[Evolution] Ubuntu 20.04 and Evolution
Hello, I left the Windows OS after some 30 years and am in the final stages of setup. I installed Evolution and imported my Outlook database into it. I have several email accounts in use (my wife and I are sharing one computer). Those accounts are set into a Unified inbox. All the accounts, including my Gmail account are set as POP accounts, by choice. I tried to find answers in the documentation, but am left with 3 open questions: 1) How to setup HTML as default 2) How to get Evolution to remove all deleted items from the Trash folder Automatically upon exiting. In Outlook, this was my setup, now, I forget to do it manually each time. 3) At installation time, I created all my email accounts, including my Gmail account, they are all listed under the 'Accounts' header. But, my Gmail account has also an extra entry at the end and it seems to be default for new messages, crafts etc... How can I get rid of this?

Adding the missing bits, in order to view the POP communication, you should launch evolution with the variable CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3, e.g. from a terminal: CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3 evolution (redirect to a file, etc. at wish) see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging for more general information Actually, as there is no encryption, a packet sniffer like wireshark should also be able to show you the full communication. In fact, I wonder if your troubles might be related to evolution not liking to send the credentials over a channel with no encryption (did it ask for your pop password? AFAIK, it will store separately the POP3 and SMTP ones).

I don't know what this does, but I used to need it to get POP mail with an older server.

If you understand POP that might help you. Otherwise, if you are using POP with leaving email on server, I have seen that screw up several email clients, not just Evolution. POP is simply not intended to be used as a permanent email store for multiple clients. Clients get confused when other clients change the mailbox. Or it can go the other way. I believe it was one of the Microsoft mail clients that repeatedly fetched ALL of the POP messages in order to verify that it already had copies in the local storage. Every time that it synced. It didn't lose track of messages but it did use hundreds and hundreds of megabytes of unnecessary data traffic. If POP is all that you have, I strongly recommend setting up an IMAP server and doing a full fetch and delete of your email from your ISP POP into it on a schedule. Then point all your email clients at the IMAP service. -- 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

[Evolution] Evolution will send but not receive Emails
I am a very new Linux user. Decades ago I was an HP-UX sysadmin, but starting again I went the Zorin route and I'm very happy. I very much like Evolution. It's a suite of useful functions and I've enjoyed getting to know it. BUT, I can't manage to receive POP3 Emails. My ISP's requirements are pretty basic and I had no trouble receiving on sylpheed, but Evolution will send with no problems but not receive. It's a basic setup, port 110, no encryption, authentication by password, dead simple. I know there's unread undelivered traffic by looking at web access, but while sylpheed will grab it evolution won't. Please, any ideas??
