The other half is that when I've wrote a mail and press the send button I want the mail to be sent at once if my Internet connection is active and otherwise be put in the outgoing folder. The only way to achieve this seems to be by using the Evo online/offline state. I think the ultimate behaviour would be like this: When I push send on a mail it would try to send it at once using my smtp server and if that fails just silently put it in my outgoing folder instead. The same would be nice for getting mail: Every tenth minute (or whatever I set in my settings) when Evolution checks my pop3 account, then if it can't reach it (which would probobly be because I'm not connected to Internet) it would just silently let it be. Maybe a setting for this? I would fix it myself if only I had the time... /Daniel ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Do you have a different domain name at home and at the office? Try to get a cname in both domains that has the same name and points to the smtp server.

My mail gateways are both sendmail, and will attempt to deliver directly to the final destination and then fall back to the ISP's mail server (The setting is confFALLBACK_MX in sendmail.mc.) You could run sendmail on your client with this setup, so it bypasses the ISP mail server in most cases and only uses the server if the final destination turns your client away. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

How about creating two accounts, one for each smtp server. I don't know if it possible to have two accounts with the same email address, but if you can this should do the trick. Of course, you would still have to manually enable/disable each account when switching from a work setting to a home setting and vice-versa, to avoid waiting for a time-out from one of the accounts every time you check email. -- Janus Christensen __ I want something that'll give me the stamina of a young werewolf, the vision of a shaman, the thoughts of a serial killer and the gentleness of a hungry vampire bat. -- Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

You can also just have a local name like "smtp" in your /etc/hosts file, and you won't need your provider's assistance. If you arrange that that entry changes when you connect in different places, everything will work transparently. [Well, you may still have issues with authentication being different in the two places.] In order to get arbitrary config files changed when you log in at different places, I use an excellent little program called "intuitively". It probes your network to see where you are, and based on the results, configures whatever files you want. - Ian ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

I also tried it with "local delivery" instead of pop. There's a big file called mbox.ibex. What is that?

[Evolution] Cascading Evolutions
Hey, Got a sort of involved newbie question. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Mutt user who recently started using Evolution. Thus far, I have been very happy with Evolution's performance. I'd like to take it to the next level. I have an internal mailserver that is either receiving mail via smtp or for one account popping to an external server. So the mail resides on the internal server, where my workstation pops the mail into Evolution, where it is then racked, packed and stacked into folders for my viewing pleasure. Now the complex part. I would like to, nondestructively, use Evolution on my laptop to read mails coming into either a) my workstation or b) the mailserver when the workstation is down or otherwise unavailable. In theory, I would like to be able to subscribe to the folders on defiant (the workstation), as well as set up a similar virtual folder layout on the laptop...I have tried subscribing to folders on defiant from the laptop, but nothing changes on Evolution. Whats the best way to go about this? Also, my company is issuing certificates for signing emails. I got an email from a coworker, and the little "this message is digitally signed" padlock, but when I check the signature on the message, it gives me "Evolution does not recognize this type of signed message." Is this a future functionality for Evolution? Notes: mailserver (vorcha) - SPARC 20/Debian woody (testing) workstation (defiant) - Athlon 1GHz/Debian sid (unstable) laptops (orinoko) - Tecra 8000/Debian sid (unstable) defiant and orinoko are both running the debs of Evolution. -- --Brad Bradley M.

[Evolution] POP changes, rewrite/etc [head]
I've just checked in a new implementation of POP3 to the head version of camel/evolution. The main changes are: - downloads backed by a cache, which isn't often used but could save time sometimes - asynchronous downloads, if the server reports it supports PIPELINING, multiple commands are sent without waiting for replies. - removed KPOP authentication mechanism. Reportedly it isn't used very widely, and any that do use AUTH KERBEROS_V4 as well. - added support for SASL authentication mechanisms, although so far only AUTH LOGIN tested. Main difference - if your server reports it supports pipelined commands, and you are on a slow, remote, link (i.e. high latency), you should see significant performance increases if you are downloading lots of small messages (like upto 5-10x faster overall, including the 'deleting messages' part). I've done a fair bit of testing, including cancellation and whatnot, but no doubt something will have slipped through. Maybe there should also be an option to turn on pipelining even if the server doesn't say it can do it (its been implemented in a way that works on many other servers too). Most of the progress reporting should have made it from the old code, but if your server doesn't support UIDL, the process of creating uid's isn't reported very well. This doesn't affect many people, and this step should be >> faster than it used to be anyway. So just keep an eye out if you use pop, i'd like to know if there's any problems like: - mishandled downloads - cancellation misbehaviour - interoperability with existing configs - build problems - memory leaks, particularly in exceptional circumstances - etc. Thanks, Michael ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
