Description of problem: Evolution crashes when connecting to exchange server. The issue is also reported by others. It started happening after upgrading to rhel 5.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.8.0-40.el5 How reproducible: Just start evolution. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start evolution 2. Observe the crash 3. Actual results: (evolution:4551): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_message_set_request: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed (evolution:4551): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_message_set_flags: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed (evolution:4551): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_session_send_message: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed Expected results: Should connect to exhange server. Additional info: This seems to be related to exchange, and I have not tested this update with pop servers. Please also review this related link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3802503
I had missed two lines on top of the diagnostic messages that I am coping here: CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... ** (evolution:4593): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution --component=mail %s ** (evolution:4593): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution (evolution:4593): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_message_set_request: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed (evolution:4593): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_message_set_flags: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed (evolution:4593): libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_session_send_message: assertion `SOUP_IS_MESSAGE (msg)' failed
It works with pop servers. I also found out that my company's IT has installed a new version of exchange. This issue may be related to this new MS software's functioning with evolution!
Note that Evolution does not yet work with Exchange 2007, in case that's what your company has installed.
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?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question?
I have not yet upgraded to RHEL 5.2, but will do that shortly, and will try Evolution 2.12.3.
I did upgrade to RHEL 5.2. The issue still continues. It is probably due to very recent version of exchange server that the IT in my company has installed. Thanks, Homayoun
If your company has upgraded to Exchange 2007, then the best we can do is make Evolution fail more gracefully. Exchange 2007 support is still under heavy development and not scheduled until RHEL 6.
Yes you're right. I just found out that our IT is using exchange 2007! So I guess there won't be a solution for a while! Thanks, Homayoun
