I can't post to the discourse mailing list. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/msg00209.html I spend more than 1 hour to subscribe to a mailing list that doesn't work. Usually subscribing to a list takes a few minutes, sometimes just a few seconds or a minute and after that it works without issues.

I will definitely not go through this. I am not a very active user here (although reading this list is a very interesting way of learning of potential problems one may have with Evolution - to my luck I have none of them, and the ones that I had were successfully resolved :)). If there will be no real mailing list as a replacement, I will simply leave. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Go to your Preferences, then click on Emails (on the left).

[Evolution] My first attempt to migrate to Discourse
Hi, 1. I opened https://discourse.gnome.org/ with Waterfox. 2. I clicked "Log In" 3. I clicked "with GitHub" 4. Evolution retrieved emails 5. I copied the verification code to the GidHub device verification 6. "GNOME Discourse by GNOME Infrastructure Automation Bot wants to access your R-a-l-f account" 7. I authorized gnomesysadmins 8. Authorizing did redirect to https://discourse.gnome.org 9. "Welcome! Let's create your account" 10. I clicked "Create your account" 11. White text on a shadowed forum interface: "Your first notification! Select it to begin. I'll read it later. Not your first time? Skip these tips" 12. I read the "Greetings! Thanks for joining GNOME Discourse, and welcome! I’m only a robot, but our friendly staff are also here to help if you need to reach a person. For safety reasons, we temporarily limit what new users can do. You’ll gain new abilities (and badges) as we get to know you. We believe in civilized community behavior at all times. If you’d like to learn more, select below and bookmark this personal message. If you do, there may be a :gift: in your future!" 13. I clicked the search icon and searched for "applicati...@discourse.gnome.org" 14. The search returned "No results found." 15. I searched for "evolution" "in all topics and posts" 16. I selected the latest entry with the tags "Applications" "evolution" "calendar" 17. I clicked the "evolution" tag 18. I muted the bell icon. I've got no idea how to continue to subscribe to a mailing list behaviour, let alone that I still would have to change the GitHub mail account for Discourse to my Evolution mailing list account. 19. I should search my Evolution mailing list emails. IIRC somebody sent a howto. Maybe I will do so, but not right now. Even if we should be able to use this thingy as a mailing list, there will unlikely be a lot of new subscribers who are friends of mailing lists, hence new subscribers will probably not follow posting style etiquette (if this should be possible at all), let alone that Evolution Discourse subscribers that were using it way before we subscribe(ed), unlikely will care about those of us, who are in favour of mailing list style and etiquette. This was my first attempt to migrate to Discourse. It failed, since the forum interface isn't intuitive to use. The layout is a PITA, absolutely nothing easily leads to a mailing list behaviour.
