I have probably a more than 20 years mail archive. Mutt (running directly on
the server and accessing directly Maildirs on the server) handles it without
any problem.

Yes, I use Dovecot (and Evolution as IMAP client) as well, for emails that
are written in HTML only, have big image attachments etc. But I handle most
of my mail by ssh'ing to the server and running Mutt directly there. With
absolutely no issues.

Quite.  But to make you slightly less disappointed - I don't think
there is a direct method of doing what you want, but as a one-off I
would probably highlight,then cut or right-click the text into an
editor. All bets are off if it's an HTML formatted bit of text.

I mailed the freedesktop people a couple of days ago:

but have had no reply.

Possibly that isn't the right mailing address, but it was the only one

Because sometimes another application grabs an email and marks it as
read before your Evolution can see it. 

Anyway, in another email that seems to have been tagged as spam and is
awaiting moderation I said that you need to look at the bar above the
message list and make sure the "Show:" drop down says "All Messages"
and not something like "Read Messages".

But I see yet another of my messages has been tagged as spam for no

Help -> Contents -> Common Mail Questions

Primarily check that you don't have any search terms imposed and that
the Show: next to the search box is set to "All Messages".

Hi,
ok, I missed the information "gz package". Perhaps you need to move the
data by just coping folders. But for the moment let's forget about this
and check something else.
It says there is new mail via a notification popup, but there is
nothing in the inbox or anywhere else.
Select the Inbox folder. On top, beside the search bar, there's a
"Show:" box. If it doesn't show "All Messages" or "Unread Messages",
then select either one or the other. Perhaps you accidentally moved the
scroll wheel, while the mouse cursor hovered over this box and you might
have selected "Read Messages" or something else.
After you corrected this for the Inbox, check other folders, too.

Ok, we can tolerate top posting, HTML and untrimmed posts, even while
you were asked to at least not top post and to trim quotes.

At least I can't tolerate that you copied the content of an email into

By mail server software do you mean SMTP, or IMAP, or something else?

The htop program tells me my Dovecot is using 0% CPU, 0% memory, so I
doubt it would tax your i3. At worst you might need to buy a big 7200
RPM spinning rust disk to add to your existing disks.

I think my words were "I don't think any email client on earth is built
to hold that volume of email." I didn't say it was impossible: I was
saying it's an off-label use and probably has side effects. And also
that it locks you to a single email client.

If you think you can use Evolution to store 27 years of email, go for
it. I was just trying to be helpful by describing the setup I've enjoyed
for ten years, on three different distros. 

>Clearly it is doing fine on the VM.

Then it should be pretty easy to exploit the differences between the
metal version and the VM version to figure out the root cause of the
metal version's problem.

Hi,

Evolution can handle >1 decade with lots of POP accounts, archiving lots
of heavy traffic mailing lists and countless private mails. There isn't
a trace to assume that it might change.

Later I started using Claws parallel to Evolution and a while back I
discontinued using Claws. I don't know if the amount of emails is
related to the issues I experienced with Claws.

If it should be different when using Evolution with IMAP, then it would
be another reason to be in favour of POP.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designed to go?

2022-11-05 Thread Mike

Steve is it 27 years and my mail server (mail.netwright.net) sits a meter
from my left leg.
I don't use a third party for email. Never have since 1994, when I set up
my first mail server on a unit running Slackware Unix. [Believe it or not,
rather than running Sendmail, I was using server software from a company --
long gone -- which was called alibaba.com (funny how the name popped up
again in the oddest of ways).] And then to mail server software called
Merak on a WIndows box before switching Debian 4 or 5 and Surgemail which I
am still running.
That server by my left leg is doing quite a bit, BIND, apache2 web,
Intermapper network monitoring as well as the mail server software. [It is
running as a Debian VM on Core i3 processor. :-) Did I mention that I am
retired and no longer have big iron?] So it isn't a good depository for my
mail.
If you and other are say evolution can't do it, (even though it runs like a
champ on a VM I created on my desktop) then I will leave it as a repository
for my other mail and move on. However, it has been my experience that
there is a potential bias from those who do things differently to say, 'it
can't do that' when they really don't know. Clearly it is doing fine on the
VM. It was the export to the true desktop and the import on that new
desktop that seems to have created the problem.
[Yours were the same complaints I head about Outlook and the size of the
mail. So I broke the PST's up and never had a problem, over five separate
PC's as the PST's were exportable and backups are great things. so long as
there is code that can import the backup.]
The only reason I chose evolution was because it could import the PST files
(multiple ones) I kept mail in in Outlook. In Outlook, my current mail was
not in the same data file as the archive mail.
Steve Litt wrote:
Mike said on Fri, 04 Nov 2022 13:23:37 +
[snip apologies.
Until seven days ago, and for thirty years prior to
that, I was a user of Microsoft Office Outlook. (That's the client on
the desktop, not the online service.) I had thirty years of business
and personal correspondence in it. A lot of it in many, many folders
and nested folders.) It is what kept me on Windows on this last PC
when everything else I had was running Debian Linux.
[snip explanation of no new emails]
I have 20 years and probably more email messages than you spoke of. I
don't think any email client on earth is built to hold that volume of
email.
But the Dovecot IMAP server is, and handles it with ease and grace. My
email client is simply a window into my IMAP server (plus of course a
way to compose and send). It's been working this way, without a hitch,
since 2012.
An added bonus of using Dovecot is my email archives are no longer tied
to a specific email client. When I got angry at Claws-Mail a few months
ago, I quickly and easily switched to Evolution, with no data transfer
or conversion. When it looked like the mailing list I rely on would
vanish, I went back to Claws-Mail, no hassle. If and when the mailing
list gets resolved, I'll switch back to Evolution, no hassle.
An email client might be a good place to store four figures of emails,
but beyond that, in my opinion, a local Dovecot server is the way to go.

[snip explanation of no new emails]

I have 20 years and probably more email messages than you spoke of. I
don't think any email client on earth is built to hold that volume of
email.

But the Dovecot IMAP server is, and handles it with ease and grace. My
email client is simply a window into my IMAP server (plus of course a
way to compose and send). It's been working this way, without a hitch,
since 2012.

An added bonus of using Dovecot is my email archives are no longer tied
to a specific email client. When I got angry at Claws-Mail a few months
ago, I quickly and easily switched to Evolution, with no data transfer
or conversion. When it looked like the mailing list I rely on would
vanish, I went back to Claws-Mail, no hassle. If and when the mailing
list gets resolved, I'll switch back to Evolution, no hassle.

An email client might be a good place to store four figures of emails,
but beyond that, in my opinion, a local Dovecot server is the way to go.
