I just upgraded to Debian 11. I had been using Debian 10. I've used
Evolution for many years. The version in Debian 11 is 3.48.
I use KDE Plasma version 5.26.90. The KDE Frameworks version is
5.102.0.
I get pop-up notes from KDE that evolution has received new messages.
But the messages don't appear in Evolution. I know it's not a mail
server problem because I can read the messages in Firefox -- but
Firefox doesn't have access to my archive, so I can't save anything (on
my own computer). If I were to work out how to get Firefox to save
them, and if I ever get Evolution working again, the messages won't be
in Evolution's format, and the other Evolution data structures won't be
updated.
There was a note about "messages not appearing in Evolution" many years
ago. It turned out to have been caused by the user's configuration
mistake. When I looked for that mistake in my configuration (which I
hadn't touched), I hadn't made it.
Does anybody have any suggestions to get it working?
When I installed Debian 11, I didn't destroy Debian 10. I still have
Debian 10 on a different drive. In attempting to repair an entirely
different problem, I had done
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
on the advice of a posting in one of the Debian forums. Now, in Debian
10, there's a mish-mash of Debian 11 parts. Evolution is version 3.46.
It works, but the user interface is now a mess. Icons are tiny and in
different places. The body has a black border between itself and the
window border. The title bar for the composer is entirely different
from the title bar of any other window -- about three times as thick,
containing several icons, including the "send" icon.
Does anybody have any suggestions to repair it?
