Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 21:15:30 +1300 Hi there, I've only seen ".debris" folders from the sync/cloud backup tool "Mega" (aka 'mega.nz'). I haven't come across it anywhere else on my system or any other's I've administered (and a check on the machines here that have Mega shows it somewhere with that, those that don't have Mega don't have such a folder). Searching on the web also only finds references to Mega. Do you by any chance have Mega installed and linked to your Evolution folder? HTH,HAND, KR [Sorry for the repeated message Andy, I often forget to hit "reply-list" and didn't manage to catch it this time :)] No worries, thanks it really helps, yes I do have mega installed and linked to my evolution folder. It would point to it being sync errors across machines, or items deleted on one then moved to the other. Useful to know, thoughts on "safe to delete"? I might just move/rename and see and report back.

Hard to guess more what that is without info about that subfolder'sexact location, Evolution version, accounts configured, etc. Cheers,andre--Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ Thanks Andre, The location is /home/.local/share/evolution/.debrisVersion number is 3.36.4-0ubuntu1Only one email account configured, no contacts, tasks or memos, calendar is linked to a google calendar. The folder contains lots of subfolders, many for each day, looking to correspond with an exit from the programme.

[Evolution] Safe to delete .debris folder? Y/N?
Hi All, I have been doing some routine housekeeping and notice that the Evolution subfolder called .debris contains lots (thousands) of files (totals over 300MB). Am I safe to delete this folder and what is its purpose? (It doesnt seem to be the trash as I empty that on close. Thanks Andy PS I know I can move it somewhere else, but really interested to know what it is first. ___ 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 problem of sync was not an evolution problem at all. I tested with a manual transfer on a stick between the two devices which showed that folders etc could be detected. It took a short while to evolution to scan the new changes which was unexpected but I proved evolution isn't the problem. It turns out there it a default setting in megasync not to sync ".*" files, which was why the folders and others were not syncing... Duh! Undocumented feature. I set mega to sync ".*" files and guess what, all works. Thanks for the help all, this one is solved.

[Evolution] Strange sync behaviour
Hi All, I have got 2 Ubuntu latest version installations, one on a laptop one on a desktop. Evolution is on the laptop and works great. I use megasync to sync documents between the two machines automatically, and I am trying to repeat this for evolution. I have set up a sync to sync the whole .local/share/evolution directory to the cloud, then back down again to the desktop. All the files appear in the right place on the desktop however when opening Evolution on the desktop it does not pick up my mail folders. I use subfolders of my inbox for mail filing. The actual subfolders are present in the right directory, but the evolution install is not picking them up. I have not currently set any external mail setting on the desktop installation. Any reasons you can think of why it does not recognise the subfolders. In addition mail appears in the inbox but the contents of mails are unreadable. Thoughts, tips gratefully received. Lastly, the email account I use is POP not IMAP therefore using IMAP is not possible.

[Evolution] Return to inbox after delete
Hi good folk, I have not been able to find an answer to this online. I have recently refreshed my Evolution install and would like to be able to return to the inbox after having an email open and deleting it - as opposed to opening the next email in line. I'm sure this must have been debated here before. I have been through many months of back posts but not found anything. Can you folks help please?
