Evolution & EWS Calendar - linux

I am trying to view my main calendar using Evolution 3.10.3 and the EWS plugin.
I can create a new calendar when doing New->Calendar->Select my Exchange account->input a name. I can see the calendar created when using outlook.
However I cant find a way to get the main calendar under evolution.
If anybody was able to make it work, help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I found myself in the same situation. Then I re-setup the account and checked the "Automatically synchronize remote mail locally" on the Receiving Options tab and after that my calendar and tasks downloaded automatically.

How to create a Shared Leave Calendar to view leave availability

I wanted to get some advice on how to create a shared leave calendar for my workplace to try and make it easier to book leave.
At present, unfortunately we don't have a facility where we can view what leave availability there is and are going back and forth with rejecting leave due to staff not being able to see what they can book.
I was looking to create a calendar of some sort whether this is in Outlook, Excel, Access, I am not fussed but something that can be shared and also giving the users more coverage of availability.
Any advice on a solution or workaround would really be useful as im not sure how to start this off.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have access to Google Docs in your office? If yes, everyone
can have a view access of a common leave calendar (which can be an
excel file) and the supervisor can have write access so that only he
can make changes.
If you don't have access to google docs, the supervisor can create a 2nd calendar specifically for leaves) and share it with
the team so that team members can have a view access. You can find more
details on creating a new calendar here: [https://faqs.aber.ac.uk/146][1]
Google calendars can be shared across multiple accounts - you can view other people's calendars but not edit the information on them depending on permissions. So the leave calendar would be attached to the manager's account and they would need to approve changes but everyone could view. If someone wants to request leave they can add it as an event to their own calendar and 'Invite' the manager to the event. The manager can then accept the invite and add it to their own calendar which everyone would see.

Xpage to show resource calendar

I would like to create a small Xpages application that can show the calendar of our conference room. My idea is to have a web browser open on the Conference Room TVs so when somebody wants to get in the conference room they will see really quick that there is a meeting scheduled in 10 min.
I have tried using this template from OpenNTF - Link but I couldn't figure out how to pull the data from my Conference room resource into the calendar.
Any other idea how I can accomplish this?
Note: Having the user check the conference room schedule on LN is not an option. They already don't like LN.
Thanks,
Extension Library has a calendar control. It's basically the (8.5) iNotes calendar control, so data is loaded via a REST service. There are two methods of getting the data into a REST service, depending on whether or not the view you're picking up has columns with the programmatic names that are found in a Notes Mail calendar. The documentation in the XPages Extension Library book should cover the basics but, if you need clarification on any of the content, I wrote it.
Modifying the look and feel is not likely to be easy, because it's an XPage version of an IBM-specific Dojo-based control, which is possibly also why no version has been released to use the R9 look and feel.
Alternatively, it would be feasible to build a repeat control layout. Creating a ViewEntryCollection based on a DateRange is key to getting all entries between dates.

Add SharePoint Calendar to Google Calendar?

I am working on a project where I need to push SharePoint calendar events to Google Calendar. Could I apply this by adding SharePoint Calendar to Google Calendar? How can I do this?
There's is no out of the box solution for this however it is discussed here which will help you to accomplish this. Note that you will need to be or will require a developer to do this.

Move SharePoint Events to Google

I need to move SharePoint events to Google Calendar. So if an event is created on SharePoint, it’ll appear to our client on his Google Calendar. If you tried it before, could you please share with me your experience?
There's no out of the box solution for this however this will help you to solve this. I do suggest having a SharePoint specialist or developer work on this task.

using mail server to communicate with jira using api

im new to jira and its mail handlers.i want to use the jira's mail handlers to scan two folders in my mail box.and update two projects related to those folders. and i did that.
but now i want to extend that functionality.i want to keep the mails in those folders (stop mail handlers from deleting it after processing) and make it able to move issues/tasks across projects simply by moving the associated mail from the folder to the other folder. resulting in deletion of the original issue/task from that project and creating it in the other folder. please help in making this a possibility.
for those who didnt understand my problem: imagine im sending a cv for the post of php developer to a mail. when the reciepent checks it, he puts it in the php folder in his mailbox.so then a task is created in the project php developers. but next the reciepents thinks im more suitable in web developement rather than in php. so he just moves the mail from php folder to the web folder.so the existing task in php project gets deleted and a new task is created under web developement project. can i do this? if so how? please guide me..
Update
sigh..
i dont know how to work with corporate people. now the situation has changed. i hope you could help me with this one.sorry about the sudden change in the question..again...
now my boss wants sth like this.
i created a mail client using imap function to access mail services and retrieve those mails to a web function. theres no problem in that. but now my boss wants to handle jira through that same app aswell. means as like the my question when moving, putting a mail to a folder the app it self should comunicate with jira and make the necesary issue creation and deletion.. is this possible #Kuf?? if so please help. because my deadline is due Wednesday. and im almost there to panic..lol..please forgive me for changing questions like this. as it is not my will..
edit
I have seen that rest api does this. but how to use it? any answers?
The simplest way I found was to receive the emails in your main account and forward them to a second account, while saving a copy on the mail server. Than, tell Jira to pull the emails from the second email.
UPDATE
In the past, I've looked for a way to change Jira's email handler functionality, as you can see in this question here. It is impossible to achieve what you're asking using Jira's email handler because the way it works, it does not keep records of which emails were already read, Jira's service checks for new emails, ignores emails according the pre-defined filters (spam or user defined), handles the rest of the emails, and deletes them so it won't process them again.
The way I can think of to get the functionality you want is to re-write the email handler, you can get the source code, re-write it, and build it into your Jira app.
Another way, which i find easier, is to get all the emails into Jira, and from within Jira move the issues from one project to another. You can even create pre-defined buttons using Jira Scripting Suite to easily move issues between projects (create a post function and attach it to workflow transition).
If you need any help let me know. Good luck!
EDIT 2
Which Jira version do you use? which actions are you planning to do using the remote API? Jira REST API is the newest, but some of the old APIs have capabilities that are lacking in REST. To try and decide which API suits you, have a a look at JIRA Remote API Reference.
If you decide to use the REST API, I suggest that you read Jira's Getting Started with REST manual, which shows how to use the REST API. For the full documentation check out JIRA REST API documentation (make sure to use the right version according to your Jira version).
