Hi, evolution cannot be configured to do that. I'd not do any such option, either you want to send a secure mail or you do not. Once sending a mail securely and once not feels wrong. And what in cases where you send to multiple recipients and one of them doesn't have the public key? Splitting the message and send it encrypted to some recipients and unencrypted to other recipients feels like bad idea, thus there would be "all or nothing", which is bad too, especially if you agreed with the other recipients to always encrypt messages. The way it is done currently is that you've the things under control, you always know whether the message had been sent encrypted or not. I prefer to have things under my control, without surprises and such.

Re: [Evolution] POP to IMAP conversion
Thanks Patrick. This looks straight forward enough. I especially like the idea of dragging the folder from POP to IMAP. There doesn't appear to be a requirement to "import". Just FYI, the provider is runbox. I like them a lot. I'm using their IMAP now and it works great.

Thunderbird does that. But I turned it off. You may not want to do it either. It turns out that most people I have GPG keys available for would rather be able to read their email through a web interface than be secure. They only use it for sending passwords and such like. -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] encrypt if possible
Dear all, (how) can Evolution (be configured to) always encrypt emails if the recipients' public keys are available? There is an option to "always encrypt", but I don't have/want/need the public keys of most of my contacts (and most of them have none anyway). If that option is enabled, I get an error message every time sending an email to a contact for which no public key is available. From my expectations, this is correct behavior. However, what I'd also expect is the availability of an option saying "always encrypt emails when sending to contacts for which public keys are available". Can this be achieved?

No. The backup tool will restore the same mail structure it backed up. It's just a compressed archive. "Converting" to IMAP is a misnomer. IMAP and POP are mail access protocols, so what you need to do is fetch mail using IMAP rather than POP. Here are some outline instructions off the top of my head. Test carefully before deleting anything, and if you're unsure of anything than use the backup tool as a safeguard before making changes. It would be helpful to know what mail provider this is, but in any case the first issue is to find out if they support IMAP. Assuming they do, go to Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts and disable mail fetching for the POP account. Then create a new mail account in Evolution using the same name and account details as for the POP version, but obviously changing the access method to IMAP. Now you want to convert the old POP mail to IMAP. There are two cases: 1. Mail which is still on the server, either because it has not yet been fetched or because the POP configuration included "leave on server", should (in theory) be immediately visible in the IMAP account with no conversion required. Of course YMMV because server implementations may have their own quirks. 2. Mail which had previously been fetched and is stored locally can be simply dragged to the new account structure. Optionally, you may want to create a new structure on the IMAP server and upload the mail to it, which can be done in a similar way. If the POP account had filters, e.g. for sorting into local folders, they will need to be recreated to use IMAP folders. You should also consider whether you want to enable off-line access for some folders, because otherwise the mail will stay on the IMAP server. Once that's all done, you can delete the POP account configuration in Evo. Hope I haven't forgotten anything obvious (or obscure). Feel free to ask if you have any doubts. 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

So, backup the mail (for safety), delete the POP account, create the IMAP account, once that's all done and everything is happy, copy whatever mail you want from "On this computer" into the IMAP account. There's no need to remove the mailbox under "On this Computer", and if it's the Inbox, you probably shouldn't anyway as it'll just cause confusion later.

[Evolution] POP to IMAP conversion
Hello group My wife has an Evolution mailbox configured as POP3. I want to convert this implementation over to IMAP.

Re: [Evolution] EVOLUTION Don't display and don't remember the passwords correctly after restauration
Hi Andre, hi Thank you very much to spend your time for me. And you were right !! My 2nd issue was due by gnome-keyring package that wasn't installed. As soon as I have installed it the problem was wipe out. Thank a lot again ! About my version of Evolution is the 3.30.5 And about my 1st issue: the size of the icons I will try to explain or attach a screenshot. But it is possible that I also miss a gnome library ... So, It's about all the icons in Evolution that they are wery small unless I change the caracteres size in the configuration panel (KDE ou GTK) Here a screen capture: In the same time I will check on the developper corner of the Evolution official website if I can see a list of needed library and compare with my system... But I don't know about the library and sometime the library name is not so explicit... ;-)) I will try... So, thank you again for the help !
