Once again, Evolution has stopped working for me. It crashes with a null |
| 2 |
pointer error when I reach the end of a line in mail composition. It |
| 3 |
freezes when I try to access my calendar (status line says it's trying to |
| 4 |
open ~/.evolution/tasks/local/system/tasks.ics. I don't have any active |
| 5 |
tasks!). It's eaten up a substantial part of a gig of drive space with mail |
| 6 |
metafiles for stuff that's years old. |

|
| 8 |
I can't access any of the information I need from my calendar. I mistakenly |
| 9 |
relied on the program to store a bunch of professional appointments for the |
| 10 |
coming weeks and months and now I'll apparently have to re-create a bunch of |
| 11 |
this stuff from memory and by making a couple dozen phone calls. Bah! |
| 12 |
Evolution is worse than Microsoft Outlook, and apparently a lot less stable. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I tried re-emerging evolution and evolution-data-server with no luck. I'm |
| 15 |
rebuilding glibc to see if that helps. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Are there any programs out there (other than evolution) which will import an |
| 18 |
evolution calendar and allow one to at least see it? Fortunately, I have my |
| 19 |
contact database backed up to an LDAP db, and it seems that evolution still |
| 20 |
works for my contacts, but it's taken to crashing regularly for email, and |
| 21 |
when composing or replying to email, and I've fallen back to using mutt, |
| 22 |
which never crashes. |

Bah! Macs are looking better and better. |
