Reinstalling Evolution (or indeed any Linux package) is almost never a useful thing to do as the specific settings are kept in your home directory and not changed by reinstallation. Version 3.12.x of Evolution is very out of date, so you should try to get a later version if it exists for your distro. You haven't said what kind of mail accounts you use (IMAP, POP, Exchange, ...). This makes a big difference in the possible causes of your problem. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
