Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I'm a recent open source convert, and have faced some problems with
Evolution 2.24.3.  I'm using it with the Ubuntu 8.10 based Easy Peasy on
ASUS Eee PC1000H.

The problems are listed below:

1. Opening of multiple copies of the same message

If I have a couple of messages from the Inbox lying open, and I go to
the Inbox to (unknowingly) open those messages again, the program keeps
opening as many copies of the same message as my attempts to open it.
Shouldn't it take me to the copy that is open and keep only ONE copy
open?

2. Saving several versions of drafts

While typing messages and saving them (ctrl+shift+S) as drafts in
between, in some situations, Evolution saves as many separate versions
of the message as my attempts to save the file -- instead of refreshing
the already saved draft with added content.

3. Automated Outbox clearance

I haven't found a way to enable a forced Send/Receive of messages from
the Outbox. As messages queue up in the Outbox, they keep slipping out
on their own when the program detects a connection to the Net. I'd be
happier to see the messages queuing up in the Outbox and going only on a
forced Send/Receive -- as I could do in Outlook.

4. Accidental message send off

Many times the messages get sent off accidentally when I'm still typing
them up. I find that happening when the mouse cursor remains poised on
the Send button and somehow the Send option getting activated with the
combination of accidental pressing of some keys or possibly the pressure
of some part of the left hand on the mousepad! Unless I consciously move
the mouse cursor away from the Send button, it ends up there as the Send
button appears in the same place as the New Message Compose button.


Thanks in advance for your team's efforts to resolve the above.
