[Evolution] Request: check mbox folders before entering not after exiting
I'm using exim to deliver mail, with rules in my .forward to send messages for a couple mailing lists to the appropriate mbox files: if $header_x-beenthere: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then save evolution/local/MailingLists/subfolders/evolution/mbox endif This appears to work fine, but if messages arrive while evolution is running, it doesn't update the status in the Folders bar (e.g. the unread count). If I click on the folder in the Folders bar, evolution doesn't show the new messages in the message list. However, when when I click into a different folder evolution does then update the status in the Folder list, and if I go back to the folder the new messages are there. It would make a lot more sense to me if the state of the folder was checked when it was entered instead of when it was left. (If I'm doing something totally stupid here, feel free to tell me! I've read in the archives about using IMAP and filtering into its folders, but that just doesn't appeal to me; I much prefer to have my email under my $home. Also, I know about Evolution's filters, but I'd rather have the email filing for most mailing lists happening while Evolution isn't running, since I also occasionally access my mail spool file by other methods.) Thanks to all the developers for a great program! Note that I'm running version 0.99.2, from the package included in Debian unstable.

[Evolution] Repeating tasks?
Is there any way to set up a repeating task? I'm trying to migrate from Outlook, and I have quite a few tasks that repeat, both at fixed intervals (e.g. every two weeks) and at a time relative to the completion of the current occurance (e.g. again in three days). Does (or if not, will) Evolution support this? Thanks! Randy ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

[Evolution] Strange calendar bug(s)
It's strange, because it's so obvious, but I can't find it in bugzilla. Here's my repro script: Go to the calendar folder Click Week view Click New Appointment Enter Test for Summary Enter today and 6pm for Start Time Enter today and 7pm for End Time Click Save and Close Observe that the Start Time as displayed in today's box on the calendar is 559pm This is 100% reproducable for me. It happened with 0.99.2, and is still happening now with 1.0. I'm using the package from debian unstable. I would report this in bugzilla, but since it's so obvious I have to suspect that it's something wrong with my installation, rather than a real bug. Any suggestions? (There are a host of other similar little calendar bugs, as well. Such as: Click Day View on the Toolbar, click Go To on the Toolbar, click Go To Today, get Wednesday (it's Friday); or click on Saturday in the month calendar on the main view and get Thursday, or the test appointment that I just created in Week View on Friday shows up in day view on Thursday... What's going on???) ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Ok, I've set up a separate maildir folder (~/evolution/IncomingLists/ -- will that ever conflict with Evolution?) that exim moves mailing list messages to (to get them out of my mail spool file, so that my mail status in gnome-panel gives a reasonable count). If mail arrives in that folder while Evolution is open, the filters that I've set up file it into the appropriate mbox folder in Local Folders. This all works fine, but... When I open Evolution there's typically already a large pile of mail in the IncomingLists folder, but the filter rules aren't automatically applied to those messages. I can select all the messages and do Apply Filters manually, but I'd like it to happen automatically (preferably in the background somehow). Is this possible, or just something to hope for in some future release? (I'm still using 0.99.2 from Debian unstable.) (I'd still prefer to just have exim drop the messages directly into the appropriate mbox folder under Local Folders, and save Evolution from doing the move.)

It would also be nice to be able to at least get rid of the "Local Folders" Inbox/Outbox/Drafts/Trash and just use my IMAP folders. Either still have them appear under Local Folders and just be aliases to the IMAP ones, or remove them completely from Local Folders. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
[Evolution] Can I tell evo that my IMAP server is local?
I'm using an IMAP server to access my mail files; the files and server are both on my local machine. Evolution apparently caches the headers of all messages, and bodies of opened messages; the cache takes up more space than the mail itself: $ du Mail/ | tail -1 23204 Mail $ du evolution/mail/imap | tail -1 24284 evolution/mail/imap Is there any way that I can tell evolution not to bother caching the bodies and headers of mail that's is itself local?
