Hi all, before to reinstall evolution , I delete $HOME/.local/share/evolution and $HOME/.config/.evolution. The version 3.12.11 of evolution is the last version of Scientific Linux 7.2. I use either: 1)POP account with the problem that I cannot leave messages on the mail server 2)local account with the problem that I can not set the spool file.
I would understand if my Scientific Linux 7.2 is misconfigured and I must reinstall it Luigi Il giorno gio, 29/12/2016 alle 11.40 +0000, Patrick O'Callaghan ha scritto: > On Wed, 2016-12-28 at 20:36 +0100, luigi wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I use Evolution version 3.12.11 in a Scientific Linux release 7.2 > > (Nitrogen).
