[Evolution] Losing settings

2020-05-07 Thread Theo Bao via evolution-list
1. When I update new settings in Calendar etc they are lost when I shut
down evolution and restart it.
How can I save settings permanently please?
2. Every time I start or refresh Evolution it re-downloads all messages
etc, which takes a long time.
Why cannot Evolution just update the NEW messages only (like in
Thunderbird etc)?
Thank you for the wonderful Evolution. (3.22.6 version in MX Linux)

Please provide a specific example.

Which kind of email account (POP, IMAP, etc) is that about?
What does "re-download" mean? Even without opening a message?

Hard to say without more information. Could be that your mail server is
broken, or that your Evolution settings could be changed.

Just for the records, that version is many years old.

That's very suspicious. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong
with your setup. Have you changed the default location for Evolution?
Is your home directory writeable? Are there any relevant entries in the
system log?

Maybe try running Evo from the command line and looking at the terminal
output.

[Evolution] Restrict recipient domains

2020-05-07 Thread Stephane Passignat via evolution-list
Hi,

I have several email accounts setup in evolution, several private,
several professional, ...

When I send email, I want to make sure I use the proper mail account
for the recipient. 

Is it possible to have a popup on send, when the domain or address of
at least one recipient is not "associated" to the sender account ?


thanks,
Stephane

Thanks for your patience.

This option doesn't exist here. I run 3.36.1 (by Flathub.org).
There is
very few options about HTML behavior but nothing about Plain Text
Mode... Checked also on various menu. It's french version.

Yes, I had a significant background on HTML/CSS but had to quit just
when HTML5 pop out, because brain damage. I totally figure out what you
say.

But you'r telling me that you cannot overide fancying with
conditionnal events about standardised background & font, wich sound
weird to me.

It would be great to have a button to break formating and
switch black <> white <> normal as sender, for inbox and edition
windows.
Because no need to wait to be disabled to have seeing issues nor italic
magenta trouble.
I'm not in anymore, just simple thoughts.

Thank you.

Isn't that what "Edit > Preferences > Composer Preferences > Send
Account > Use for Recipients" is for? :) (No popups though.)

[Evolution] Sometimes can't verify signature

2020-05-07 Thread Jeff Van Epps via evolution-list
Evolution is able to verify the gpg signature on some messages but on
other messages it says "Error verifying signature: Failed to execute
gpg." I have not been able to get it to tell me any details about the
error. When I run

CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution > foo.txt

the resulting file does not contain "gpg", "Error verifying signature",
or "Failed to execute gpg". It does contain "GNUPG" in two places which
both only say

status: [GNUPG:] NODATA 4

Is there a way to get it to output the actual gpg command it is
executing and the output from that command?

Also, I don't see a way to export the signature, just to help me
investigate (no attachment bar or anything). Is there one?
(FYI: Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha512;
protocol="application/pgp-signature"; )

Evolution 3.34.1-2

(Thunderbird/Enigmail verifies the signature no problem)
