Thanks, that did the trick. So that you get pestered with this question less frequently, add a suggestion about the "Show" dropdown to the "No message4s satisfy the search criteria" message.

[Evolution] Stuck on failed search
I'm using Debian 10 "Buster." The version of Evolution that it installs is 3.30.5-1.1. Yesterday, on only one account, and only in the inbox, not the sent box or the archive box, instead of showing the list of messages, it showed "No messages satisfy the search criteria." The search box is empty. I tried putting something into the search box, something I know pertains to one of the messages (which I can read on another computer). The condition persists. I closed and restarted evolution. The condition persists. How can I clear this, short of deleting the account and starting over?

The proper way to update it is using your Linux distro's package manager. Also, you don't say which spam filter you use, but if you're using Gmail's spam detection system then you're probably better just disabling the spam filter in Evolution. That's what I do as in my experience the Gmail one is much more effective. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

That is a LTS release and comes with some caveats which you ought to be aware of: namely the application software is usually locked at specific versions. Mint/Canonical doesn't develop Gnome or it's components, so the software will continue to be developed leaving old versions behind. Evolution (and Gnome) is now at 3.40, bugs are generally fixed for versions one behind, so 3.38 and 3.40. New features are implemented in the development version 3.41. The evolution developers will not deal with any other versions. In producing a LTS version of their OS, Mint developers (presumably ultimately Canonical) are committed to back porting bug fixes into the version they provide. It is unlikely they will do the same for feature updates, but that is up to Canonical and you need to ask on the Mint support forums. > > Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to go on suffering > the countless html coding errors this standard version of evolution has > suffered from since I started using it 15 years ago.

Nobody ever said so, and I don't know why you'd think so. However, we cannot travel back three years in time to fix your three year old version that you decided to run. That's why I recommended to upgrade. > Why on earth would I expect a > piece of linux software to work out of the box without spending weeks > playing with the settings ? How stupid of me. I have no idea why you'd want to "play with the settings" though, as that would not solve any problem. See my previous reply. > Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to go on suffering > the countless html coding errors this standard version of evolution has > suffered from since I started using it 15 years ago. See my previous reply: If you don't want to stick with ancient buggy software versions, upgrade to recent less buggy software versions. (I have no idea what a "standard version" is, though - if you think that your distro ships a "standard version", you could talk to your distro to update that "standard version" as the packages that you use are provided by your distro and not by us.) You chose to use a conservative LTS version of some distro, so you get the package versions of that conservative LTS distro, basically. The package update policy of your distro is up to your distro, not us. > BTW here is what > the world "development" as in "software development" means:- > > https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/development > "the > process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more > advanced:" That's what has happened within the last three years of development, however you are running a software version from three years ago.

Re: [Evolution] AAARRRGGGGGG REEEALLY Need an HTML editor
Dear Andre, So, as a highly experienced user of a standard, mainstream version of linux, using the standard version of evolution which the apt- get system installed for me, my problems are all my own fault, and my requests for a new feature are worthless. Why on earth would I expect a piece of linux software to work out of the box without spending weeks playing with the settings ? How stupid of me. This seems a (sadly) familiar concept. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to go on suffering the countless html coding errors this standard version of evolution has suffered from since I started using it 15 years ago. BTW here is what the world "development" as in "software development" means:- https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/development "the process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more advanced:" Now, I will also unsubscribe myself again from this pointless mailing list.

[Evolution] AAARRRGGGGGG REEEALLY Need an HTML editor
I am using MINT 19.3 CINNAMON V 4.4.8 LINUX KERNEL 5.4.0-80-GENERIC THE EVOLUTION IS 3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 I have been using evolution for the last 15 years or so. So, I define myself as an expert user, a bit like Gandalf the Grey is an expert wizard. IMHO Evolution is pretty good on the whole. But, there are a few annoying problems. For example, the html WYSIWYG editor sucks heavily. I realize nobody every wrote a satisfactory html WYSIWYG writer. So, all I'm asking for is an html editor. Then, I can manually edit the f***ked up HTML written by evolution every now and again, and then send out the message i have manually written the html for. Can you implement this new feature please, before I go mad ? Believe me, I really am like Gandalf the Wizard as far as being a linux user is concerned. You really need to listen to me and do what I say, before Sauron (AKA B. Gates) takes over. Thanks.
