Description of problem: I have several contacts in my Exchange address book that have non-english texts in them (in the name or in other details). The MAPI address book under Evolution shows all such characters as question marks (?). The contacts show well in the old Exchange (OWA based) address book as well as with other Exchange clients. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.29.91-1.fc13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use another exchange client (such as OWA or the OWA based connector) to create a contact with unicode characters. I use Hebrew, but I think other character sets will also cause this problem. 2. View the contact using the MAPI address book Actual results: All non-english is shown as question markes Expected results: The texts should appear as entered.
Additional info: if I try to create a contact in a MAPI address book and enter some Hebrew text into the name, I get an "Error adding contact" with the very descriptive error text "Other error" :-) Same when trying to modify an existing contact
Thanks for a bug report. The first issue, about showing UTF8 letters in Contacts addressbook of evolution-mapi account, is part of an upstream bug report [1]. The second issue, about writing such contacts to the server, is probably closely related. Let's see in the upstream bug. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600389
