Hi,
there basically isn't. Or it is, but it requires a lot of work, with
which it would be too easy to break internal things.

I suppose your server account is IMAP or any such, nothing stored
locally. Evolution (or better libcamel) stores a local copy of the
summary information (basically what you see in the message list) for
each folder of that account in some format, plus it stores also already
downloaded copies of the messages. Constructing the summary file from
an .mbox file is possible, but it's really complicated process and it
can break things. After all, those are private application data.

You'll be much safer letting Evolution to create the summary on its
own. Just add the remote account and that's all.
Bye,
Milan

[Evolution] Migrating from Thunderbird via import without duplicates

2020-10-26 Thread christopher via evolution-list
I understand how to import my mbox files from Thunderbird and I 
understand how to setup my accounts on Evolution, but I'm not sure how 
to do both without ending up with duplicates and essentially mitigating 
the entire advantage of having local copies to import from.


---
Here is what I understand how to do now

1.) Import my "INBOX" mbox file to some new local folder (e.g. fooBox)

2.) Add existing mail account (e.g. f...@bar.com) on Evolution.

3.) Move all mail from fooBox to f...@bar.com->Inbox

4.) After step 2 is appears Evolution automatically syncs with the 
bar.com server and downloads all the mail I had in fooBox already. After 
step 3 now I have duplicates of everything and had to wait for all mail 
to download from bar.com. I can remove these duplicates, but this makes 
the import step seem useless. Is there any way to avoid downloading all 
mail from the server and use the local copies, but only download those 
not present in the local folder so as to save a bunch of bandwidth and 
time?


---
Here is what I would expect to happen:

1.) Create a mail account (e.g. f...@bar.com) on Evolution but have some 
way to prevent it from automatically syncing


2.) Import my "INBOX" mbox file to Evolution in the f...@bar.com Inbox folder

3.) Enable sync for the f...@bar.com account

4.) Evolution checks the file list on bar.com and imports only those 
that do not already exist in the local folder


---

Is there any way of doing the above?

Unless I'm missing something, you are using a new spam filter
(SpamAssassin). Any training you did with Bogofilter is moot. These are
independent programs (independent of each other and independent of
Evolution). You need to train SA to get it to work properly.

I read that already before you even replied to me, and it didnt tell me
anything on why its not moving those emails to the spam folder after
constantly clicking THIS IS SPAM...

 As I said I have been telling it for the last 2 months anything
chipsnali.com / net I forget which suffix it ends with, that it is bad
and to send it to spam when it comes in. 

I dont understand why by now it should understand that I dont want to
see emails from that company and to send it to the spam folder. You'd
think after a month or two of clicking THIS IS SPAM that it would learn
to not even show me those emails and to move them to the spam folder.

Hi,
if you know that you do not want to read/receive messages from certain
domain, then there's nothing simpler than to use Edit->Message
Filters->Add->fill name, then Condition as: Sender contains , then
the action will be: Set Status Junk. You may eventually add also action
Sent Status Read and for sure also Stop Processing.

You need to train the spam filtering software first, with spam and ham,
the same as you did with Bogofilter. Such training may need time. You
can select legitimate mails in any folder and click "Not Junk" to train
it in a batch. Maybe revert back to Bogofilter (you've it trained into
some extent already) and use it in the combination with the Message
Filter.

Milan
