Bugs Fixed Since 1.2.3

* Auto-subscribe the user to his/her IMAP INBOX
* Made the default width of the mail filter editing dialog larger.

* Better alarm daemon activation.
* Notification of calendar query errors.
* Added status messages for all operations.
* Sensitivity problem when using the folder selector.

* Importer dialog browse entry now has history dropdown.
* We no longer allow selecting a folder of a non-allowed type with
a double-click in the folder selection dialog.
* The toolbar now includes a "New" dropdown menu/button from which
you can create messages, appointments, etc. from within any
folder.
* A new, integrated configuration dialog for all of Evolution is
now provided.
* When you use the folder selection dialog, you can now jump to a
folder just by typing its name and hitting Enter (instead of
using the arrows or the mouse).
* You can now specify your default mail, calendar, tasks and
contacts folders. The shortcuts in the shortcut bar will always
point to the default folder; so for example if you have an IMAP
account you can specify that the INBOX on the IMAP account is
default and clicking on the Inbox icon on the shortcut bar will
take you to the INBOX on the IMAP account.
* Fonts for displaying of HTML mail can now be configured from
within Evolution (instead of having to use GNOME Control
Center).
* You can now make Evolution play a sound, beep, or display a
message when new mail arrives. It is also possible to trigger
these actions based on a filter rule.
* The behavior of the search bar has been improved, and the UI has
been integrated better with the menu bar and the rest of the
system.
* For the table-based views, you can now define, save and reuse
view settings using the "View" menu.

HP/UX, Solaris).
* Now installs some libraries and headers required for external
module development.
* You now can drop objects (eg. mail messages, appointments)
directly to the folders on the shortcut bar (in 1.0.x, you could
only drop them in the folder folder bar).
* Loading speed has been improved.
* When you receive an appointment through email, you can choose
which calendar to update, and if its for an existing appointment
the folder is automatically detected
* Calendar importer now supports importing to remote folders.
* Calendar GUI and alarm daemon now use listeners for the
configuration.
* Reaction to calendar backends crashing has been improved.
* Show status messages for all long calendar operations.
* Fixed default reminders description (was 'Untitled
appointment').
* Included timezone information on VCALENDAR's used in copy/paste.
* Removed extra space that was displayed for categories without
icons.
* When right clicking, correctly select the underlying date/time.
* Meeting scheduling improvements; sends replies when you update
your attendance status, warnings if the user changes a meeting
they didn't create.
* Deleting a meeting with a right click will now offer to send a
cancellation notice.
* Can accept meeting replies from non-attendees (they become
attendees).
* Fixed work day so start can't be before end, its minimum 1 hour
and the unshaded zone is not rounded to the nearest time
division (allowing the work hours to be 0:00 to 23:59).
* Fixed task view to update completion status the same as the
editor.
* Fixed leap year problem with day of week.
* Handle "last day of the month" and "last Tuesday of the month"
type recurrences.
* Contacts
* It is now possible to specify which folders are used for
autocompletion globally.
* Improved address selection dialog (for sending mail and meeting
requests).
* Improved feedback for search results for all backends and the
UI.
* SSL/STARTTLS suport for LDAP has been added.
* Caches are built for local addressbooks to speed up
autocompletion.
* Fixed wombat/addressbook crashes dealing with autocompletion, it
should be much more stable now.
* Categories on LDAP are now stored using a multivalued attribute
(category) instead of a comma separated list (categories), so
searches on categories in ldap actually work. The old attribute
is deprecated and should not be used.
* Standardized some of the static properties of addressbooks, and
removed some local addressbook logic from the frontend.
* When editing contacts from the composer entries (To:, CC:), pop
up the right kind of editor based on the contact type.
* Much improved LDAP backend responsiveness and performance.

incorporation, faster mail display, and faster searches.
Overall, the new engine should work much better for larger
folders, and take considerably less space on the disk.

available.

"... Contains" rules, Evolution will search messages that
contain all of the words you specified, in any order.

remote folders.

flags. It is also possible to change the color in which a
specific message is displayed in the mail list.

string by just typing the first few characters.

process to find out whether or not to filter it.

status flags directly (at slightly performance penalty). See
options on the "spool" provider.
- Many IMAP related bugs fixed. IMAP now passes current folder
regression tests.
- IMAP body search results are now cached. Vastly improving
body search vFolder performance with IMAP sources.
- Optional IPv6 support.
- Progress bar added to subscribe dialogue.

improved. Many other internal cleanups inside Camel.
