[Evolution] A breakdown in my evolution under F17

2012-08-23 Thread Aaron Konstam
I have F17 installed on 2 F17 machines. On one I use evolution regularly
on the other I use evolution hardly at all. But suddenly both evolution
programs broke down in the same way. On one machine when I did a send
and receive I was presented with the downloading of 255 messages.
Normally I have no more that 100 on that machine. After downloading i
had 206 messages in my Inbox. At the top were the real non-junk e-mails
followed by 100 or so junk e-mails which repeated themselves and
appeared in descending date order.

So I went to the other machine with the evolution that I rarely use and
whose configuration I have not changed recently. Its behavior was the
same as on the first machine.

Both machine use evolution 3.4.5

Both machines use a POP server so I wondered if the POP server was
having problems. But went I went to my wife's machine using Outlook
there were no problems.

Has any one have any idea what may be going on?
How could I re-install the evolution from scratch?.

If you download again to they repeat again?  If you look at the
duplicates headers does the Message-ID actually repeat, or is it
different?

But how long between looking at Evo(s) and trying Outlook?

REINSTALLING WILL NOT HELP, DO NOT DO THAT.

You can delete the messages, see that the mailbox is empty.  Delete the
POP account.  And restart Evolution.   If it really is an Evolution
problem that will be enough.  Then re-add the POP account.

Looks like you just got a lot of spam?

 whose configuration I have not changed recently. Its behavior was the

There is no 3.4.5 as far as I know.

 Both machines use a POP server so I wondered if the POP server was
 having problems. But went I went to my wife's machine using Outlook
 there were no problems.

As long as she does have a different account that does not mean
anything.

I guess that will not change anything. Before you go retrieve your
messages next time, you could check beforehand by logging into your
providers Web interface.


Thanks and good luck,

Paul

 Evolution supports GroupDAV / CardDAV [in Evo it is called WebDAV] for
 contacts and CalDAV for tasks, events, and memos.  And Evolution is just
 about the only client to actually support *attachments* via CalDAV for
 tasks and appointments - which is simply awesome.

That's pretty interesting. I didn't take time for that up to now :-( 
Can you describe a concrete scenario of usage of all that ?
What Server would you suggest ?

I made a mistake. I am running evolution 3.4.3.

 Hi Reid,
 Thanks for the link concerning the way to get a tri-state status: 
 
   * spam 
   * ham 
   * unsure 
 I'm testing this after having proceed to the following:
 
   * Using a terminal, I've opened the file bogofilter.cf (in
 ubuntu it is located in /etc/). Then I've saved it with a new
 name, puting a .old inside the name, ( bogofilter.old.cf ) in
 order to keep an original copy on my disk. Close it. Then
 reopen bogofilter.cf and modify/save it, according to advices
 written in this file - ie: uncomment lines in paragraphs
 CUTOFF_VALUES, SPAM_SUBJECT_TAG, and add rules as explained. 
 I will post back after having receive enough messages and get
 experience.

If I recall correct, there once was a ballpark figure of 200 Mails to
get the bogofilter working in adequate way ?

The message ID is different.

They are not only different but the e-mails come from a different address.
I conclude my e-mail address has gotten on a junk mail sending site. And I 
don't what to do about that.
I tried the restoring the evolutiion procedure below. I am still getting junk 
mail..

[Evolution] Update on my spam problem

2012-08-23 Thread Aaron Konstam
Every spam message has the same initial display which includes the same
unsubscribe option. When clicked you go to a web page that offers you a
chance to unsubscribe. You get s message that the unsubscription
process can take up to 3 days.

It is clear tat all this swpam cmes from one source. Unsubscribing is
probably useless since the spam generators no doubt more clients. We
will see.
