Well, http/s and socks are different protocols. I see that the address resolution doesn't use the proxy setting. Would you mind to file a bug in GNOME bugzilla [1], thus it can be tracked, please? And more importantly, are you able to test any change I might make, please? I do not think I'm able to properly test it here, even the change is mostly straightforward.

The "buffer". You may have another name for it. When I ask for a paste, from whatever application, that string is pulled from the buffer and pasted into the working document. This has been the case for well over thirty years AFAIK. I don't know whether in current setups the buffer runs under Linux or under Gnome, but it crosses virtually all applications that can manipulate text. If I want to copy a URL from my main browser window, and paste it into the body of an email text message, then the buffer is involved. If I want to pull a quote from my quotes collection and load it into a LibreWriter doc, same same. andre: > Exact literal steps needed.

I've found that being on the bleeding edge uses up a lot of valuable hemoglobin :-) But from all I have read the last several years, I conclude that I am stuck with whatever version of EVO ships with that latest LTS. Everything I've seen about downloading and attempting to install the most current version of Evo into an Ubuntu distro and concomitant Gnome version which did not contemplate that EVO version suggest that I'm letting myself in for a nightmare. So as I have done for a long time, I'll settle for workarounds, and hope that succeeding distro versions might improve some aspects of the Evo experience. Why Ubuntu seems to stay so far back in versions is unknown to me. I have a basic working knowledge of the nuts and bolts, but nowhere nearly enough to tackle trying to install the latest stable Evo under an "older" distro, chasing down all the multitude of interacting artifacts and endless dependencies that seem to be required to make it march.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution and tor network proxy
Anyone who knows if Evolution has the capability to resolve an .onion address when going through a custom proxy?

Not in the "Cc" > box. I suppose you mean the text is pasted into the message body, instead into the place which has focus. That sounds known and fixed, but I do not have any particular bug reference handy, I'm sorry.

What is "the buffer" and how do you "copy" and how do you "paste"? Exact literal steps needed.

[Evolution] copy & paste oddness
Ubuntu 16.04 Evo 3.18.5.2 This only showed up in the latest version - never a problem previously. When I copy an email address into the buffer, it refuses to paste in any of the address fields. I find it difficult to believe that anyone could have conceived this as an enhancement, so would have to conclude it is a bug. I have browsed several Evo sites and have found no mention of it. I tested it again just now, and here turned up a curious phenomenon; I can place the cursor squarely at the first character of the "Cc" field, visually verify that the cursor *is* there, and when I click on "paste", the pasted string pops up at the point where the cursor last resided before I placed it in the "Cc" box. Not in the "Cc" box. ?? Is this perhaps a Gnome problem, rather than an Evo one? I ask because I assume cursor behaviour is more the rule of Gnome than Evo. ??

Re: [Evolution] Exchange setting

Hi, how do you connect there? Is it evolution-mapi or evolution-ews? I'm unsure from the error message about the public folders. Being it evolution-ews (Exchange Web Services), it can be that the server decided to split the synchronization of the folders into multiple chunks, which evolution-ews doesn't seem to have covered, but it also can read many folders without it, definitely more than 5 (I have more than 30 and they all show up in Evolution). You can run evolution with: $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution &>log.txt which will show raw communication between the server and Evolution, where you might search for SyncFolderHierarchy requests and responses. It can also contain IncludesLastFolderInRange in the response, which shows whether the folder list had been split or not. As the update is done iteratively, then you might delete ~/.cache/evolution/mail// folder before running with logging, thus it's all downloaded from scratch, including the folder hierarchy synchronization request.

Evolution, or indeed any IMAP client, has no idea about, nor any control over, the format that the mail is stored on the server. I know it looks that way, but it just doesn't. The culprit here is Dovecot - it is a very versatile mail server and consequently can be a bit complex to setup. If you haven't done so already, enable logging on Dovecot so you can see what it's doing when the client connects - perhaps also enable IMAP debug on Evolution so you can match the two data streams up so you get a complete picture of what's happening.
