[Evolution] Evo 2.8, new IMAP code new vertical split-view
Hi, I have installed Evo 2.8 on my desktop and laptop (debian ubuntu) since a few days, and I have a quick comments to do: - on the desktop (big 24 screen) the vertical split-view is really better. I don't use the 2-lines-per-message presentation, but otherwise this (long-awaited) change is really welcome. - on the laptop, the IMAP code has never been particularly good but in 2.6 it was really awful to the point of being unusable: Evo was constantly refreshing its IMAP folders. In 2.8 it works well and I'm not forced to use the webmail anymore. There are still little weirdnesses in 2.8 (e.g. no more selected message after pressing DEL) but overall I like it. Thanks a lot guys ! Xav ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Loads of the stuff is from the same place, so filtering should not be a problem. Same here, and my Bayes db is almost 2 years old. I must have marked at least 50 to almost a 100 with hilburn in the subject line and they still get through. I am running a experiment right now, I cleared out the junk folder. I am not marking any message as Junk, I move it to a Spam folder I created. And then I am letting Spamassassin mark the messages that are determined to be junk. Right now there are 276 in the Junk folder and 227 that I moved to the temp Spam folder. I have emails forwarded from work to my home server and some of them have the SPAM subject re-write and they still don't get marked as spam. This is ultimately why I moved to bogofilter over spamassassin as my mail filtering setup. We (Gentoo) optionally patch bogofilter in place of spamassassin as the spam filter plugin, because you cannot have more than one spam filter plugin at a time. The patch for 2.7/2.8 is available here if people are interested: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dang/evolution-2.7.3-bf-junk.patch.gz I've been using it for over a year and a half now, and it has a much much better hit rate than spamassassin had, it is much quicker to filter, and I don't periodically have to killall spamd. I know there's at least one other bogofilter plugin floating around out there. Daniel I have noticed also that spamassassin does not filter in two systems I run either. What are the points to tweak for it in Linux (SUSE 10.1)? Is there also a bogofilter patch for Evolution 2.6.0 (SUSE 10.1)? Can more than one spam filter be used in conjunction to one another; what the one does not get another may. How are updates done for bogofilter under YaST, and is there some central database of other junk mails found by filters that can be incorporated into my filter? Are there other alternatives to spamassassin and bogofilter, that work similarly to a virus scanner that gets updated for recognised mails by other users? Such a system was started by Cloudmark, which used to be free but went commercial. :-) Al ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] No Beep, No Copy
I am using Evo 2.6.0 with SLED 10 regression? from Open 10.1 and I have more tweaks in this supposed stable version than the Open SuSE 10.1 version. 1. The beep on new mail does not function 2. moving to play this sound on arrival does not work - except when I move the mail from the inbox to a folder on some computers 3. If I send mail and almost immediately shut down the program crashes. 4. highlight, copy and paste into a new window does not work I am running Evolution 2.6.0 on HP Pavilion a822n's, Acer Ferrari 4000's and a couple of Toshiba laptops. These failure modes are consistent across all the network. John ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

What are the points to tweak for it in Linux (SUSE 10.1)? Unfortunately, because of the way that junk filters are built for evo, the only option right now is to patch the source and build from source. Is there also a bogofilter patch for Evolution 2.6.0 (SUSE 10.1)? Gentoo has one: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/evolution-2.5.5.1-bf-junk.tar.bz2 I don't actually use Suse. Can more than one spam filter be used in conjunction to one another; what the one does not get another may. How are updates done for bogofilter under YaST, and is there some central database of other junk mails found by filters that can be incorporated into my filter? No, bogofilter keeps a wordlist for each account. It learns the same way spamassassin does, by clicking junk and not-junk. Are there other alternatives to spamassassin and bogofilter, that work similarly to a virus scanner that gets updated for recognised mails by other users? Such a system was started by Cloudmark, which used to be free but went commercial. There are tons of spam filters, but all work like either bogofilter or spamassassin, as far as I know. I'm not aware of any other junk plugins for evo.
