User should be able to set a photo from plugin-configure. The plugin should also support resizing the photo by itself. I did some of these changes but missed the freeze dead-line. So all these can go only after branching for Evo-2.14 is done. Matthew: I was not aware of the ~/.face thing.

It was Sankar's hackweek idea project. I really don't remember the full details of it. Off to you Sankar.

If you're running Evolution 2.11.90, it's right above the main calendar, similar to where the "Show" combo box is on the Mail component (although it looks like we have a padding issue around it).

In the preferences window, users can choose which spam/junk filter they want to use and some nice SPAM options too available. With 2.12 Evolution can train SpamAssasin or Bogofilter with the 'Junk' (SPAM) and 'Not Junk' (HAM). > > > * Backup restore support > > What does this actually allow the user to do?

What does it do, and when? It reminding you of a missing attachment in case you are sending a mail. When you compose a message, it searches for some predefined strings and popups up a attachment warning. http://gnomebangalore.org/~sragavan/2.12/attachment-reminder.png These strings are configurable and comes with a default-set that works mostly for English. Locale specific strings needed to be added by the user atm. Again, this is a Plugin and needs to be enabled/disabled in the plugins and the configuration is also in the plugins dialog only. > > > * Evolution Exchange > > * Better offline support > How is this noticeable?

The message list is filled up with cache, before getting/updating messages from the server. So that the user can read messages from the cache, while the fetching is happening in the background. This is the case with all Evolution providers and just made it the same way for Exchange also. > > * Delegation support It is like making someone act on behalf of you.

With just the space bar key, the user can scroll the message preview window. When the preview window reaches the bottom, on next 'space bar' it selects the next unread mail in the same folder if not, it wraps down the message list. When all the mails are read, the focus is moved to the next folder.
