I could receive emails, but every email I tried to send generated an error saying that it was blocked because it contained 'Spam-like' data. When I contacted my ISP, I was informed that I was on a block list because I had sent enough (whatever the F that is) emails with certain words in the subject line. When I tried sending one with "test" as the subject, I was told that "test" was one of the trigger words, that if sent often, would put me on the block list. Since I use the word "test" pretty often, because I help a lot pf people with programming, 3D printing, and a few other technical subjects. So the first thing the ISP did was to send me an email asking for the email that triggered the blocking. Well, I did not have it. I thought perhaps I could find it, but I was unsuccessful. Furthermore, they wanted me to send that email in .eml format, and included instructions for putting it into .eml format. One option was: > Email client: > 1. Highlight the message in your email client. > 2. Right-click on the message and select "Save As..." > 3. Choose Mail/Mail Files (*.eml). > 4. Click Save. Of course, I not only couldn't find the message, but could not find a way in Evolution to save it as .eml. Not only that, but the copy in 'Sent' appears to not have a full set of headers. The other option was to use their web interface: > Webmail: > 1. Log in to Webmail. > 2. Go to 'Inbox' or 'Sent' > 3. Select the message. > 4. Click the 'floppy disk' icon to save the message. > 5. Click 'Ok'. Of course, there would only be a copy in one of those directories if I used the web interface to send email. They have restored my ability to send email from Evolution, but not knowing what their criteria for identifying spam is, I fear that I may use a word like 'Hello' in the subject line once too often and be barred again. I guess it really isn't urgent that I figure out what to do, other than never emptying my trash, then hoping that I can recover the email that causes the next blocking, and then hoping that it has a complete set of headers, and that I can save it in .eml format.

[Evolution] POP Fails To Retry After "Connection Closed Unexpectedly" errors
Hello Evolution users, I've been transitioning from forty years of Forte Agent https://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php as my e-mail client, to evolution 3.38.3-1 for about a month, and find evolution very full featured with some nice capabilities. The learning curve has been a little steep, with the plethora of settings among evolution, GNOME, KDE, ... As a result, I have several new user questions. SYSTEM: NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" KDE Plasma evolution 3.38.3-1 MY (first) QUESTION: The AT/Yahoo POP server (inbound.att.net) very frequently produces "Connection Closed Unexpectedly" errors. Agent provides a POP retry function that continues to attempt to fetch messages when it encounters this error. This reconnection function progressively increases the delay time between connection retries until it succeeds. Thus, I rely on this connection retry function to successfully download all the new e-mail messages. It appears that evolution simply gives up after a disconnect, displaying the error it encountered near the top of the window, and fails to make any further attempts to connect until manually commanded or the timed-Connect parameter executes. Is there a particular evolution setting I'm overlooking to enable retrying?

Properly, to me, using the built-in backup, would be to not getting a requester asking me if I want to shut it down, which is not suitable for automated backup.

I prefer that it copies everything, where 'everything' is exactly, and only, what I think I need backed up. Currently it backs up .local/share/evolution, which gives me a 500 MB file, and takes a little over 6 minutes. I don't keep every backup.

Apparently, nothing. I was unaware of the option. I am relatively new to Linux, and while I definitely know about thngs like --help and man pages, I did not think to try them, as Evolution comes with its own help file, and I saw nothing in it to indicate forced shutdown as a possibility.

Well, the way I see it, the whole point of running a job with cron is that you don't have to actually do anything in preparation beforehand. So what I am looking for is a way to safely shut down Evolution from a bash script. Restarting from the script it is trivial. So, let me ask you this. Is it safe (or advisable) to shut down Evolution with a kill command? ___ 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] Take Evolution offline from a bash script?

I have deleted most of this thread, so pardon me if these setting was mentioned.

Are you sure you want to change the composer format? Switching to Plain Text format will cause the text to lose all the HTML formatting. Do you want to continue?

[Evolution] Missing attachments.
I was looking for some attachments on received email. I found the emails I was looking for, and the paper-clip icon indicated an attachment, but the attachment was not actually there. Instead, there were, for each attachment, a box with info something like this... "This section of the message has been deleted. It originally contained the following data: Content type: image/jpeg Content description: (None) Filename: mess.jpeg" The emails in question were from 2020-05-03 to 2020-05-18. My question is whether or not Evolution did something with the attachments, or if it was more likly to be something I did, either inadvertently or on purpose. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

On the other hand, highlighting the title of the email that was selected the last time you were in a folder is, IMO, a good thing. If the colour of the highlight was different than the 'selected' highlight, you would know that you were looking at that one previously, but that it is not selected now. ___ 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 3.36.4 When I start typing an address, Evolution fills in an invalid address, which looks something like this: Oleg Lego > I have created an entry in Contacts that should give me a valid address, but it still gave me the bad one.
