This is my first post here and it is a long one. I did look at the index of previous posts but there is no way to search through all of them, so I truly do apologize in advance... but maybe, just maybe what I did has pushed out a bug you didn't know about before. This is complicated. I am sorry, but if you don't have all of the info, you will accuse me, potentially of hiding the relevant facts: Until seven days ago, and for thirty years prior to that, I was a user of Microsoft Office Outlook. (That's the client on the desktop, not the online service.) I had thirty years of business and personal correspondence in it. A lot of it in many, many folders and nested folders.) It is what kept me on Windows on this last PC when everything else I had was running Debian Linux. But then I saw that, maybe, I could actually import the PSTs into this release of Evolution. I had tried in the past and it had failed miserably. I tried anew and it worked on a test VM machine. It was all good and so I made the leap, reformatting the Windows 10 computer and put Debian 11.5 on it. I exported the data set from the VM and imported it into the physical Debian platform the VM was now running on. The gz package was 3.2GiB. I still have the VM and can run it, though I don't want to use it as a work platform. On the new platform, with the data imported (and all the data is there) only a day after I imported it, it no longer displayed any new mail. It says there is new mail via a notification popup, but there is nothing in the inbox or anywhere else. -- The versions of Evolution on the VM and the new install are the same. -- Both are running on Debian 11.5. -- On the VM Evolution still works. If I sent mail, it did get sent, but it also didn't appear in the sent folder or anywhere else. Every once and a while I got a UID error message about a problem, but it wasn't all the time. I used apt to remove the package. I deleted the folders, and then deleted the trash, rebooting the PC immediately after that. I ran the VM version for another day, (and it works to this moment, if I want to use the VM) and then made a fresh export from the VM version, sFTPing it to the physical machine. But the same problem existed on the re-installed version. I was on KDE Plasma, so I tried the same procedure all over again installing it under Gnome-X. No difference. The only difference between the VM and this platform is that one has a cinnamon desktop. I really wanted Evolution to work. It is now the repository for all I have done in these last thirty years, but unless there is a way to fix what ails this program, while it allowed me to make the move off Windows, it is now only a vault for old emails and that is not good. ══════════════════════════════ Ellis Michael "Mike" Lieberman | Blog <http://lieberman.blog.netwright.net:7080/> Purok 13, Morales Subd.
