Hi again,
(hey, asking another question so soon already?)

The other half of our requirements is the automatic profile creation
in Evolution, on client side.

I suggest the following algorithm:

e-b checks for an existing evolution profile,
e-b finds a 'e-b' created profile and uses it.
e-b does not find a profile, but finds a text file with some
pre-determined 'option settings' and tries to create the profile with
the provided data.
e-b does not find anything usefull, it then 'could' execute a script
to warn the admin for the lack of profile.

I can help to test this implementation, giving helpfull opinions and
maybe (really maybe) by writing some code.

Thanks for reading,
Luis Correia

A.k.a - automatic account setup, right?

Does that now.

This needs to be implemented.

I think that I need to do the above anyway but it won't be for another
few weeks. Please keep bugging me and do file an enhancement bug at
"bugzilla.42tools.com" so that we do not forget about it.

Bug 15 has been created.

I confess I didn't read the bug guidelines first, but considering it
is an enhancment request, I feel fine about it.

Hope I was clear about my requirements.

Sure was. I've accepted the bug and will be sure to get it done before
too long (time permitting).

Thanks,
