I can't see where Evolution is pointing to for Maildir because the "Edit" button is grayed out. the mbox points to /var/mail/<username>. There's also a /var/spool/mail/ if I look in the /var directory, I'm not sure which is in the on this computer. I was asking the add user to a mail group because it's about the only thing I haven't tried. And the bug reports were done via Debian Bug report tool. I wouldn't know where to go for WebKit GTK to file a bug, I could find the page I guess. I assumed if the Distro maintainers couldn't fix it at their level and needed to they would advance it to the correct group? But we all know what happens when you assume. -Tim -- <tmcconnell...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
