Sorry to trouble you with continued problems... I have created a new account for myself using KDE, and am slowly bringing in data from my old home directory. I backed up my old evolution data, started evolution in a clean directory, and restored the backed up data. Started evolution, went through the initialization process, giving the type of incoming mail delivery "Local Delivery", the location of the mailbox ("Configuration Path") from which it should be fetched as /var/spool/mail/jonrysh, and the location and password for the smtp server to which outgoing mail is to be sent. Now outgoing mail works fine, however...
Incoming mail is never included. When I click "Send/Receive" a progress box appears very briefly (maybe about 100 msec), about the time it has appeared in the past for an empty spool file, no mail in included, and the mail spool file is unchanged. There is some odd stuff in an strace log, which is appended below. It looks like evolution is attempting to access the mail spool file as a directory. Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? futex(0x3b869164e8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 futex(0x2388fc0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 access("/var/spool/mail/jonrysh", F_OK) = 0 stat("/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db", 0x7fffe2a698c0) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) open("/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) open("/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) access("/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/mbox/var/spool/mail/jonrysh", F_OK) = 0 stat("/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/mbox/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10240, ...}) = 0 open("/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/mbox/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0644) = 49 fcntl(49, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(49, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fstat(49, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10240, ...}) = 0 lseek(49, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 read(49, "SQLite format 3\0\4\0\1\1\0@ \0\0\0+\0\0\0\n"..., 100) = 100 fcntl(49, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = 0 fcntl(49, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741826, len=510}) = 0 fcntl(49, F_SETLK, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = 0 futex(0x3b968995e0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 access("/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/mbox/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db-journal", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) fstat(49, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10240, ...}) = 0 access("/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/mbox/var/spool/mail/jonrysh/folders.db-wal", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) fstat(49, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=10240, ...}) = 0 BTW: I'm also having trouble with **very** small fonts. There are instructions on the web about how to fix this by starting the gnome configuration server, but they are for gnome-2.x, while I'm running Fedora-15, which includes the very different gnome-3.x thanks - jon _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
