[Evolution] Evolution on Ubuntu many problems - Help required

[Jonathan Harrison <jonathan harrison baroni-limited com>]

Dear sirs

I have a number of issues with Evolution and am unable to get any help resolving them or acknowledgement that there is an issue.  I am hoping that by submitting here some one can help.  I have raised the issues on the Ubuntu Forum at the following links.

These issues are not on ONE machine, but 5.  A mix of home build and off the shelf, 32-bit and 64-bit, fresh build and upgrade, so no common denominator other than they are all on the same release of Ubuntu 12:10 and latest Evolution 3.6.0.  Here are the issues:

1. Since Ubuntu upgrade to 12:10 from 12:04 Evolution keeps crashing. I had this issue with 12:04 and fixed it by purging and reinstalling. I followed the same steps, but this time it does not work.

2. I also find an issue with auto-signatures.

I have about 5 accounts I manage in my client. One is my Default. I have set different auto-signatures for each account. When I create a message it adds the correct auto-signature, BUT also adds the default signature too. I have disabled the auto-signature in the Default account and it has stopped happening, but I do not now have an auto-signature in the main account, I have to add it manually.

3. In "Reply" the first character of the eMail Header is put on the end of the previous line. I.e. if the Header of the replied message is:

This is an actual cut n paste with the name changed for security reasons.

All these are found on all (5) the machines we are running Ubuntu and Evolution on..... All latest Evolution and Ubuntu releases.

4. Also it hangs when synchronizing... Not all the time, just when it has a number of folders to synchronise and always after about `5 minutes of use. I have to kill it and reboot, which is not good.

5.  In Calendar, when invitations are responded to, it does not recognise them so can not update the record.

6. Also in Calendar the tabs for Chair and "required attendee" do not work....

There are quite a few anomalies.  I have raised these on the Ubuntu Forum, and had a number of other users complain of the same, but no help in getting a fix.  Can anyone help, please?
