How can I cause evolution to give up on displaying a message? This is a new problem. I've been using evolution 2.32.3 for years because my sys-admin retired and a new one hasn't taken over. Is there a chance there's something in a configuration file that's causing the problem? Which one? Where is it? The problem appears to occur when the message wants to load stuff using http or https. Sometimes it displays the content, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, independently of whether it's displayed the content or not, that message is locked in the message text pane. There's a message "Retrieving http://so-and-so (0% complete)" in the bottom margin. Killing that using the little red "X" buttonb doesn't unlock the message text pane. I can still read messages by double clicking in the message preview line, which opens a separate window. I can still change the message preview to different accounts, or to different folders (such as "Bulk Mail"). I can still switch to other work, such as editing contacts. So the program isn't locked up. Just the message text pane. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, just to clarify, the 3.36.2 works properly for you, the messages from one account are forwarded using that account and message from the other account are forwarded using the other account, right? I finally have got to this and tested it here and it seems to work properly for manually invoked filter rule, which simply forwards the selected message.
