Re: [Evolution] Evolution 3.0.3 -- when?
Quoting Jonathan Ryshpan : I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about 6 weeks now, and it has some very serious problems, which I can summarize as: 1. It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window. 2. It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it 3. It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. 4. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. 5. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. 6. It often refuses to move messages, which can be copied and then deleted producing the same effect. I have read that after a single message has been copied into a folder it will then always be possible to move messages into the folder; but this is not so. 7. Deleted messages often do not disappear from a message list, even when "Show deleted messages" is not active, though they do appear in strikeout type. Selecting another folder and then returning to the first folder makes the messages disappear from the list. I'm Evolution in GNOME3 on openSUSE 11.4 and I don't believe I've encountered any of these issues. IMO, #2 sounds like the problem lies elsewhere, not in Evolution. I know I've never seen #4. Do 6 & 7 only affect local folders (POP) or remote (IMAP/IMAPX) folders as well? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Evolution for Windows
Is there version of Evolution that can be used in Windows? I have Win 7 x64. At least three times a year I want to learn Linux, but have not been successful. Is there a book that I can use to learn Linux. Have a good weekend, Thanks, Aleks Dimex Sales, Inc. P.O.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution for Windows
Hi :) The best way to learn Gnu&Linux is to jump into a test-drive with a LiveCd and explore it for yourself. You seem to have completed the first step of becoming familiar with how to get help, ie using forums and mailing lists. Also i guess you are already familiar with OpenSource programs such as FireFox/Chrome/Opera instead of IE and LibreOffice/OpenOffice instead of MS Office. 2nd step is to try a few "LiveCd sessions" to test-drive them on your machine without installing anything. You could do this in a Virtual Machine to avoid needing to burn a Cd/Dvd to boot-up from. Oddly we often say "LiveCd" even when using Usb-sticks, Memory-cards, Dvds. The important point is that you set you bios's boot-order to look for the appropriate device before looking at the hard-drive. When you boot-up a LiveCd the system that is installed on your hard-drive does not get affected. You can try to save things onto your hard-drive but it's not easy to do so. So, when you reboot back into the system that is on your hard-drive there is no trace of the LiveCd session (well, it doesn't bypass whatever tracking your isp does). So a few LiveCd sessions are good for taking Gnu&Linux for a test-drive. Notice that although Cd/dvd-drives are about 100 times slower than a hard-drive Gnu&Linux will still probably be faster than the Windows on the hard-drive. This is partly due to the way it uses Ram more efficiently. 3rd step is probably to try installing a distro on an old machine, if you have one lurking around in a cupboard, or in an attic or can rescue one from some offices or from a skip or something. You probably don't need to do this step but it's a good way of getting used to installing an OS if you haven't tried doing that before. Also it gives you a chance to test a lot of different ways of installing. Dual-boot is the best one to try first imo. Another advantage of trying on an old machine is to show how much faster Gnu&Linux tends to be and how well it can run even on an old machine. You don't need to keep upgrading your machine so much and it allows you to access data that you might have thought was not worth spending the time to copy off an old machine. 4th is probably to install as a dual-boot on your main machine. Again this leaves the Windows side almost untouched. Each time you boot-up you will get a choice of whether to use Gnu&Linux or Windows for that session. I have a multi-boot with 3 versions of Gnu&Linux all able to share the same data quite easily. To start with it's worth setting Windows as the default to boot into so that you only boot into Gnu&Linux when you choose to. Later on you could switch back to having the Gnu&Linux as the default choice. Now when i want to install Gnu&Linux on a machine i do step 2 to check hardware compatibility. On older machines and oddly enough on ultra-new machines too i sometimes have to try 2 or 3 different distros from different "families" to find one that behaves nicely. Then when i find one i like on that machine i install as a dual-boot. The LiveCd session usually allows you to install while you are still trying out the LiveCd so it's easy to play games or surf the internet at the same time as installing the OS to the hard-drive. Step 2 and 4 can take as little as a couple of hours even on an old machine. Unlike Windows the install usually includes a bunch of useful programs with reasonable defaults. Typically you can expect to find stuff to; surf the internet, make use of social networking, torrenting thing, multi-media players, dvd/cd burner, office suite, games such as space invaders, chess, 'mahjong', suduko. Also, crucially, a "Package Manager" that has a search tool so that you can search for other programs or codecs, drivers, libraries, add-ons and things. The package manager handles downloading, installing and updating for you. Usually you wont need to reboot and once you have chosen a program it tends to give you the most up-to-date version so you wont need to update or apply patches or anything. When you first install the OS you will probably want to update but this update runs through a package manager and updates all programs and everything all in one go. With Gnu&Linux you don't need to hunt around various different websites for things to install; worrying about whether they have been compromised or anything. You can if you want but it is better to let the Package Manager handle all of that. The best way to learn Gnu&Linux is to jump into a test-drive with a LiveCd and explore it for yourself.

As far as I know https://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#Does_a_version_for_Microsoft.28R.2CTM.2CC.2Cwhatever.29_Windows.28R.2CTM.2CC.2Cwhatever.29_exist.3F is up-to-date and 2.32 is the latest version for Windows available. I don't think that there is a 3.0 version for Windows (yet?), as Fridrich (who's been providing these packages) is busy with other stuff (and he has created these Windows versions in his freetime). > At least three times a year I want to learn Linux, but have not been > successful.
