[Evolution] Alternative to Evolution's trash handling
Dear evolution developers, a large number of users seems to be disappointed [1] by Evolution's trash handling, which - according to [1] - also seems to cause issues with some broken IMAP server implementations. Are there any development efforts for an alternative trash handling playing nicely with broken IMAP server implementations (discussed under [2], referenced by [1b]), which could be activated via a simple button? I'm just asking because I've read a user request in a GNOME 2.28 release news [3] on a popular German website and the myriad of comments under [1] suggests that many users would appreciate the possibility of a different trash handling. best regards, Christian Neumair [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061 [1b] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061#c63 [2] http://deflexion.com/2006/05/imap-way-of-deleting-message [3] http://www.pro-linux.de/news/2009/14737.html -- Christian Neumair cneum...@gnome.org ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The whole IMAP deletion issue is an example of the difference between 'de facto' and 'de jure' standards. IMAP defines deletion in a very specific way -- the 'de jure' standard -- and Evo implements the definition. Most other MUA's follow the real Trash folder model, i.e. they don't fully implement IMAP but use a 'de facto' standard. The 'de jure' way is elegant and efficient, but not interoperable with many other MUAs. The existence of an option would help with this (but probably not reduce the number of times we have to answer questions about it :-) poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Transient Alerts in Evolution
- In the calendar, the alerts that pop up are transient and only last a few seconds. Is there a way to make them stay up until I dismiss them? Since I just asked the same question a few weeks ago, here's the answer I got. It works! https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/81897 Barbara ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Yes, in your account preference in the first tab you can choose your default signature. Also, if I am replying to a message it appears to put my sig at the bottom of the entire message, whereas I want to appear at the bottom only of my text. The bottom of your text would always be at the bottom of the entire message if you follow the recommanded way to reply to e-mails (bottom-post) : http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Best regards. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
