Just an idea... Yes and yes. I dont know if there are any 'plans' as such, but it is something I would like to see available at some point. The idea's i've had have been driven at the camel end. But this is because it would simplify implementation mostly, but it would only work for email. possibly: - another camel provider - manages indices of folders which are kept 'online', but which can be stored/restored from backup media - archival backup procedures (e.g. tar file or just gzip mbox), "moving folder to offline archive" - restore procedures "moving folder from offline to online archive" - when online, folder can be used as normal, possibly read-only - normal filtering and operations (perhaps with some added stages) can be used to manage moving files to and from online archives(?) - have archive/restore somewhat configurable. e.g. you could have restore being a wget to a mailing list archive, and backup just deleting the local copy. As usual, the problem is the gui. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

If Evo could read gzipped files, this could be accomplished by gzipping archived mail and creating a vfolder with the contents of the active folder plus those of the gzipped folder.

Re: [Evolution] Archive function?
Outlook does indeed allow the user to archive old email based on cut-off dates. I believe that one can append to the archive file as well (that is, archive things once each month to the archive file). To echo the request, this is something that I'm really missing in Evo.

[Evolution] Idea: Pens for highlighting emails
Hi, Here's an idea that you might want to consider implementing in Evolution. I will find it very useful and others might too. I don't know of any email client that has this feature yet. The feature: Provide a highligher pen (or pens) on the toolbar. Clicking on it will turn the cursor into a highlighter. Selecting a piece of text in an email would then highlight the background behind the text in light-blue, light-red or light-yellow. This would be saved without changing the actual text of the email that was received. It should be possible to change the view to toggle between displaying and hiding these highlights. The reason: I am subscribed to many mailing lists and there is a lot of junk but also some good stuff. I can already mark the entire message as important, but if it is long, then it would be nice to mark passages or sentences that I would later like to look at again. Please let me know if you would consider implementing it. Regards, Evert ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
[Evolution] Changing message body font size
Hello All, I'd like to change the font used to display messages in Evolution. I've tried two methods so far: 1. use the Gnome control center to change the font for the HTML Viewer applet 2. use my .gtkrc.mine file to specify a default font These methods each work, either partially or with side effects. Method #1 seemed to change only the message headers -- increasing the font size of the HTML Viewer increased the font size of the message headers, but not the message body. Is this a bug? Method #2, specifying a default font to Gtk, did change the font for the message body, but of course it also changed the font size of the message list itself, the toolbar fonts, etc. I'd like to specify a font *just* for the message body, and not dictate the font for all these other areas of the interface. So, suggestions? Are there specific font / widget classes I can use to set the font for just the message body, just the message list, just the toolbar, etc.?

Also, when I go in to the Subscribe to Folders part of evolution, I see all my folders showing as subscribed. I have to un-subscribe from all of them and then re-sub them all. This is what I see in evolution-mail (while in verbose mode): received: * OK optical.mindstorm.com IMAP4rev1 v12.264 server ready sending : A0 CAPABILITY received: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4REV1 NAMESPACE IDLE SCAN SORT MAILBOX-REFERRALS LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT received: A0 OK CAPABILITY completed sending : A1 LOGIN xxx xxx received: A1 OK LOGIN completed sending : A2 LIST Mail "" received: * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" "" received: A2 OK LIST completed sending : A3 LSUB "" "*" received: * LSUB (\NoInferiors) NIL INBOX received: * LSUB () "/" Trash received: * LSUB () "/" Mail/a_couter * BIG LONG LIST OF ALL MY FOLDERS HERE *** received: A3 OK LSUB completed sending : A4 LSUB "" Mail received: A4 OK LSUB completed sending : A5 LSUB "" INBOX received: * LSUB (\NoInferiors) NIL INBOX received: A5 OK LSUB completed sending : A6 STATUS INBOX (UNSEEN) received: * STATUS INBOX (UNSEEN 0) received: A6 OK STATUS completed /INBOX INBOX imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX sending : A7 SELECT INBOX received: * 201 EXISTS received: * 0 RECENT received: * OK [UIDVALIDITY 999015245] UID validity status received: * OK [UIDNEXT 13251] Predicted next UID received: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen) received: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\* \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen)] Permanent flags received: A7 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed Then it goes through and selects my INBOX and checks all the messages, etc. I also see these warnings and about 30 more like them, not sure if they are pertinent to this or what: Bonobo-WARNING **: Serious exception on node_set '$invalid path to XML user interface element' of '0' to '/commands/ViewLoadImages#sensitive' Bonobo-WARNING **: Serious exception on node_set '$invalid path to XML user interface element' of '1' to '/commands/ViewFullHeaders#sensitive' Bonobo-WARNING **: Serious exception on node_set '$invalid path to XML user interface element' of '1' to '/commands/ViewNormal#sensitive' Any help, suggestions, etc would be appreciated.

re: [Evolution] Layout of Summary & General Calender improvements,comments ppl!
I, personally would like to see some of the changes mentioned. Prioritizing of scheduled items over weather/news - the sorting of tasks (even color coding) by priority. I love the idea of the location being listed in the summary (save a few clicks here and there.) (Who knows maybe even a direct link to any contact referenced in the appointment?) I also like the colorcoding ideas for the calendar overview/week views. Lately, I've been looking for ways to reach the following idea... I do tech support for a number of businesses and individuals - as such I'm at home some days, out some days on call, etc.. The days I'm out from one appointment to the next I need to start the day by printing up the days schedule/plus the contact entries for everyone that I will see or need to call that day (which includes phone numbers/directions/other comments/etc.) What I would LOVE to see is some capability to scan a days appointments (and maybe task due dates)(as part of a cron job?) determine the location and give the option to automatically print a summary (at a given time - say 7:30 am) as well as automatically print out the contact information for those explicitly listed in the days schedule (hopefully in a neat and tidy summary so we don't burn too much paper.Maybe a 1 to 2 page summary depending on how heavy the schedule is.) Of course, it would default to NOT printing this everyday as I know there are a lot of people out there that might not utilize this at all. An extension of this would be the automated scheduling of printing a task list. Say you have a checklist to go through at the first of every month - create a new folder in evolution with items of type task - then schedule automated printing to have it ready for you when you need it. (or even say, a grocery list for example - say you hit the grocery every Saturday afternoon and instead of 30 slips of paper throughout the week to keep track of everything you forgot last time - you use a task folder in evolution - then schedule it to print up the list every Saturday at noon. Again completely customizable would be the hope.) I don't know, something approaching this may already be possible through scripting/cron. (If so, I'd love to be enlightened!)

Now I don't bother anymore and skip spellchecking. I can live with that, but I would sure appreciate language autodetection to start using spellchecking again. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[Evolution] Multiple Calendars + languages
Hello, I'm using Evolution also to add my tasks, and my dates. But now I want to add the dates of my girlfriend (school and so on) and of my little girl (2,5 years old) where she is and when she has something to do (doctor, etc..) So I'd like to see which thing is for whom and so on... Is it possible to add different colours for different cathegories of dates and tasks? And Second: I'm writeing emails in German and in English. Gnome is configured for german. So Evolution starts in german and when I'm writeing english mails - so it says every word is underlined from the Spellchecker. Is there a way to select my current language of an email (or autodetect after the first sentence?)
