Re: [Davmail-users] ical events are automatically disappearing when event time is reached

[Robert C. <cu...@no...>]

Mickael,
I see this in my settings:
Trash Keep Delay : 0
Send keep Delay: 0
Calendar past Events: 0

0 is not equilvanent to disabled, but means 0 days. Without claiming to have re-read your documentation thouroughly in the last three weeks (i did read it on initial setup) clicking on your handy "Help" button in the Setting page, and get to http://davmail.sourceforge.net/gettingstarted.html these must be the defaults:

Trash Keep Delay : 30
Send keep Delay: 90
Calendar past Events: 90

I don't recall changing these to 0. Duh. I just set them back and my iCal now shows past events.
Merci beaucoup!!

Your Davmail is most excellent, yet very low key. You should advertise more, it was pure happenstance I saw it mentioned last fall and decided to try it. It is great (for me) it is free, but I would gladly pay support/licence for the benefit it provides.

P.S. My gift back to you. For Snow Lepard anyway, http://davmail.sourceforge.net/osxdirectorysetup.html should point out that Directory Utility is tucked away in /System/Libray/CoreServices and is not in the Utilities folder. This stalled me out during my initial config.
