I'd like a way to have today's date in month view always appear in the top row. For me the past is irretrievably gone and what I did or was supposed to do then is much less interesting than what I'm supposed to do in the next 4 or 5 weeks.

Same basic setup here ... but no POP. It has all worked very well for me since I installed spamassassin (which doesn't get installed by default for some reason). Without spamassassin I would some times get a race condition with "Unknown background operation" messages. It seemed to be spam-check related and installing sa *seems* to have cured it.

Exactly. In the Mac-like "global menu," which IMHO is a terrible design error but easily rectified with the unity-tweak-tool to give normal application menus (in versions 14.04 and later).

I'm using pre-release Ubuntu 10.04 which ships Evolution 3.10.4. According to https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution#Get_the_Source_Code this is the latest released stable version (2014-02-10); appropriate for an LTS release.

I don't think that refers to evolution specifically. Ubuntu 13.10 will be based on GNOME 3.8, so software based on GNOME 3.4 will not get any updates from Ubuntu after 13.04 is EOL, including evolution 3.6.x.

Ubuntu 13.04, which was released in late April and is based on Gnome 3.6, provides Evolution 3.6.4, released 6 March 2013. Six or seven weeks later: pretty up-to-date. If you like Ubuntu and must have the 3.8 series you can go with Ubuntu Gnome and update to Gnome 3.8; same as with openSUSE. Now that Ubuntu is a sorta-kinda rolling release, I expect more up-to-date versions of everything to appear. Evolution is no longer the default MUA in Ubuntu, but it still integrates nicely with their version of the Gnome calendar. Works very well for me and my extended family. -- N. B.

You don't say what you upgraded from You probably have a .evolution directory in your home backup. Delete everything in your new .local/share/evolution, restore .evolution to your new /home and then try it. This *should* work; obviously it is much better to make the backup and restore from that. Evo now stores its data in .local/share like a well-behaved GNOME app, not in .evolution as previously. Good luck! -- N. B.

Evo 2.32.1 is the default in Ubuntu 11.04, which will have its second alpha release late this month. The OP could install this and have the latest. While I'd be hesitant to design bridges or keep financial records with a somewhat unstable alpha, I haven't had any problems with Evo and IMAP using some old version of exchange at my former university and natty alpha-1. Dual booting between the latest release and the alpha takes seconds, and would be a good way to see if his problems persist in 2.32.1. Also, there's a ppa for Ubuntu 10.10 to install 2.32.1: https://launchpad.net/~jacob/+archive/evo230 -- N. B.

Have you tried setting these values with the gconf-editor program? (Run gconf-editor from a terminal within gnome as yourself). You'll find them under /Apps/Evolution.

The solution was (in Firefox) to go to about:config and find this key: browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground Change to TRUE. Now I can click on a link in Evolution on desk 2 and it (silently) opens in a new tab in Firefox on desk 3. Doubtless other browsers have a something similar. I don't know how to avoid having FF pop up over evo if FF is not running; I always have an instance running on its dedicated desktop. HTH -- N. B.
