Re: [Evolution] Recovering cached mail

2007-02-09 Thread Andrew Montalenti
Mbox files are defined as rfc822 mail messages split by a blank line and a line starting with From_, which is F, r, o, m and a space. It's possible some of the lines in your mbox file don't follow this convention, and maybe that's why Evolution is having a hard time parsing it. For example, I

[Evolution] Search boxes and UI meddling

2007-02-09 Thread Andrew Montalenti
Hi, I've been an Evolution user for a long time. The main reason I use Evolution is for its search/indexing features, since I have huge mail boxes and like to be able to search through them quickly. In recent versions of Evolution (I guess beyond 2.7, I'm using 2.8.1) the Search Box at the top

Totally agree. I'm nervous every time I search. Should I use the Search menu, or the Search box? Do they do the same thing or not? What about Advanced Search? Is it going to make me give a name to save the search or can I use it just once? etc. etc. The whole thing needs to be rethought IMHO.

In 2.8.x onwards, if the thread is collapsed, the date of the thread is considered to be the date of the most recent message in the thread. But if it is expanded, it doesnt follow this. You can collapse all threads (View-Collapse All Threads) may be once in a while to know, if any new messages
