Although the definition describes it as a universal message *locator*, it's really more like a URI than a URL. To make it work as a link there would need to be a standard way to follow it to the message itself, which would ideally work on IMAP, POP, Exchange etc., but that doesn't exist at present. > Evolution currently doesn't support this, but I guess it would be > possible to add it if someone is motivated enough… > > Soem thoughts: > * I'm not sure if Evolution keeps an index of Message-IDs; if not it >could take a rather long time to find the right message in a large >mailbox (or multiple large ones). > * Maybe some IMAP servers index & allow searching for it? Again, this (if it even exists) would be mailstore-specific, not a universal solution. Within these limitations it could possibly be used for what the OP wants. However I think the limitations are such as to make it probably not worth investing a lot of time on.

There is no universal way to do this. I suppose the “universal” way to link to messages is using a mid: URL that refers to the Message-ID in a message's header. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2392 Evolution currently doesn't support this, but I guess it would be possible to add it if someone is motivated enough… Soem thoughts: * I'm not sure if Evolution keeps an index of Message-IDs; if not it could take a rather long time to find the right message in a large mailbox (or multiple large ones). * Maybe some IMAP servers index & allow searching for it? -- Jan Claeys ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

One idea I had was to copy the Message-ID and have a way to open Evolution sp that it does directly search for the Message-ID. Ideally I should be able to automate this a bit and don't have to search the mail header for the Message-ID manually, etc. I saw similar scripts for Mutt with ToDo.txt and Gnus with Emacs org- mode, if I remember correctly. In my setup, all mails are stored locally in a Maildir, synced with mbsync.

Off the top of my head, I think this would be pretty hard to do. You would have to accommodate all the different storage locations a message could be in, both local and remote, and take account of it possibly being moved around. There is no universal way to do this. There could conceivably be an Evo-specific way, using Evo's on-disc cache, but a) as it's a cache it can easily disappear or be reorganised, and b) the link would only work on a single machine (and then only within the same user account on the machine). 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
[Evolution] Create link to a specific mail in Evolution
Hi all, it happens regularly that I want to refer to a email in my notes, a text document, etc. Is there a way to generate a "link" to a mail in Evolution which I could copy over to my notes, which again opens Evolution and jumps directly to the mail on click? If this doesn't exists out of the box, I would be also happy for suggestions how I might be able to solve this with some scripting involved. Thanks a lot!
