Re: [Evolution] Evolution is dying
These kind of response is pretty crap. Q. I use program A on distro B and have problem X. A. Throw your setup into the bin, everyone knows that distro B is useless. The answer is not only unhelpful as it does not suggest any alternatives nor gives actual reason or evidence to support such drastic action, but it is also manifestly wrong in this particular situation. OP, I have a problem like yours dt a very flaky mail server (Microsoft provided) which occasionally and without good reason locks me out with an erroneous message that my password is wrong. Evo will then start asking for passwords. I found the solution to be to cut Evo out of the mail collecting business. I use getmail and offlineimap instead for the mail collection and use Evo simply as a GUI for mail writing, reading and administering. Both mentioned programme will simply error out when the remote mail server flakes, but not go into a tail spin re wrong passwords like Evo. To check if your problem is similar to mine you would indeed need some log reading.or you could simply try it out. Less disruptive than changing a distro for spurious reasons Peter - Reply message - From: Adam Tauno Williams awill...@whitemice.org To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: [Evolution] Evolution is dying Date: Tue, May 27, 2014 21:06 On Tue, 2014-05-27 at 14:47 -0500, Jimmy Montague wrote: Hi all. Maybe I'm in the wrong place because my machine runs Ubuntu. But I did install evolution as my default mailer, and I gotta say I fell in love with it right away. Now, a week later, I booted evolution this morning and found that it doesn't remember any of my email passwords. I remembered them fine just yesterday but not this morning. I had to enter a dozen passwords into evolution one at a time, as it demanded them from me. I didn't mind that so much but, when it checked my mail again, an hour later, it wanted all the passwords AGAIN. I can't live like that. What can I do to fix it? Short answer or long? Short answer: Use a stable distribution. GNOME is broken on Ubuntu, they perform no QC and change things willy-nilly. Long answer: you are probably having under-the-covers NetworkManager and GNOME key-ring issues. See the short answer. But check your diagnostic longs and see if there are any related errors. It might be that will tell you something useful. I use Evolution 7 days a week all day - I do not see these kinds of issues. -- Adam Tauno Williams mailto:awill...@whitemice.org GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA ___ 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] IMAP mail location pointing to the evolution folder
I am no expert on either or anything , but I would be worried that concurrent file access and the indexing could cause grief if they share the same directory from my HTC - Reply message - From: AlR alp...@gmail.com To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: [Evolution] IMAP mail location pointing to the evolution folder Date: Sun, Aug 4, 2013 02:38 But my evolution was setup first and it's been there for a long time. So that means all my emails are in 'evolution' format. If I where to turn it around I would have to convert my emails to whatever mail format my IMAP would have. Why do you think that it would be inviting trouble? Is the evolution maildir different from the standard maildir? And as far as I know IMAP, or dovecot in particular, will not touch the files unless you send emails or delete emails.
