Re: [Evolution] Sorting by "unread"
Thanks, but that still leaves many messages scattered throughout the listing. I think replying to a message also alters the "status", hence it's not just read/unread but read, unread, replied-to and perhaps something(s) else.

Re: [Evolution] Sorting by "unread"
Installation is default as of this morning (I'd not installed it on this machine before today). With Thunderbird, when I set up a new mail folder (whether the inbox of a new account or some other folder). I first click the Date header to sort by date, then I click the "sort by read" column I've put a couple of screenshots at https://postimg.cc/gallery/KYshgKM to show what I am referring to. With the workflow I've developed over the last however many years I've been using Thunderbird (at least 9), this is quite useful to me. I don't have the ability to remember to do things like changing views, which is why I am stuck on TB since it lets me see all my unread stuff at the top of the list, then everything else in date order below that. At a single glance as I walk past the screen I can see if there is anything to take care of that I may have forgotten, rather than having to remember to change screens for whatever else may be there.

You need to sort by _something_. Probably Received would work best. Then there is a dropdown near the top of the message list where you can choose to view All, only Unread, Last 7 Days, and other options. The Unread filter is what you want I think. That is part of the Search Bar I believe, so if you moved or made that hidden somehow you'll have to find it again. ___ 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] Sorting by "unread"
Good morning folks, As per previous, I'm still hoping to be able to simply sort my messages by whether or not an email is flagged as 'read'. Not by date - some of my contacts get screwed up dates in their system. Not by whether or not I've replied to a message - some need a followup reply and I'd rather keep them handy Not by whether or not I've seen the message - I may be on the road and take a quick look, realise I can't deal with it today, and change it back to 'unread' for tomorrow Not by any of the other sorting options - I just want to bring the 'unread' messages to the top of the list - ALL of the unread messages. I just tried with version *3.36.4-0ubuntu1* on *Mint 20* (64 bit) using *Mate 1.24.0* for the desktop I'd prefer to use Evolution over Thunderbird, and hopefully could work with most of the other differences (though I'd need to use TB a half a dozen or so times each week for it's "mail merge" plugin at least until Ev gets that as a plugin/native :) ), but this one is a definite deal-breaker for me :( Thanks for your time, KR ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The --force-shutdown kills everything related to evolution and evolution-data-server, while the --quit only quits the Evolution itself, if it's running. I suggested the --quit only as an option to close the Evolution, not as a comparable option to the --force-shutdown.

Hi, just a note, I agree with Ralf, there is no need for sudo. Simply run: $ evolution --force-shutdown If there are some processes "still" running after it, then it can be they had been restarted by some other process (you can notice that by different process ID in the `ps` command), like GNOME Shell can restart the evolution-calendar-factory when it disappears, which brings up other processes. As your query had been about the Mail part, there is no need to restart the background processes, the mail runs only on the evolution side.

Hi, you can find a folder-tree file under ~/.cache/evolution/mail/ , which contains a list of known Mail folders in the EWS account. It looks like it has got out of sync with the server for some reason. Remove it, or delete the line starting with "sync_state=" (quotes for clarity only), and the next start of the Evolution it'll fully rescan the folders. > I don't want to do a blanket purge of Evolution's cache, as I find > some of my (in Evolution) screen settings disappear. Settings as such are not part of the ~/.cache/, those are in GSettings (D-Conf) and in ~/.config/ by default.
