Hi! I'm a new user of Evolution and I've found some issues when using over a (very) unstable and (very) slow connection.
The scenario : I'm using a 3G modem on a very busy network which is connected via satellite to the continental relay. The result is a very slow connection (4 to 6 Kbps) and very intermitent over daytime with many packet losses. This triggers too many timeouts - on every application -. For the curious : I'm talking about RapaNui (Easter Island) which is really a point in the middle of nowhere and it's actually my workplace. I'm a big fan of using webmails but, in this connectionless scenario, is quite impossible. So, i started to use Evolution. The main issue is regarding the background processing of the mails. Perhaps is a good choice not to have this issue anymore but, in my case, it's a headache. Normally i sit to send many mails so, if i let the windows opened, i began to cope with timeout problems and start to fill my screen with opened windows losing control of sent/unsent emails. I've tried working with the offline/online mode. It is useful but i still want to receive my emails as soon as the connection is up (remember intermitence) and i often forgot to reconnect Evolution each time. Well, for me always the "send in background" feature has been useful in these conditions so i really miss it in Evolution - and i don't want to migrate but to see Evolution's evolution ;) Another important feature, if the send in background make sense, is to remove popup messages when a mail cannot be successfully delivered. Popups needs attention and, in this case, will almost always be triggered. An indicator in the status bar like "Emails queued: 4" will be a delight, and perhaps a "silent mode" option to avoid popups. All these options with the corresponding warnings to the user. Well, I feel kind of idealistic lawyer fighting for a noble cause after reading the posts with the explanation of this removed feature, but i really think is - in certain conditions - a "must have". Regards to everyone and thanks for Evolution ! vm _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
