[Evolution] Sent Folder
I am using Evolution 2.30.3, Ubuntu 10.10. I just noticed that my Sent folder only has about 2 dozen messages instead of the several hundred it usually contains. When I check Preferences/Edit/Defaults, it shows the Sent Messages Folder is Sent and I don't believe this has changed. Any suggestions as to what I might have done to lose my records and whether it is possible to find them? Thanks.

[Evolution] Date Format
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and Evolution 2.30.3 and rely heavily on the calendar reminders. I have just realized that, although I have (under Edit | Preferences |Calendar and Tasks | Display) the format set to M/D/Y, reminders are showing up as though they were entered as D/M/Y. For instance, a birthday reminder for September 12, 2010 just popped up a couple of days ago as a reminder for 12/9/2010. I have also noticed that, although I have set the time format (under Edit | Preferences | Calendar and Tasks | General) to 12 hour (AM/PM), when I enter an appointment, it immediately changes the time to 24 hour format. Is there another setting somewhere that should be changed? Thank you.

I have been following this discussion hoping to learn something about threading (I have--thank you!). When I try using Ctrl-T in one folder to set up threading, I find that it has also changed all the other folders. Can't seem to find a way to change just one folder.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution documentation update
Hi Bharath, Sorry for the delay in replying. Is there anyone in the Evolution community who would be interested in helping out with some of our plans? Unfortunately, one of our contributors won't be able to continue working on the Evolution docs, so we could use some extra help. Here's a brief list of what we're doing/planning: * Converting FAQ topics to Mallard * Reviewing the existing Evolution docs and converting appropriate topics to Mallard * Organising a UI/string review Thanks, Phil I don't have the necessary knowledge either of Evolution or Mallard, but I am a good proof reader. If that would be of any help, please let me know.

[Evolution] Recurring Problem with Sent Mail Folder
I am using Evolution 2.28.1 and Ubuntu 9.4. Some weeks ago, my sent folder became corrupted. Thanks to some help from this list, I was able to delete the folder and have it start accumulating outgoing mail again. However, yesterday I noticed that it had happened again. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I now know how to fix it, but still lose some history of what I've done, and I'd like to avoid that if possible. Thanks.

Re: [Evolution] Export data from Evolution 2.28.1 to a standard spreadsheet forma
On Sat, 2010-02-06 at 19:27 +0100, Landa wrote: Does anyone know how you can export contacts from evolution to a spreadsheet format? The VCF format is un-useable as it keeps all of the VCF Trash and does not allow proper formating to eliminate the trash Surely that's the point of Vcard/VCF format - if it didn't have the VCF trash it wouldn't be a VCF format!! I see no EXPORT function in my Evolution 2.28.1 menus Probably your best bet is to use a VCF/Vcard to CSV converter - I've never used one, but there seem to be plenty around on doing a google search. This is linked to the fact that if you set up a display by list of the contacts, you can see them on screen correctly but cannot print them as you see them ... nor can you change the printer views but this could be linked to the printer drivers... I originally had a windows printer ... In that case you probably want a Vcard printing application. P. I have a similar problem with exporting data from Evolution and the vCard sounds like a good solution. Where can I find information on how to use it? Thank you.

Re: [Evolution] Printing templates
I believe this one is a bug in the system. I've been working with it for months and have not been able to get it to do anything other than letter size. Have reported it as a problem. My extremely inelegant work-around is to create a Writer template and print out 3 months calendar pages at a time and write in appointments as they come up. If you come up with an easier one, I'd love to hear about it as this is a major annoyance for me. Barbara On Sun, 2009-10-04 at 01:37 -0400, Matthew Berglund wrote: Greeting list!

[Evolution] Incoming Mail Bouncing with 550 error message
I do not believe this is really a problem with either Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) or Evolution (2.26.1), but thought I would check to see if anyone else has encountered it. I've been complaining about this to my ISP for several months with no results. A small percentage of incoming messages to me bounce with the error message 550 - Too many non-mail commands. I don't know what the percentage is as there are probably bouncing messages that I never hear about, but I am guessing around 2 to 4 percent. Thanks.
