[Evolution] Feature request - live debug
On a slow internet connection line - watching my 'sending messages - 25%' - wondering whats going on... It would be handy to view the live, raw interaction of what is going on at times, whether for downloading or sending - restricted to significant events (SSL validation, mail header exchange, data count every 10Kb - etc). One might view this by mouse over the dynamic info bars at the bottom of the evolution screen? or is there a log file option I'm unaware of? -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - (South) Africa /| /| / /__ m...@posix.co.za - Mark J Elkins, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496 smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

This should be done without needing debugging variables because when I want to know why it is slow or unresponsive, I wasn't planning on that happening. And, often when that happens Evolution does not *want* to shut down. It can take literal *minutes* for Evolution to decide to quit when an IMAP connection has gone wonky. You can always force-kill it of course but I hate doing that. After all, if it was completely safe to force-close then why is Evolution waiting instead of quitting? Which would be the question that the interaction log would answer. Plus, it is just neat to have. ___ 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] evolutio forgets my passwords every start
Every time I start evolution I am prompted for passwords for accounts on one of the IMAP servers. My evolution is configured for multiple IMAP accounts on two different servers. At startup evolution hangs for a long time, but finally prompts for the passwords, which are already lists as dots, so I just submit and it works. This location does not seem to matter. Even after cleanly restarting the program it happens again. I launched the program in debug mode: export CAMEL_DEBUG=all strace /usr/bin/evolution > evo.$Date.log 2>&1 but the output is useless and the file is 134M. Nothing about password in the log. I am using evolution 2.32.3 on gentoo stable. I need some advice.

Make that "an indeterminate number of hours". IIRC I once left it waiting for a several days and it didn't time out. > You can always force-kill it of course but I hate doing that.

AFAIK it *is* always safe to force-shutdown. I've never lost a single email in many years of recovering from hangs in multiple versions of Evo. Which is why I can't understand why Evo can't just timeout a hung connection after a minute or two and restart it. Mail systems are designed very conservatively to be able to survive flaky connections. Of course some hangs may be due to internal deadlocks, but poor network connections simply should not cause this. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
