[Evolution] Evolution not keeping passwords
Suddenly after yesterday's automatic update to Fedora 19, Evolution is not longer keeping my mail account passwords. I've entered them multiple times but it keeps asking me for them. What should I do to fix this? It definitely was not happening before the latest update--which introduced a new kernel update, I think.

To facilitate diagnostics it is important to realize that Evolution *NEVER* keeps the password(s). Secrets are accessed via the GNOME keyring; if it is not working there is a keyring problem or a problem integrating with the keyring. Wrong! If there are network issues Evo is the only MUA I know that asks again and again and again to enter the password. This seemingly isn't a fault of GNOME keyring. Even if it would be a fault of GNOME keyring, but it isn't, but assumed it would be, than stop using GNOME keyring ;)! Since the OP didn't need to check a box, but the issues automagically disappeared it's likely that the OP did experience network issues and the odd misbehavior of Evo. I realized I send my earlier reply from the wrong email address again. As Ralf indicated, the problem went away. Evo seems finally satisfied. Maybe it wants me to do it many times just to be sure that's what I mean. :-) Or maybe it took a couple of restarts.

Are ping times from the Fedora machine to the mail server affected when the Mac is on? Also, looking back I see you're using Fedora 17. F17 went EOL about a year ago, so I'd recommend updating to F20 before proceeding. You'll at least get a newer version of Evo and the problem might go away. THat was at the start of the thread.

Re: [Evolution] I/O operation timing out
Well I tried that and managed to brick my computer. That's why I was still using Fed 17! Every time I upgrade something goes wrong and it's a two-day catastrophe, as the installers don't like something or other about the hardware. This time I never was able to get my box to boot, even tho the installation seemed to go right any number of times. Something screwy with UEFI which neither Fed 19 nor openSUSE could manage on my computer. Had to move eventually to a different box and update the existing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it.It's frustrating that the linux community can't hold to if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Anyway now on a new box with an updated version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and running evo 3.4.2 I'm still getting the same problem. Omnis, my host, tells me they've checked and there's nothing wrong at their end. Also, my wife never has this problem with her Mac mail.So the only constant here seems to be Evolution.

[Evolution] I/O operation timing out
I'm running Evo 3.4.4 on Fedora 17. About half the time or so when I do Send/Receive, I get this error message: Error while Fetching Mail. Could not connect to mail.researchintegration.org: I/O operation timed out. Sometimes one or two of the three accounts I'm connected to there download before the error occurs, sometimes none. About half the time it works OK. The host of my domain says they've checked and their system is ok. Also, my wife, using Mac Mail, doesn't have these problems. And the problems occur for me at work as well as at home. My other internet connections do not seem problematic. I tried switching from tls to no encryption, but that did not help.

[Evolution] Emails disappearing
When I try to open certain emails, formatting message flashes briefly and then nothing. It seems to be ones that came during a certain time period. It doesn't seem to be happening now. When I view All message headers these show X-evolution-source:local. What could cause this to happen? I'm wondering if somehow the download got interrupted and the messages are lost in cyber-space. But why would the sender, recipient, subject and time info be there but nothing else? Especially since it's for about 4 or 5 emails. If the download were interrupted why would there be empty info on that many emails? Is there any way to recover the content?

The only way I can get the Message menu dropdown to open is to remember to click-and-hold the mouse button down until it opens. This seems contrary to how menu items always work, in my experience. Before this thread drags on much further, it's worth pointing out that Evolution uses stock GTK+ menu widgets in its main menu. Evolution does not control the placement of the pop-up menu, nor the way it responds to clicks. That's all handled by GTK+. The fact that you're getting a new composer window when clicking on the Message menu is likely related to the fact that Compose New Message is the first item in that menu, and GTK+ may be positioning the pop-up menu over top of the main menu due to screen size constraints (it is a large menu, after all). That would mean the Compose New Message item is directly underneath where you just clicked to open the Message menu. GTK+ recently switched from the XInput framework to XInput2, and there were some bumps along the way. To me, the behavior you describe sounds like another bump. I would advise waiting for Fedora 18 and re-testing, and if the problem is still present then file a bug against GTK+. Matthew Barnes That sounds plausible. It's not a problem I can't live with, after all.

If you don't need Exchange compatibility, Kmail is good, especially with KDE, and you can get some groupware functions via Kontact. And so on. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Graphics lost in forwarded message
(Guessing--hope's that allowed) If you've set Evolution to send plain text only or your recipient only accepts plain text, could that be the cause of the problem? I haven't done anything with graphics, but I know I get a complex adaptation when people send me HTML mail. Also check Edit-Preferences-Mail Preferences-HTML Mail options regarding loading images. You seem to be accepting the images, but maybe your recipient has them blocked in whichever mail program he/she is using. (Another guess--you may well have checked this out already.)

I erroneously assumed that if I forwarded the email the graphics would go along also. Apparently, I'm wrong. Is there a better email program that I could use?

Is there some other setting that I've missed? From what I've seen, evo doesn't forward attachments. The only way I was able to get it to do so was to Message - Forward As - Redirect, save as draft, edit, change source address to me (instead of the original person), and send. You can drag attachments from the attachment bar of the original message to the compose window of the forwarded message. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Anyone seen a How-To on sharing Contact List with LDAP? (or any other way?)

Indications are that Evolution's Contacts can use an LDAP server. ok, I've got an LDAP server started. Now, can anyone find anything more specific? Like configuration for the LDAP server to handle shared contacts? And whether this works In Theory, or where the rest of us live?

[Evolution] setting all-day calendar event for multiple days
Using Evolution 2.10.1 (from Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) When I try to set an all-day calendar event for several days by putting in one date in the first time field and then the later date in the second time field, the program insists on changing the date in the first field to a totally irrelevant date. How can I get it to keep the date that I typed in? E.g., I type in 05/28/07 in the first field, tab to the next field, type in 06/01/07 and it changes the first field to 06/01/2000. This didn't happen with the previous version of evolution that I was using. Thanks. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] change new appointment default from for till until
I've just switched to evolution 2.10.1 and one new feature is bothering me. When I make a new appointment it takes two clicks to get the form to show until rather than for in the Time section. I always use until. How can I cause that to be the default option on the new appointment form?

I'm thinking this means type that command in a terminal rather than setting something from within evolution? (E.g., in Outlook Express there's a place to set that in the account setup.) This would then automatically handle all the email accounts on the Linux installation? Thanks again.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution Cache Limit
This email prompted me to look at my similar cache files, which in turn raised a number of questions. There seems to be an arbitrary set of items stored. One email acct, which is used all the time, has nothing stored. Others have odds and ends stored. Also there are some cache folders for [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mail.domain (where 'mail.domain' is repeated without change. What does this cache do and what determines what's kept there? What could be causing these strange folders with the repeated @mail.domain?

Turned out half of the space being used was under the following folder: ~/.evolution/mail/pop/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/cache Is there a limit to the amount of disk space that Evolution can use for caching or does it do any automatic cleaning up of cache files? A cache limit setting similar to web browsers would be useful for situations such as ours where users have fixed disk quotas.
