[Evolution] evolution seems to eat the mail of one of my accounts
hi i'm running evolution with multiple mail accounts. all accounts work with the exception of 1. i have a cgi script that uses sendmail to generate a sales order. the mail gets to the server as i can see it with squirrel webmail, but when evolution checks the account it deletes the mail and then does not collect it (it just disappears). if i send an email to that adress with my hotmail account or something, evolution collects the mail correctly. if i use thunderbird to check that mail account there is no problem. i pulled the subroutine out of the original cgi script and used it to send test emails (though a sub domain i have on the server) and evolution collects them fine. also, if i grep the .evolution/pop/account... directory recursively for the email address of the sender, the mail is there!! why wont evolution show it? i'm so stumped on this!! cheers andrew muhling ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Message preview not displaying correctly in evolutuon Debian 2.22.3.1
Evolution set to use message preview, with classic view and now for some reason Evolution is not displaying all the messages in a folder. Switch to vertical view and all messages in folder are displayed. Do not understand why the classic view is now not displaying messages. Googling does not turn up anything specific ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Heh. Not a wild guess at all, Milan ;-) Indeed, just rebuilding evolution/plugins/pst-import will do the trick. But this would not rebuild the UBuntu package (either evolution-plugins, or evolution-plugins-experimental, I do not remember which), and I wanted to give the *easiest* way to get it done. Of course, this is not the *fastest* way... And I was not sure how much knowledge the reporter has on building from source, anyway.

I'm sorry, I just checked and all the subscriptions are stored in ~/.evolution/mail/nntp/.ev-summary binary file, with names of all known groups on the server. I've no idea which flag means subscribed and which not, maybe making a copy of that file (because deleting means losing all subscribed folders) and garbling name of the offending folder might help a bit. A gross workaround. When something goes wrong put back backuped file. Feel free to open an enhancement request in http://bugzilla.gnome.org to be able to manage subscriptions on nntp in offline. Should be doable for accounts which have downloaded folder list.

I have forty-eleven other newsgroups subscribed on the same account. I really don't want to have to subscribe to them all again. This is just lame. > Not so cool but should work.

Well, evolution is not locked up and the status bar at the bottom says it's updating folders from the NNTP server, and evolution is otherwise responsive. I don't doubt that it's making progress, I just don't care to wait for it to download over a hundred thousand message headers, nor do I care for it to consume the space it will take to store them locally. What is really needed is an ability to only download some limited number of recent headers, like Pan does. Speaking of Pan, it would also be nice if Evolution and Pan could share their databases so that even though I might use either client, the data is the same. I doubt that will ever happen though. > As far as I tried to play with NNTP last time (approximately a > month ago), it downloads all the group names, but doesn't subscribe to > anything, it keeps all up to you. Yes. But it doesn't tell you when you are about to subscribe to a group with over a hundred thousand articles in it that it's going to take a week to download all of the headers and consume many gigabytes of space to store them and then also doesn't let you change your mind and unsubscribe (until the download is complete) once you discover this and the downloading has started. b. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, maybe I'm wrong, but I've a wild guess. Plugins are supposed to work separately from main evolution code, thus I think that installing devel packages for evolution, (and maybe also evolution-data-server and gtkhtml), and source package for evolution only, and not compile&install whole evolution, but only evolution/plugins/pst-import should work. Just a guess. Bye, Milan ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Probably no way to manage subscriptions manually, those are binary files, I'm afraid. What about running evolution with --offline, removing account, closing evolution, deleting ~/.evolution/mail/nntp/ and starting evolution with --online and reentering the account again? Not so cool but should work. > Thanx > b. > > [1] it just spins and spins and spins -- I suspect there is only a > single socket to the news server and the code that enumerates the > subscriptions is blocked behind the task of reading the group headers. What's your evolution version? Do you have debug info packages installed and can you provide some backtrace of that "it is doing 'something'" state? As far as I tried to play with NNTP last time (approximately a month ago), it downloads all the group names, but doesn't subscribe to anything, it keeps all up to you.

Yes. The PST-importer plugin will only build if the library (libpst) is available. So, right now on 2.26.0 Jaunty... there is no libpst available (because it has not yet been accepted), so Evolution 2.26.0 did *not* get the plugin. The easiest way to build your own Evolution: 1. install the libpst from the PPA (or download the sources from REVU, and build & install it locally). 2. 'sudo apt-get build-dep evolution' (this will install *all* build dependencies for Evolution) 3. 'sudo apt-get -b source evolution' (this will download the source Evolution package, and immediately build it. It will take some time). 4. The result of the build will be a series of '.deb's on the directory. Install them: 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb. You do not need to install the .ddeb. 5. restart Evolution.

[Evolution] removing a newsgroup subscription, manually
OK. Given that a) evolution catalogs an entire newsgroup when you add one and doesn't just let you specify some number of recent headers and b) that once evolution has started cataloging a newsgroup, there is no way to use the subscription manager to delete the subscription[1] can somebody describe what I would have to do manually (i.e. with evolution shut down of course) to get rid of an NNTP subscription? Thanx b. [1] it just spins and spins and spins -- I suspect there is only a single socket to the news server and the code that enumerates the subscriptions is blocked behind the task of reading the group headers. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
