I agree that it might not be simple due to present design, but, otoh, having recurring tasks is such a basic feature since we are all surrounded with them in normal life - rent, different bills etc. all fall in that category. > I had a chat with one (I think) student about recurring tasks few > months ago.

If taskwarrior would have decent Android client I'd look no further from taskwarrior, but having something in Evo would be great.

[Evolution] Unable to retrieve message.
I have a problem with Evolution Mail (version 3.16.5) that is steadily getting worse. I get lots of (typically) ... "Unable to retrieve message. Cannot get message 1445510505.6156_169.ceri from folder /home/mike/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.House.BT Bills: No such file or directory" If I click away to a different message in a different folder, then come back to the email giving this message, then the email appears OK. So now having read the message, if I shut down Evolution, and restart, then an email that was giving error, appears again as unread, with the "Unable to retrieve message". Also If I delete one of these messages, it simply reappears on the next start of Evolution. I have tried a backup and restore. Makes no difference. At this point I guess I should say I've got about 15 years worth of emails here - about 12Gb in ~/.local/share/evolution/mail Has anyone got any hints or tips for sorting this out ?

I put some information in the task description how long the interval until the next due date should be set. You can copy tasks around via drag&drop, thereby keeping a copy of past completions.

I run Evolution under KDE as I can't stand the rest of the Gnome UI. There is an ongoing issue regarding keyrings but it's manageable. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I had a chat with one (I think) student about recurring tasks few months ago. He was implementing it for another project, which worked in a similar way as in the taskwarrior. I thought it was for gnome-todo, but it didn't make it into 3.18.1 (I did not find it there). > Any hints to workaround in order to stay with GNOME/Evolution? I'm not aware of anything, except of the obvious "file couple future occurrences ahead and do not forget to file more when you reach the last". Maybe other users do have better options.

The mbox format is just a set of messages, conforming to RFC 822, with a certain-formatted separator between the messages. What you really want to do is to either save the message content (the patch) as a text file and only then do any processing on it, or use the tool of your version control system, which might be git-am in case of the git, which is supposed to deal with such things in the messages.
