[Bug 1299604] Re: evolution keeps asking for password

2017-05-19 Thread Bob English
It's been more than 3 years that this bug started, and it is still not
fixed!!!

I had this problem in Ubuntu from 15.04 all the way to 17.04, and now in
SolydK where it is even worse because none of the 10 possible ways to
get gnome-keyring-deamon to start on login to work!!!

I have tried every workaround offered, and although one or the other
works here or there, it is completely inconsistant as to what will and
will not work at any given time, and once you found a "Solution" you
update the OS or something, and it fails again, then you can try every
freakin' option all over again!!  Its easier to break into the World
Bank and crack the safe!

If no one is capable of fixing the problem, then why not just change the
way it works (doesn't work) all together:

Dump the freaking gnome keyring dependancy completely, and make
evolution remember passwords on it's own without it!  It would have many
advantages.

[Bug 1626893] Re: Spell check does not change misspelled words

2017-03-09 Thread Bob English
May I add:  I misspelled a few words, and as described above, clicking
on the proper spelling did not change them, so I corrected them manually
and that worked for all but one word: Imbecile.  No matter what I did
the red underline kept reappearing, even after I deleted it and typed it
anew!  The spell checking in Evolution has always been shaky like that:
Highlighting correctly spelled words, whole rows of words, and the
highlight remaining after correction.

This problem is in addition to a few others, and the whole spell check
system needs a closer look at.

If This helps: I use both English and German, and have corrections for
both no matter which language I am using at the time.  Other programs
have the document's language set somewhere and only spell check that
language.  It is required to switch languages in order to also switch
the spell check to that language.  I think having spell checkers in more
than one language running at the same time may be a part of the problem.

[Bug 1299604] Re: evolution keeps asking for password

2016-12-15 Thread Bob English
Observations that may be of help (maybe not):

I too have this problem, or some version thereof (It seams to effect
everyone differently).

Evolution has never asked me for a password just to start up.  It always
launches fine.

I have the auto retrieve setting at 10 minutes for all accounts.

I have several accounts from several providers.

I also have 7 accounts for my business, with addresses to my own website
something@mydomain.

Each account has a different password and each password has at least one
special character: !@#$...

At any given time/day (completely at random) I too get one or more "can
not authenticate" prompts asking for the password to one or more email
accounts.  They all are affected, and which one is affected at any given
time is also completely random

If It prompts me for a GMail account password (3 accounts) It only asks
for the one, and repeats every ten minutes even when I type in the
password, it does not accept it.

For my business accounts however, It sometimes asks for the passwords of
all of them (7 accounts), but not always.

closing and restarting evolution works sometimes, sometimes "Kill All"
is necessary, and sometimes I have to reboot the PC.

To me it looks like this behavior just may be triggered by different
events.  I have had similar messages (a few each year) with Thunderbird
too, but mainly with Gmail (server overload???) once or twice with
Hotmail.  Never with my own domain.

I am on Ubuntu Studio 16.4 with Xfce4
Evolution 3.18.5.2  (still way better than Firefox!)

[Bug 1517330] [NEW] Evolution 3.16.5 does not wrap text in message body

2015-11-17 Thread Bob English
Public bug reported:

In received emails, the text does not wrap to the window.  When opened
in a new window it does not either.  There are no horizontal scroll
bars. There is no setting anywhere for it, but then again who needs a
setting for something that should be native behavior.

When composing a message, I can set it to wrap the text from the format
menu (It should be the default), and it works for the message I am
writing, but not on the original message that I am replying to below it.

I have to copy longer messages, and paste them into a text editor, in
order to read them.

Ubuntu 15.10

Executable:  /usr/bin/evolution
Package:   /usr/bin/evolution

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
