Hi, as far as I know, there is no list of extra plugins, at least nothing official. Maybe once Evolution gets that popular as Firefox and similar, whom deserve their own plugin page with 3rd-party plugins... By the way, I didn't get what the snooze/defer is meant for. Is it for sending or receiving? If sending, then Patrick with Adam are right, it's better to be done on the server side [1], because clients can be off, then the send time might be missed. Nonetheless, you can Edit-> Preferences->Composer Preferences->[ ] Send messages through Outbox folder. It's not per message, it's all or nothing option, but it can help in situations when you recall you wanted to add something and you can do that before the message is sent. Maybe it's not even close to what you are looking for, I do not know.

[Evolution] view lastest message first
Hello, I'm afraid this may be a stupid question, but I cannot find a solution: After having carried out a search in the messages corpus, I get back to the display of all messages with ctrl-shift-q (not my very favourite shortcut, by accident I terminated evo several times...). But then the view is focused at some message somewhere in the middle of the whole corpus - whereas I'd rather like to see the latest messages (which normally are sorted to the top on my evo). Can I set "always view latest messages" somewhere?

I read the message about it being in the right click drop down and, of course, when I clicked it wasn't there, no indication what so ever. So I went looking specifically for a message with an attachment .. then it appears.

Agree - USE TASKS. I have this fight with users constantly: the abuse of the INBOX. E-mail is a messaging platform and one's INBOX is exactly an INBOX; for events, tasks, notes USE calendars, tasks, and notes (aka: journals).

At least in the case of Gmail, that's what it does. The mail is effectively deferred until a later time, and then shows up in the Inbox. It's still visible of course, so the deferment is a scheduled activity that just changes its status. As you say, there's no standard way of doing this and I can see it being a mess to implement in a robust way. But isn't that what Tasks are for? On receiving the mail, use it to create a Task.

Re: [Evolution] Stripping big attachments
Where it says "SaveAs" to the right of the attachment at the bottom of the email, I was expecting a dropdown with options such as: "Detach", "Detach and Delete", "Save As". But anywhere will work.

Anything scheduled is, or should be, something which is performed by the server as the server is the only thing which is always there, always on, always connected. A client gets closed, powered off, loses connection, etc... therefore client side scheduling is a dodgy business and eventually results in a confused, frustrated, or angry user who blames the application [for what is straight forwardly a bad idea in the first place]. As it is a [best] server side function the client would need someway of telling the SMTP server to delay delivery. No such mechanism exists. Additionally, to be useful, the client would need a mechanism to enumerated scheduled messages and to cancel a scheduled message. No such mechanism exists. These mechanisms would have to be either added to the SMTP protocol [very unlikely] or shoe-horned into IMAP and thus be entirely implementation, if not site, specific. A highly implementation or site specific feature is not worth the effort of building into a 'generic' mail client. Open Source SMTP servers like Postfix have a Hold queue but there is no way for end-users to interact with that queue as you then have to deal with all the ensuing AAA issues (Authentication Authorization Accounting). Aside: A way does exist to do this, manually. Compose the message and save-to-draft, don't send. Then one can go the Drafts folder, open the message, and send it at any given time. I personally use the Drafts feature frequently. -- Adam Tauno Williams, awill...@whitemice.org Multi-Modal Activists Against Auto Dependent Development resisting the unAmerican socialists of the Motorist hegemony http://www.mmaaadd.org ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
