[Evolution] Seeing subfolders in searches?
Hi all, I couldn't find the answer to this in the Evolution help system or on the Internet... I performed a search on a whole folder tree. The results didn't indicate which subfolder each message resided in. How do I enable a view to show me the exact subfolder each message is in?

[Evolution] How to change the font of message list and how do I prefer text mail
Hi everyone, I just switched to Evolution last night and am still having growing pains. My vision is so bad I need to set my message font at 13 point, so I need all the screen real estate I can get. So far I removed the status bar, the tool bar, and the todo bar. When I get an HTML email, its font is usually too big, but sometimes too small. I'd like to get my emails in text form, and then if I want, click something or hotkey to see it in HTML. How can do that? Also, I've found how to change the message font, and how to change the message header font, but I can't find the way to change the font of the message list or the folder list (on the left). How can I do that? Lastly, thanks for making Evolution. I've never had such an easy transition between email clients as I'm having with Evolution.

Yes it was, the way Evolution came from the factory. I replaced them
with n and p.

I get a lot of email per day, like probably 200-300 non-spams and a
heck of a lot more spam. Being a touch typist, I prefer not to take my
hands of typists home position to do anything as frequent as next and
previous, hence my replacement. Reaching for an arrow key every time
would waste a lot of my time.
The good news is, except for intermittent problems where the list
forgets to scroll, n and p work perfectly.
By the way, if anybody listening is a newbie, I'd highly advise you to
back up all versions of your ~/.config/evolution/accels before any
modification, because Evolution tampers with the file every time it
runs. For instance, if you change a hotkey from F10 to q and
comment out the F10 line for future reference, the next time Evolution
runs it will delete the commented F10 line because there's a q
for the same thing. Don't save info by commenting.
And of course, as all the documentation warns, be sure to quit all
instances of Evolution before either backing up or modifying
~/.config/evolution/accels.
I have a shellscript, called bupsky, that's perfect for these pre-edit
backups:
===
#!/bin/sh
buptrunk=/scratch/bup
curdir=$(pwd | sed -e "s/.*\///")
bupdir=$buptrunk/$curdir
now=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H_%M_%S)
src=../$curdir
dst=$bupdir/${curdir}_$now
if test ! -d $bupdir; then
mkdir $bupdir
fi
cp -RpL $src $dst
#ls -ltr $bupdir | tail -n 4
echo backup written to $dst
===
The preceding gives each backup tree a handy mmdd_hh_mm_ss
timestamp so you never worry about backups overwriting each other, and
you can always delete old ones when necessary.
Doubtlessly you'll want to change the location of $buptrunk to
something meeting your own system'd directory structure.

[Evolution] Is this a bogofilter issue rather than evolution?
Good afternoon all, Evolution 3.40.4 - Fedora 34/Gnome. I have junk filtering turned on and am using bogofilter. I get junk mail filtered out on a regular basis (not sure whether that is junk marked before it reaches my laptop or not), but have a problem with one particular mail source. It seems like every day I get Emails from one particular email address that does not get flagged/seen as spam, so each day I manually mark those mails as junk. I thought at first it was just bogofilter taking time learning, but this has been going on for weeks. The bogofilter wordlist.db in ~/.bogofilter seems to carry a few entries for this email address - eg: email.sprintmail.kmdal.com 54 0 20220719 from:sprintmail.kmdal.com 54 0 20220719 head:sprintmail.kmdal.com 54 0 20220719 rcvd:sprintmail.kmdal.com 22 0 20220614 ...I can't find a definitive definition for wordlist.db, so am not entirely sure what the numbers are, but would guess at bad count,good count, date? I know I'm on an old version (I'm just moving up to Fedora 36 and whatever version of Evolution that carries). Any ideas if the issue is bogofilter not filtering or Evolution not dealing with the filtered mail?

Hi, it (IMAPx) doesn't remember where the message came from, that won't work when accessing the account from multiple applications or devices. The undelete in the real Trash folder is supposed to undelete to the account's Inbox folder. I see the Undelete is missing in the context menu of a message stored in the real Trash folder. That's a bug, I'm sure it used to work in the past. Someone may fill it against Evolution. > I presume you'll have to drag them from trash back to where they > came from. That seems to work as a workaround. > I would probably advise that you don't use a real trash folder I'm afraid that's not always possible. If I recall correctly, for example Google IMAP requires the messages to be deleted into the Gmail's Trash folder, otherwise the deletion doesn't really delete the message. It's a long time since it was true, maybe they changed something meanwhile, maybe not, I do not know.

I thought it kept a record of where they came from to allow undelete, but I don't use a real trash so can't tell. I presume you'll have to drag them from trash back to where they came from. If it is something that happens often, then I would probably advise that you don't use a real trash folder and stick to marking the message as deleted and a virtual trash. (You can undelete from a virtual trash, I know that works.)
