[Evolution-users] O365 Calendar refresh and closing app problem

[Manfred Jehle]

Thanks Milan

Removing the ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<office365-account-uid>/ directory
looks to solve the eMail problem.

About the update: will be the 3.58.X update in the common ubuntu
update?
Can I download the evolution-3.58.1.tar.xz and update it directly? Is
there a description how to update?

Kind regards
Manfred
