Re: [Evolution] automatic s/Mime encryption
I understand the "encrypt all" setting and the reason for it to throw the error back. That much makes sense. But couldn't it check well before sending? Or if I specifically say "encrypt if possible" then I am specifically taking the stand that if I can't encrypt to a person then I don't care and send it any way? Personally, I almost never do group emails, but it would be nice to email people that can receive encrypted email with encrypted email but I am normally not concerned if I cannot encrypt and I don't want to turn it on and off for every individual email. Less secure, not really. Because if I had something sensitive that must be encrypted, I could still use the options menu to force encryption on and it would work just as it does now. But if it is in the "if possible" mode it would try to encrypt and if it cannot then yes, it would silently send unencrypted because I would do that anyway 99.9% of the time.

[Evolution] automatic s/Mime encryption
V3.36.5-0ubuntu1 I am seeing an option in the securty section of an email account that says I can always encrypt messages from this account. That isn't all that useful if not everyone I email can accept encrypted messages. Then I have to remember who can and can't receive email or when I hit send, the app barks at me and I have to un-select the encryption option. I am wondering if I am missing something or if not could it be added that the email is automatically encrypted if it knows that it can and not if it knows that it can't? I mean instead of having the checkbox to always encrypt, maybe make it a dropdown that says NEVER, ALWAYS and WHEN POSSIBLE. Just a thought to help make things easier. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Roger that. I've just got a pile of emails on one laptop in a different account that I want to move to a different laptop, different user.

This only fails for mails without a 'Date' header, but then you still could save the mail as mbox to an USB stick and load it by the other computer's MUA, assuming the mail without 'Date' header shouldn't be spam. ___ 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-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Evolution backups: is there a max size of the evolution-backup-20171231.tar.gz file
It is 3.20.5-4-4-x86_64. It is default w/openSuse 42.3 which is the current release that I'm using. I'd been anticipating a greater increase in size of the produced backups than what I've been getting. Nothing seems missing or corrupted in the backups that I've unpacked and checked. Thanks.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution backups: is there a max size of the evolution-backup-20171231.tar.gz file
v3.20.5 Backups are every 3 or 4 months to capture emails + attachments. So, I gather that there are no file size or segmentation issues that would limit the size of produced evolution-backup.tar.gz files?

Happy New Years. Glenn You don't say what version of Evolution you have. Please *always* state this when asking questions (Help->About). As has been discussed several times on the list, the Backup function is really a misnomer. It's not intended for regular daily backups but for capturing the state of your mail (and only your mail, not contacts, tasks, address book etc.) when moving to a new system. You should use a standard home directory backup strategy as well as (or instead of) this function. That said, the backup is just a big tar.gz file with the local state in it. If your file won't grow beyond a certain size there might be a limitation of some kind in your system, such as maximum file size or disk quota. poc ___ 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-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi all- My Evolution backup appear to be topping out at 7.7 gb in size. Is this a maximum size for the produced evolution-backup-20171231.tar.gz file? I've been using Evolution since the Ximian days: some of the items in my backups stretch back to that era. Happy New Years.

[Evolution] Evolution and smtp port OTHER THAN 25
My ISP, 1and1.com uses an smtp (send) port OTHER THAN the Evolution Port 25. I asked 1and1.com tech support for help and received the following URL http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/confirm/evolution-list/b177d3c3e3496ba2eb1e1505932af450a4190bb0 Excellent resource for this problem. The process Determine what smtp port your ISP/mail provider uses (usually found on the provider's site), then 1) Launch Evolution 2) Select Edit Preferences 3) Select account to modify and click on Edit; Account Editor appears 4) Select Sending Email tab 5) Under Server Configuration, the Server line should read normally (e.g., smtp.domain) APPEND A COLON (:) AND THE PROVIDER-REQUIRED PORT ID smtp.1and1.com:587o the entry reads something like smtp.domain.***:123 6) Try leaving the Security Use Security Connection as is * 7) Leave Authentication as it 8) Leave Izanami as is 9) Leave Remember password as is 10) Click the OK button 11) Test function by sending an email via the provider's service to confirm it goes through. * Step 6 - you _may_ need to try SSL or TLS encryption. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Forwarding from a MS Exchange server to pop server from within Evolution
I'm running Evolution 2.12 and accessing a MS Exchange server. When I'm traveling I'd like to be able to access the mail that has been sent to the MS Exchange server on my PDA without having to mess with Outlook Web Access. Is there a way that I could have Evolution forward incoming mail from the MS Exchange server automatically to a POP server that I can download from using my PDA?
