-06 10:15:59 EDT
Description of problem: When I create a task in Evolution and fill in a Due Date, that same task shows up in Outlook with NO due date selected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): v2.8.0 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new task 2. Set a due date 3. Open Outlook and view the task - no due date is specified Actual results: Task is created with no due date in Outlook. Due date shows up in Evolution, though. Expected results: Due date should appear in both places.
RHEL 5.2 will re-base Evolution from version 2.8.0 to version 2.12.3. Can you please test whether this bug is still present in RHEL 5.2?
This seems to work a bit better. However, there are still issues with this. I have two accounts registered in Evolution. In my company, when I use one account, it sends out one way, and the other account (Exchange account) uses the Exchange server. It seems that when I schedule meetings, Evolution wants to send out using the non-Exchange account. Therefore, some of my meeting notices come back as undeliverable.
Okay, thanks for responding.
Can you check in Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts, whether your Exchange account is set as default account or not? I think Evolution uses your default account to send meeting notifications. Did I get it right that the due date for tasks is now working properly?
I can't speak for the due date for tasks... As far as calendar events - I just responded to one after marking my Exchange account the default. The response must have been confused because when I check on my Outlook client, I see that the meeting has been Tentatively accepted, yet Evolution is telling me that it was sent as accepted.
As for the tasks... I just tried creating one and twice now specified I wanted it in my Exchange tasks; however, they're showing up in my Personal tasks. That doesn't appear to work any longer.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
I'm a bit curious about this report. What is the issue? It can be two things: a) due dates for tasks on exchange (can touch evolution-connector package) b) what account use as organizer - not a bug, just setup evo properly. Is there any other "issue" I do not see?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? Thank you.
Unfortunately our organization is now using Exchange 2007. The currently released version of Evolution cannot connect to this version, so I do not have any way to test this at this point.
This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.
