I would like to bring some light onto the subject by discussing it here on the mailing list. The issue I'm talking about is about Search Folders which cannot filter out only uncompleted Follow-Ups, it's described here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446316 I know that a great many people which comes from the Outlook-world uses this feature very much. Just was a temporary workaround, does anyone know how I could make my personal build with this feature existing? Since you already can create a search folder and match those emails tagged as Follow-Ups, you should be able to narrow that filter some to just match Uncompleted Follow-Ups? Rgds, Thomas This seems doable now, at least with svn head. Create search folder with rules ala attached png. When emails are marked Followup, they appear in the folder, when they are marked complete, they no longer appear in the folder. reid attachment: Screenshot-EditSearchFolder.png___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] New install of Evo, need sigs from old .evo file
Hi all, I have just spat the dummy over Palm synch with Evo. Copied my .evo file to another partition and did a clean install of Mandriva 2007 Spring (formatted the home dir as well). Then moved the .evolution file back to the ~/ . Had to set up all my mail accounts by hand (bummer) but I would like to get my Signature files back into use. I can see them in the .evo/signatures folder, but they do not show up in the sig tab in the mail client. How do I get them back please?

There is no information in either csv or ldif about mailing lists - or contact lists as Evolution calls them. How about this as a workaround - export each of your mailling lists from Thunderbird as a separate file, then import them into Evo each as a separate Addressbook. Now within Evo create all your Contact Lists and drag and drop addresses from the individual addressbooks into each list - that should be easy because each time you want an entire addressbook, so you just highlight everything. So you are maintaining the structure by using different files, and maintaining the structure means that it's easy to create the contact lists. That is perfect! It should do the job, great idea. Now, I do not know how technically to do it though. Can you give me some guidance as to how to: (1) Export each of my mailing lists from Thunderbird as a separate file? When I open Thunderbird and open the address book, and go to its tools - Export window, there seems to be only the option to export the entire address book. Perhaps the way to do it would be to create a separate address book for each mailing list? And then export the address book? If that is the way to do it, then I need to find out how to create another address book and copy and paste the mailing list to it. If this is the proper approach and you know how, then kindly guide me. (2) When I do the import into Evo, I should import each list as a separate address book. How do I do that? Here are the instructions I know for doing an import of addresses: In Evolution, * Go to Contacts Window View * Click File -- Import * Go ahead and select import a single file option when asked * Select the file we created when exporting from Thunderbird * Then import the contacts So, where in this sequence do I select that I want the addresses to go into a separate address book?

There is no information in either csv or ldif about mailing lists - or contact lists as Evolution calls them. Actually I was wrong - the LDIF format does contain information about address lists and it does import them properly into Evo. (1) Export each of my mailing lists from Thunderbird as a separate file?

Create the address book first (File - New - Address book) then it asks you towards the end where to import the file to.
