Re: [Evolution] infinitive wait for network events
I appreciate your response. However the purpose of this list is to make evolution mail client behave property, utilizing any form of bug reports available. Err, no. The purpose of *this* list is to help people with Evolution - the people who do help (like POC and many others) do so in their spare time and, to be honest, anything that puts a barrier in the way doesn't really encourage us to do anything. I suppose the image delivery method should not stop any knowledgeable programmer from opening it. Granted, it would take more then one click to see the image I'm a sysadmin and programmer, and know how to decode encoded things, but its not something I need to do very often. Hence in order to deal with your image I need to install the tools necessary, cut and paste the data into a file, run that file through the decoder, open an image viewer, find and click on the image, then I might know what you are talking about. Yes, it would take more than one click. but inline encoding guarantees that the image is present in archives So would having it as an attached image. forever and isn't at mercy of third party image hosting service. Sometimes we get people who don't know how (or don't think it's important) to reduce the size of an image and the mailing list software rejects the message as too big - then putting on a third party site is the only alternative (and PasteBin isn't an image hosting service).

Re: [Evolution] infinitive wait for network events
For many releases, including the latest in Fedora 18 Please give version numbers for Evolution, not the distro you use - not everyone uses the same distro so they don't know which versions you are talking about. I've noticing that evolution does not handle network delays properly. It will spin in wait state indefinitely. Please see included screenshot. I wonder how to diagnose and prevent infinitive waits. The only way to end the process is to to brute force kill signals. This has been talked about before on this list. Yes, it is a known issue, but I seem to remember that the solution requires some other work to be done first. My experience of the issue is that many of the problems stem from looking up contacts on a remote service (so that Evo can decide if it's going to try and display images from the network) - it's not the LDAP code itself that's the problem, more the type of traffic that LDAP generates. So try enabling Never load images from the Internet (you can always explicitly load them with Ctrl-I) to see if it makes it any better.

What makes you think that all, or even most, of the members of this list are programmers? If you want to reach Evo developers, this is not the best way to do it. The Evolution Hackers list may be better. And if you are asking for help, making people jump through hoops before they can even understand the question is a losing proposition. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

This is obviously a new undocumented feature, as it didn't act this way in previous versions. I am hesitant to upgrade the version number as it is not available in the openSuse repositories and I don't want to create any problems. This is not the end of the world, but I'm wondering if it is possible to manually modify the file where current settings are stored, and put in the sizes I wish? Would it stick then? A similar issue was discussed on the list in the last few weeks. Check the list archives. poc Does KDE have something like Gnome's Preferences-Sessions-Save the Current Session button? If so, set the evolution window(s) the way you like and try clicking this and then logging out and in again. It worked for me (on an older version on Gnome).

[Evolution] Mail to a list fails on RoadRunner SMTP
Dear colleagues, We use evolution 2.28.3 on CentOS 6.4 (64-bit). We recently switched our ISP from Verizon DSL to Time-Warner cable, with their RoadRunner email service. We receive mail at our own dot-com, hosted by Earthlink--no problem there, but they require us to send outgoing emails via the ISP's SMTP service. My wife has a short mailing list of 12 names to which she tried to send a typical email with a small attachment (120KB), which always worked fine with Verizon's SMTP. The same email sent via RoadRunner SMTP disappears with no trace -- no error message, no return-to-sender. It appears in the evolution Sent folder with apparently correct address formatting. When sent as separate emails to the individual addresses, they all receive it. RoadRunner tech support says they don't support evolution--surprise. They also said there are no restrictions on outgoing SMTP, but I am guessing there is a restriction on the number of addresses on a list. Has anybody seen this and diagnosed it? Any suggestions how to work around it? For example, is there a way I can script the sending to the individual recipients?

[Evolution] how to start over
I installed and started evolution. After messing up my first e-mail account, I tried to fix it, but couldn't find any way to change it. I tried to start over with rm -r ~/.evolution , but that did not work either. Somewhere it found the information to recreate ~/.evolution . I've got an evolution folder/identity/whatever with the right name that doesn't work. It's inert. How do I start over? I'm trying to connect to a cableone.net account. I've used evolution before, but it was a long drawn out struggle. All I really remember is the blood. -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword. -- Lily ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
