Then I'm even more surprised that you don't seem to know the difference between Evolution and Evolution-Data-Server. The original topic was about mail cache and making sure Evolution is not running, while you posted about unrelated Evolution-Data-Server daemons (plus Evolution- Data-Server has no background daemons for mail parts anyway, AFAIK). > Yeah I think I recognize your name from past conversations and you > never have been willing to understand other people's problems.

I've never configured it. Then I wonder what brings you to this mailing list... I have used Evolution in the past. I've even done development on it. Mostly bug fixes and attempts at bug fixes. Trying to make Evolution work for a linux-kernel virtual folder without becoming completely confused or crashing with a 3 GB memory leak, for example. Or trying to batch edit a bunch of downloaded email using Perl scripts. And yet there are four /usr/libexec/evolution-* processes running. If you kill one DBUS semi-randomly restarts it. First there were "so many small daemon pieces". Now there are only four? I can't make much sense out of this conversation so far. Yeah I think I recognize your name from past conversations and you never have been willing to understand other people's problems. If you actually know for a fact that the cache files will only by touched by the Evolution GUI client then just say so. -- 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] OpenPGP key ID for alias email address(es)
Hi, I have an e-mail account with several alias email addresses. I have separate PGP keys for both the main email address of the email account and the alias email addresses. For the main email address, I was able to add the OpenPGP key ID in Security in the account editor of Evolution 3.36.4-0ubuntu1. For my alias email addresses, I haven't found a way to enter the respective OpenPGP key ID. How does this work in Evolution?
