Trouble with NFS

frkstein · 01-12-2003, 07:21 PM

I have set up an NFS server and I have moved my home directory. Most things work just fine, my problem comes that evolution won't open my inbox. It will open the calendar, task list and contacts but not the inbox. I looked at the permissions and path and everything is set correctly. Any thoughts on what I can do to set this straight.

Well, not sure its a problem with NFS but with evolution ? Did you move and copy the evolution directory to the new /home location ?

Can you create a new email address and open it up with any problems ?

I did copy the mail folder into the new /home area on the NFS. I have double checked the that all the permissions and paths are correct. I did try an open a new mail session but it gives me this error:

Unknown CORBA exception id: "IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'

Man, I can't find anything with that sort of error. Something has got to be corrupt though.

If you don't have that many messages to lose, you could try renaming the directory to like evolution-old ( to back up ) and then relaunch evolution and reconfigure just to see if it does the same thing.

No good.

I tried what you suggested. Evolution will not bring up any of the email functions.

Something is wrong then. If it was me, I'd try reinstalling it to see if that works, then try to restore your default mail settings.

Have you tried maybe with another user ?
