Re: [Evolution] Ctl-Z = undo, Please !!
Patrick; I thought I remembered seeing a bug for this a while ago. On Fri, 2009-02-06 at 23:47 -0430, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: On Fri, 2009-02-06 at 20:15 -0500, William Case wrote: Ahh ...

Am I alone in wanting this? I know there was a bug (request for enhancement) filed against Evolution requesting an undo key or Edit tab undo for flagging read/unread mail. It shouldn't be difficult. If it went back 5 -20 read flags it would save me from a lot of grief produced by accidentally flagging a message as being read when in fact I hadn't read it yet. What's wrong with just unflagging it yourself (Shift-Ctrl-K)? Nothing if my cursor is still on it. But then I know where the mail is and I can read the message. Backing up to read rather than having the message remain bolded is the point. Just now I accidentally hit the '.' twice while being distracted. The cursor naturally jumped two messages and it took me a frustratingly long time (perhaps 10-20 sec) to go back up the list looking for the message I had missed. I see. I actually have mark read after N seconds turned off, so I mark messages as read explicitly (Ctrl-K), i.e. I use read to mean dealt with. I realize this isn't the way most people do it, but it does mean the kind of problem you mention doesn't arise (I can easily hit , to back to the previous unread message). On other occasions, I get zipping along flagging read messages (I could easily have 50 at a time) and then realize I should have stopped to read an earlier message rather than just breezing by, but I am unable to backup easily or accurately. I would actually love to have an undo for deletes, similar to what you describe for read. I occasionally delete something without intending to. Even though I can undelete it, I first need to find it ... BTW I requested this almost exactly four years ago. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271140. I see it's marked as RESOLVED INVALID, which I presume means we aren't going to do this. I am not a programmer but creating a small plugin that has a short stack of recent 'delete' or 'read' operations shouldn't be difficult. It is mainly a matter of removing or adding flags. I will re-file a Request For Enhancement this evening or tomorrow morning. Evolution is now in the hands of Gnome programmers, there are probably new people who can see the benefit of an 'undo' enhancement for 'delete' and 'read' and perhaps this request will get more user support. -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.3, Emacs 22.2.1 ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Evolution newbie questions
I've just finished an install of Gnome on Mandriva 2009. First time I've used Gnome and Evolution so pardon some probably simple questions. 1. I use a script for my signature. In all other MTA's I've used there is a -- before the signature, I don't see that here in Evolution. Where/how is it added? BTW, I added the -- manually on the below sig. So far I like Evolution, it appears to be a lot faster than Kmail, just takes some getting used to I guess.

Re: [Evolution] IMAP IDLE extension
Norman, Lets take it over bugzilla. Lemme read the code and get back there. -Srini.

It's a Good Thing (tm). It seems that support for the IDLE extension was planned for Evo 2.24 but didn't make it. It's now on the roadmap for 2.26.

Re: [Evolution] all i want...
Its beter, if it is stopped. Or make sure that no other task [filtering, downloading] is in progress while you are doing this. It might lock the db. -Srini.
