The last time that I saw this was on a Linux system with an Nvidia GPU and it was not running the Nvidia binary drivers. The open source Nouveau drivers are very hit-and-miss. They often seem to work, but are unable to raise the card's GPU or memory clock which makes the performance really terrible. The VESA compatible drivers are even worse. If that might be affecting you then either install the Nvidia binaries, which should actually be easy with Ubuntu, or use the Intel iGPU if you have one and completely disable the Nvidia GPU by blacklisting the Nouveau driver. The only other thing I could guess at is that since Evolution uses KHTML (I think?) as its display and editor it uses more CPU than a regular text editor like gedit. If for some reason you are on a laptop and you intentionally locked down the clock speed to, say, 800 MHz for battery reasons then you can get behavior like very slow text editing. I know that I have seen Gnome / MATE plugins and widgets for controlling CPU clocks. Maybe you installed one of those and didn't realize you left it set to Power Save, Minimum, 800 MHz, etc. -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil ___ 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'm afraid not from the outside. One can run a little test program to figure it out, but it's not needed. The flatpak version does have it enabled. > So I might just be confused by the current evolution version being > listed as 3.32, but the runtimes being 3.30. or the docs are out of > sync. I see. The "runtime-version" means "what libraries are needed to build & run the software being built". It doesn't say what is built inside. There are also "branch": "gnome-3-32" in the .json file, which say what software is built. In any case, the best is the Help->About. I do not understand why the flatpak evolution would claim the error. Not being it the flatpak version I'd suggest to run the evolution-source-registry from the command line with debugging on [1], but the flatpak version has everything fresh. I'm out of idea (unless, I do not know, you accidentally ran the system evolution, instead of the flatpak evolution, or when the claim comes from other application than from evolution itself, still being it the host system application, not the flatpak one). > My apologies, I thought I hit group reply.

Hi, it depends on several factors, one being version of the Evolution (Help->About menu), another WebKitGTK+ version. There can be more factors involved. Sometimes, long time ago, there could be a problem with spell checking, thus I'd try to disable it. You can do that either in Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->Spell Checking tab->Check spelling while I type, at the bottom of that tab, or by deselecting all the languages in the message composer in Edit->Current Languages menu.

This morning, since this machine has been through a series of updates without reloading Mint 17.x -> 18.x -> 19.1, I created an evolution backup and uninstalled evolution, then reinstalled and loaded from the backup. The interesting thing is now I have 1 *.source file that has an Auth section for my gmail account, but doesn't have one for my G-Suite account.

I say 3.30, because a) that is the version listed in the commands listed on the evolution-flatpak page and b) in the json file used by the flatpak system "runtime-version" : "3.30". So I might just be confused by the current evolution version being listed as 3.32, but the runtimes being 3.30. or the docs are out of sync. > > Same failure to connect but NO error messages or dialogs. > > You can verify you run correct version in Help->About of the > Evolution. > Maybe, the page mentions 3.30 of the GNOME Platform/SDK, but it > doesn't > claim what version of Evolution it actually builds, which may be > confusing. About says 3.32.4 (flatpak gitc51c64f). Interesting, when I first start the flatpak, I get the Failed to authenticate: Data source “” does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication message, but once I close the message dialog, I never get it again. So short of paying attention to the connection icon next to each account, there is no indication that anything is not working. > Bye, > Milan > > P.S.: Feel free to reply only to the list (Ctrl+L in Evolution), I am > subscribed and I do reply to your messages through the list, not to > you > directly, too.

[Evolution] Evolution email really slow
Hi My first time on here and hope I'm doing the right thing. I've been using Evolution for years. I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu mate and Evolution. When typing an email there is a significant lag to the characters showing on screen. Any advice on what to do?
