I'm really considering leaving evolution, since I don't use any of the exchange-features, but at the moment I don't have the time to do so for all the worksttions here, so...
Anyhoo: yesterday I upgraded the systems and evolution couldn't connect to SSL-servers, which is a
known bug. Upgrading to e-d-s from unstable solved this issue.
Now new problem occurs: I cannot open attachments directly in evolution. I can save them to my hard drive and then open them, so it's no dealbreaker, but I'm kinda getting fed up with this.
Some information:

Starting evolution in a terminal outputs the following:
Code:
$ evolution

(org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
in emp_apps_open_in
$
If I remember correctly, the dbus-error has been there for a while - I don't know how to solve this but I don't know if it is problematic to leave it.
The other entry (in emp_apps_open_in) occurs together with my doubleclick on the attachments name and consecutively evolution stalls. killall evolu* is needed in order to be able to restart evolution...
Anyone?
Zl.
/EDIT: I did some more testing:
- disabling plugins didn't solve the problem
- upon double-clicking the attachment, I see in the bottom-left corner the message "saving attachment(...)", so it might be related to saving the message to a temporary folder to open it.
- Last time I double-clicked a PDF-attachement, I got an extra line of output before evolution crashed:
Code:
