Re: [Evolution] help with filters
That being said, when I re-setup my accounts from scratch I needed to setup my filters in order to control the flood of mails I get. I used the right-click menu (Create Rule From Message - Filter Based On Mailing List). I then set the directory to move the message to which is a folder on the IMAP server where my account is located. The problem comes around when I try to manually trigger the filter on a relevant message by pressing ctrl+y - in fact the message in question is the one I created the filter from in the first place. When I do this I get a message at the bottom of the Evolution window stating that it failed to apply the filter (or some similar wording). Hi Jared, Just a curiosity, since you said you are using IMAP: Can you please show us the piece of the ./evolution/mail/filters.xml that has the rule? I just noticed something, but I do not know since when this has happened: the last filter I created (moving to an IMAP target) had the target uri wrong, pointing to the local mail. For example: actionset part name=move-to-folder value name=folder type=folder folder uri=email://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Tests/Mail/URI/ /value /part part name=stop/ /actionset The actual target URI should have been uri=email://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Tests/Mail/URI/ Again, I do not know since when, and will run Evo 2.24 to see what happens (I am running trunk). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Wow, yea, I just checked all of my filters.xml files and they all look
similar to your post with [EMAIL PROTECTED] in it. So, I will need to file
a bug in ubuntu for this as well as gnome.org? Also, how do I figure
out the correct [EMAIL PROTECTED] to replace in the uri?
You can run, from a terminal,
gconftools-2 -g /apps/evolution/mail/accounts
This will list all accounts you have defined. You can also try:
gconftool-2 -g /apps/evolution/mail/accounts | awk -F '=' '{print $2
$3}'
For me, this works. Then it is a question of choosing picking.
Yes, please open a bug in Launchpad, and one on b.g.o. If you give me
the bug #s, I will confirm mark triaged the LP one, and set a watch on
the b.g.o one. Please also state your version of Evo. You can run
dpkg -l evolution\*
And this will show the main packages versions.
I actually should have stopped and looked at it when I got hit, some
time ago, but...
It is good to know that this is present on on 2.24.
A word of caution: I just tried it here, on trunk: selected an email
that was ultimately destined to trash, and set a filter to move it to a
brand new IMAP folder (and the rule got set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Run the
filter and... the email vanished. Completely. Nowhere to be seen, not
even in trash.
Thank you,

[Evolution] Newbie Questions
Hi, I'm a newbie Evolution user. I am also a Windows XP user, hence I am using the version that has been ported to Windows. I have numerous questions, and have not been able to find the answer by looking at the documentation or the archives of this mailing list. They are as follows : (1) How do you import mail messages from Outlook Express ? (2) How do you make Evolution the default mail client, when Outlook Express is also on the system ? (can't just install OE AFAIK, its integrated into the OS) (3) How do you set unread mail messages to display in bold ? (...this feature appears to be available, according to the Reading EMail screenshot on the Evolution website) (4) How do you completely delete a mail message (as opposed to sending it to the Trash) ? (5) How do you MOVE a mail message to another folder (as opposed to COPYING, which is what happens when you click and drag) ? (6) How do you save multiple messages in one hit, for backup purposes ? Any help appreciated. Thanks and regards, Andrew Fortune, Melbourne, Australia___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Evolution backup/restore problem
Hi all, I just upgraded my main system from OpenSuSE 10.3 to 11.0. I use evolution for my calendar and mail, and as I've done in the past, I made a backup of my home directory before doing the new install. Then I copied back the contents of ~/.evolution, ~/.gconf/apps/evolution, and ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution. I thought that was all I had done in the past, and that had been sufficient to restore all my mail configurations, folders, etc. But this time it doesn't seem to have worked. When I start evolution, it seems to come up as a new install, and starts taking me through the wizard to set it all up. Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong?

Re: [Evolution] Newbie Questions
Sorry but I looked here, and found answers to none of the questions, except (4) which Evolution cryptically refers to as Expunge. ?
