[Evolution] unread messages
I'm using evolution version 3.42.4 which is the version supplied by openSUSE Leap 15.4 I have several email addresses and have created several folders that show in the Saved Messages panel. There are quite a few message filters that sort my messages into the various folders. All is working well with one exception: New messages received for one of the folders show the bold folder name as expected but I cannot access these messages unless I go to Folder-> Mark All Messages as Read. I can then access the new messages normally except they are, of course, shown as having been read. This happens on only one particular folder and everything else is working just as it should. This problem showed up one day, just all of a sudden. I don't remember making any changes or seeing any warnings. It happened while I was running Leap 15.3 (I don't remember the version of Evolution.) I didn't bother with it as I knew the upgrade of Leap would be released shortly. Obviously, the upgrade didn't fix it. I'm guessing there is a problem in the database file used by Evolution. Is there a "repair" command I can run to fix this?

[Evolution] syncing Gmail contacts
I am using Evolution 3.12.9 on Debian Jessie. I have set up Gmail using Evolution, not Gnome Online Accounts (I am using the XFCE desktop). Mail and calendar work fine, but I can't sync my Google contacts. I get a message saying Evolution can't open this address book, because of an invalid URI or unavailable server, resource not found, https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps (this is my translation of the Dutch message). When I go to this google url, it says: Important: ClientLogin has been officially deprecated since April 20, 2012 and is now no longer available. Requests to ClientLogin will fail with a HTTP 404 response. We encourage you to migrate to OAuth 2.0 as soon as possible. I assume that this issue was fixed in later versions of Evolution. When I was using Evo 3.22.x on Debian Stretch (testing version) I could sync my Gmail contacts in Evolution. Since Evolution is not in Debian backports, does this mean that I can't sync my Gmail contacts while I am using the current stable Debian release Jessie without installing a newer version of Evolution from outside the official Debian repositories?

Thanks for the reply poc. You als have [Gmail] as a subfolder of your account. Basically what I want is for my Gmail-account to be the single account / folder in Evolution.

Hello everybody, I am using Evolution 3.22.1 on the latest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with my Gmail account. I am trying to get all my Gmail folders to show up directly under my Evolution account, instead of a separate [Gmail] folder which contains all my Gmail folders. So, instead of: |bvlie...@gmail.com Inbox |Gmail |All |my |Gmail |folders Junk Trash I would like: |bvlie...@gmail.com Inbox |All |my |Gmail |folders Junk Trash Thunderbird implements this by letting me set the IMAP server directory to [Gmail]. Evolution however doesn't seem to offer this possibility. I hope that my question is clear. Does anybody have an idea as how to accomplish what I want?

Most of the people I know use web mail. They do everything through their browser. Is that IMAP? I want no part of that! Basically POP is a method of getting your mail from a server and on to your own computer. That's it. That's all it does. No, not quite. You're forgetting the deletion part of the process! POP does exactly what I want it to do! If it is text, fine. If it is HTML, fine! If it has an embedded image, fine. If it has an attachment, fine! Send it to me and I, or rather my mail client, will decide what to do with it. All the POP implementation on Evo does is to stick the mail into your On this computer folders and then plays with it from there. Exactly! And, it does it very well, thank you. If, theoretically, Evo abandoned it's POP components and you had an external method of doing the same thing, would that be a workable thing for you? [Please note, I am not a dev, there is no such proposal, I am not proposing it.] Why, why, why is everyone so intent on making me, and others like me, change a system we are perfectly happy with, to one you think is Better? NO! It would not be to my liking! I would not like an external system that I would have to set up and make additional efforts to download things that are already downloaded via POP, or send a bunch of commands to some computer somewhere, which will record everything I do, which messages go where, which folders I create, which ones I delete, what type of messages I keep, and then sell all this info to some company, or give it to some govt agency. Evolution is, and has been for a long time, my mail client of choice. It downloads messages from 17 POP accounts, puts them in folders as determined by the filters I created, and lets me read and reply to them. I really like Evolution even though it contains a bunch of stuff I don't use... like the calendar... and the memos... and Tasks and Microsoft Outlook connectivity and... and... and... Oh! IMAP! :) Leave my POP alone! Now. I'm done.

Re: [Evolution] Errors receiving mail via POP
snip But, to inject a bit of controversy into this, is the usage of the very old POP protocol sufficient that the devs should spend time looking at this sort of issue? Absolutely! Why do people still use POP, when IMAP is a more complete solution and things like offline-imap and fetchmail exist for those who work in an offline environment? They use POP because they do not want their mail residing on someone else's computer. I know it passes through other systems, but I have some messages that reside for long periods of time in various email folders for various reasons. And, I feel a lot more secure doing so. If I lose my phone, or my iPad, or my laptop, I don't need to worry about my email accounts. Besides, 90 percent of the problems I see here have to do with IMAP. I've been using POP for years and years and have very, very little trouble. So, count me among the POP fans.

IMAP doesn't force you to leave it on a server. There is no feature of POP which IMAP does not also have. Why perform an additional step? POP does that for me.

If you lose a device and the device is not properly secured then your account is at risk whether it's IMAP or POP. Clearly in the IMAP case you are also trusting the server admin to take proper care of your stored mail, but you don't have to leave it there if you don't want to (see above). Not if the accounts don't exist on the portable device. My email goes to my desktop. My phone has one IMAP account that doesn't exist on my desktop. I have tried using IMAP and frankly see no advantage at all. I only see problems.

However... I just know you're going to say But most of my messages are in HTML :) So are mine! The small text on my screen, when I compose a message, is somewhat of a pain. I agree. But, when I get a message back, as a reply, I see that the text is fairly properly sized. I guess we are both obsessing about a mostly non-existing problem. Besides, we can't control what fonts are installed on the recipient's computer. Our carefully crafted message can be rendered unreadable if we were to use a font that does not exist on the end computer. As an example, I had my wife send me a message, from her Windows machine, using Thunderbird, and composed in Cooper Black. When I received it, Evolution disregarded the font as it is not installed on my machine and showed the message in the regular font we see. I would still like to be able to chose which font is used so I could make sure I am sending MS TT type fonts and would know pretty much what the end user will see.

Now, I can't believe that everyone using ubuntu is somehow less intelligent or computer savy than the rest of us, but Using evolution on Fedora seems to be fine. Using evolution on openSUSE seems to be fine. Using evolution on Arch seems to be fine although Arch is not for the novice.

I've done some traceroutes and my impression is that most if not all of the jumps take longer when the attempt times out. This presumably would mean that it's not a problem at the omnis.com end. So I repeat my earlier query: Is there some way to tell Evolution to wait longer before it times out? I've already set net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries to 7, which is supposed to give about 90 seconds (per http://www.sekuda.com/overriding_the_default_linux_kernel_20_second_tcp_socket_connect_timeout). But I'm getting the timeout error after about 45 seconds and 60 seconds. And it's still intermittent--sometimes stuff downloads right away; sometimes only one or two accounts download and then it times out. Is this for an IMAP or POP account? If you run CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution do you see anything about the timeout? I'm not an expert but noodling around in the camel code in EDS I do not see anything that looks like a socket timeout; so I'd guess whatever the default is what the default is. I have one thing to add about this situation. I'm using evo 3.8.5 and have 12 pop accounts. I have both a cable connection and a DSL connection at my location. I can simply change the cable between the router and the modem, make one change in the router settings, and I am connected to either the cable or DSL. While connected to the DSL connection, everything works well. However, when connected to the cable, I get a notice that the connection has timed out on random accounts. That is, if I do a Send/Receive, one or more accounts will time out. Not the same ones, different accounts each time. This leads me to think it is not in evolution, but in the internet connection provided by the cable company. One other thing that may or may not be related. I cannot configure my router remotely when it is connected to the cable, but can when connected to the DSL. This occurs on different routers so it is not in my system. My cable ISP insists they do not block any ports and, obviously, my firewall is not involved as everything works while connected to DSL. This internet stuff is so much fun!

[Evolution] Evolution 3.8.5
I just upgraded from 3.8.3 to 3.8.5 without incident. I'm running openSUSE 12.3 with KDE as a WM. There are just a few noticeable changes. Just enough to make evolution a little nicer, A little smoother, faster, and easier to use. I just wanted to thank the people who put in the effort to build this product, and make it available. It fits my needs almost perfectly! I guess I should go to Gmone.org and post this there. But, I know there are a few developers on this list, and a bunch of people who are not developers but do some pretty heavy tech support. I wouldn't be able to use this application without your efforts. So, Thanks a bunch! Lately, there have been some people here who really don't seem to appreciate what is software is, does, and can do. I fell sorry for them.

Additional functionality can, and has been, included in the basic print dialog. Matthew wrote a new version of the print dialog that is to be included in a new release of evolution. c) that the printing options may or may not have the Dont print all headers option is other versions of Linux - such as Suse with the exception of other packages that are loaded for the OS in particular? I'm not sure of that. I have the options, you don't. We are using the same version of evolution. I'm using openSUSE, you're using Mint. I'm using KDE, you're using Gnome (I think). Seems like either you should have the options, or I should not. d) That I cant just get a add/on option? That's correct. I suppose I cant force and upgrade without other issues affecting the system either? That's a definite maybe. I upgraded mine, but I went to the gnome repository of my distribution. Evolution could be compiled with static linking that would prevent it from looking for other libraries. But then, you'd have to recompile it for every security update. Not an ideal situation. e) The OS distribution and versions related are subject to the Maintainers of the OS we use? Yes. How am I doing so far ;) Outcome then for me at this stage is - just use what i have until the next version is avail for Mint Debian? Is this where I put in a plug for openSUSE? How about highlighting the body of the message, pasting it into something like Kate (Oh wait... gedit) and printing that? A couple of extra steps, but might save a tree or two.

Matthew Barnes First, thanks a lot for your reply, and especially for the work you did! Had you not replied, I would have answered that the print dialog was part of the general gnome package, not evolution. OP said he was using 3.8.3 and apparently on Mint. I'm using 3.8.3 on openSUSE and the print dialog gives me the option of printing just the message. And it works! Does the print dialog allow you to send options to it from the application? I guess it must or they're would be nothing for you to re-write. Without listing all the various versions of all the gnome files on my system, and his, is it possible for me to have newer versions of files than the OP has? And still have everything work? Could the fact I'm using KDE have anything to do with it? Got me curious now.

Hi, as Andre's link describes, for newer (2007/2010/2013) Exchange servers is recommended to use evolution-ews. With at least 3.8.x version of it you also get calendar/book/folder sharing.

Each source or folder has its Permissions context menu option, and if you right-click the account name in the Mail view at the left folder tree, then you get Subscribe to folder of other user option, where you can access shared folders. You can either choose one of the standard folder names, or place in a folder ID, which is visible at (and can be copypasted from) the Permissions dialog. To access Public Folders use Folder-Subscriptions... from the top menu in the Mailer view.

openSUSE 12.3 KDE 4.10.3 Evolution 3.8.2 The problem: After updating from Evolution 3.6 which was distributed with openSUSE 12.3, to Evolution 3.8.1,, the plugin evolution-tray would not work. Today, I updated to Evolution 3.8.2, and saw an update to evolution-tray, so I added that to the update. It still didn't work. I looked around for the location of the plugins, and found it in /usr/lib64/evolution/3.6/plugins. All by itself. There is a directory /usr/lib64/evolution/3.8/plugins. So I copied liborg-gnome-evolution-tray.so and org-gnome-evolution-tray.eplug from to 3.6/plugins directory to the 3.8/plugins directory, shutdown and restarted Evolution and evolution-tray is now working. I know Evolution is a Gnome application, and I don't think evolution-tray has a use in Gnome, and I don't know if it's unique to openSUSE, and I don't know if this list is the correct place for this message, but I find a lot of useful information here. It's one of the first places I look, so I thought I'd post this here.

I have filed a bug report 818977 Thanks I'm curious about the naming of that folder, how on earth did it end up as 'C'? It's historic. From the net somewhere... In the C programming language, the locale name C “specifies the minimal environment for C translation” (C99 §7.11.1.1; the principle has been the same since at least the 1980s). As most operating systems are written in C, especially the unix-inspired ones where locales are set through the LANG and LC_xxx environment variables, C ends up being the name of a “safe” locale everywhere. POSIX specifies that both C and POSIX must be valid locale names, with the same neutral settings. So 'C' is from the 'C' language. The C locale basically comes down to 7-bit ASCII. P. THANK YOU!

I'm using openSUSE 12.3 on this computer. However, I'm using the KDE desktop. I therefore had to manually install Evolution. I wonder if the help files were not included with the installation. As is my usual policy, I simply checked the little box in YaST that said Evolution and assumed the entire package would be installed. Perhaps I should change my methods, or perhaps Evolution should include the entire package, or list help as a dependency, as a default (would that be up to the openSUSE packagers?).

The issue is not with evolution-mapi, but with OpenChange 1.0, which has broken writing of streams for some reason. The issue affects sending of large messages, which means basically anything longer than 4KB of raw data, +/-.

I think the problem is in the file, but is only my opinion. Regards, Lailah With further investigation, the problem does indeed seem to be in the file. If I copy the file to another directory, it gets bigger by about a meg. I can attach that copy to a message without problems whereas the original will lock up evolution. The thing is, the apparently corrupted file will work just fine when viewed in multiple video players. Go figure! Anyway. It's obviously not a problem with Evolution, so I'll drop it here, and maybe find a corrupt file mailing list to see if I can find what is up with that file. . . . Or maybe not.

This isn't the 1990s. There certainly is a reasonable upper limit for an e-mail message but it isn't 12MB. I routinely send 50 - 75MB collections of files via e-mail and via Evolution.

In ESMTP you can query the size limit of the next MX with: $ telnet smtp.1blu.de 25 250-SIZE 52428800 i.e. my ISP would accept 52428800 bytes; And with base64 encoding [which tends to bloat ~20%] that is a maximum message size of ~40MB. what I right now listening as music... and the other is connected by a link and has to pay for minutes or for bytes (a) I know that nobody I communicate with regularly has a pay-as-you-go plan.

I understand this case and when I communicate with a friend in rural Africa messages are smallish - although one does discover that batch transfer of information via SMTP is far *more* efficient that messages containing links that then have to be downloaded [and are often viewed after the connection has gone away]. Dealing with web servers and especially 'the Web 2.0' over very high latency connections isn't a great time. So no, I think this mentality is completely obsolete except in rare and very specific cases. But this is all off-topic now: Evolution can handle very large messages quite gracefully. I'm curious why a specific attachment would make it go donkers. ___ Wow! A hornet's nest I seem to have poked. For the record, I contacted the recipient before attempting this transfer and got his permission and encouragement. We both have what is considered high speed connections (10 mbs) so time was not considered a problem. Neither of us are charged by usage, we pay a flat fee. I did end up using one of the file sharing services so the file was transferred successfully although sitting here I can't determine why sending it to a file sharing service, and having it downloaded on the other end would result in any less electrons being abused than sending it as an attachment. Also, I did try renaming the file, no go. As I stated, I could attach files that are bigger than this one, and have sent them without problems. The intent of this post was to determine if there was any interest or curiosity in this problem. The fact that it was this file only, and that I used another method to accomplish my goal means that it is not a problem to me. I thought one of the developers just might want to be advised, and might even want a copy of the file to determine why it failed and why Evolution did not gracefully handle the error. ___ 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] An interesting problem
Evolution 3.2.3 KDE 4.7.2 openSuse 12.1 Last night, I tried to send an email containing an attachment. The attachment is a .MP4 type file of about 12 meg in size. When I attempted to use the Add Attachment button on the bottom of the message, the window went non-responsive. I clicked on the close button at the top right of the window and waited for KDE to crash close Evolution. Not believing this happened, I tried again. (Why do we always do this?) I got the same response. Each time I restart Evolution it asks if I want to recover the unsent message. I answered yes and then tried to drag and drop the file. I got the same response. So I tried starting a new message in case the one I was working with was corrupt and the response was the same. I am able to attach a file of bigger or smaller size, of the same or different type without problems. I am able to play this file in several different video applications so I don't think it's corrupt. Bottom line, I am unable to attach a specific file to an email message using Evolution. Any other file works without problems. The file in question seems to be in good shape. I moved the file using another method, so this problem is a non-issue to me. Is this worth fussing with? I kept the file on my system in case it could help finding a weird problem in Evolution.

[Evolution] Evolution - The application
A couple of hours ago, I was speaking with a acquaintance. We were discussing computer software, applications, and how well they worked, and how well they were supported. We both agreed that our email client was the most important application on our systems. After listening to him tell me about his Windows software, I was reminded of how I seem to take my copy Evolution for granted. Yes, I see on this list that there are bugs. But, I also see that most of the problems revolve around improper backup/restore and/or export/import. Mostly caused by operator misunderstanding. This message is not a call for help. It is to commend the people responsible for the creation and upkeep of Evolution, and to the very, very patient people who support it. Thanks so much!

[I realize it is probably obvious, but I don't see any Template menu items]. a quick glance at the patch code in bugzilla seems to indicate that there should be a 'reply to message using template' option somewhere. I've not found it though. From the help menu... Message Templates A message template is a standard message that you can use at any time to send mail with the same pattern. To enable the Message Template Plugin, click Edit ▸ Plugins and enable Templates. Creating a Message Template from an existing Message 1. Select the message. 2. Right-click the message and choose Move to folder or Copy to folder. 3. Select the Templates folder under On This Computer. You can also edit an existing message and save it as a template: 1. Open the message and click Reply. 2. Edit the message body or the addresses according to your requirements. 3. Select File ▸ Save as Template. Saving a New Message as a Template 1. Click New and enter in the composer window what you need for the template. 2. Select File ▸ Save as Template. Using a Message Template as a Reply 1. Right-click the message you are replying to, then click Templates. This option lists all the message templates in the Templates folder. 2. Select the message template of your choice. Make changes if required in the email composer window that will open. 3. Click Send. When you select a message template for replying, the subject of the reply is preserved. Configuring Message Templates 1. Select Edit ▸ Plugins. 2. Click Templates. 3. Click the Configuration tab. 4. You can add, edit or remove the key-value pairs. You can specify any number of key-value pairs. In any template, the occurrence of every $key is replaced by the value it has in the configuration. For example, if you set the key to Manager and the value to Harry, any occurrence of $Manager is replaced by Harry in the message. Assume that you have 1000 message templates with your current manager's name in them. When the current manager is replaced by a new one, it is not easy for you to manually replace the manager's name in all the 1000 messages. If the messages have a $Manager key value, you can reset the value in the Configuration tab of this plugin. By default, the entire environment variables are used as a key-value pair. An occurrence of $env_variable is replaced by the value it carries. For example, an occurrence of $PATH in your template is replaced by its value when the template is used. The replacement process uses the following order of precedence: 1. $key is replaced by the value set for it in the Configuration tab of the Templates plugin. 2. If the key is not found, it is then replaced with the value of its environment variable. 3. If key is neither a configuration option nor an environment variable, no changes are made. Thank you for taking the time to explain the phrase *key-value pairs*. For some reason, I just couldn't grasp the meaning.
