Yes, please see http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml. This is
probably what you need. 

It also might be a good idea to add it to the FAQ, if it is not there...

Thanks!

I had one prototype off Paul's Makefile, and was still working on it,
but yours is certainly more complete.

Hi,

Although you do not really explain what is it Seahorse want you do to, I
will assume it is asking you to provide the passphrase to open the
keyring.

This means you have changed your login passphrase, and it no longer
matches Seahorse's login keyring passphrase.

All you need to do is run Seahorse (Applications/Accessories/Password
and Encryption Keys), select the Passwords tab, right-click on the Login
keyring, select "change passsword", and make it identical to your login
password.

Evolution, since a few releases, will always use Seahorse if it is
available. This is not an option.

Cheers,

I dispute the obvious part. It is *obvious* to those that know what to
look for, *not* to the casual user. And, before you raise the issue, I
am *NOT* a casual user.

But it is not, by a long shot, obvious "once one thinks to look". Apart
from the prejudice (from the latin, pre judice, "to judge in advance
[before knowing the facts]"), your statement is overly aggressive,
implying the original poster does (or did) not think, or want(ed) to.

Please be more courteous. Everybody will enjoy more your knowledge this
way. Also, please keep in mind those that know more are here to direct,
instruct, and pass knowledge, to those that know less. In a nice way.

And I think the original poster does have a point.

I do remember a setting on Gmail that would state something like "send

You may want to login to web gamil, and look at the settings. It's there

Please run Evo from a terminal as follows:

env CAMEL_DEBUG=all evolution >& evo.log

Then try to send an email; it should fail. Quit Evo, so that the log
will not get larger, and now look at the log. The error should be there.

[Evolution] Gnome bug 595389 -- call for a test

2009-10-22 Thread C de-Avillez
All,

I was looking at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595389
(which I myself filed, about a month ago).

I would like those of you that are running Evolution 2.28, either distro
or GIT, to run a simple test: stop Evolution, and then re-start it from
a terminal after setting up an environment variable:

export CAMEL_SQLITE_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE=2000
evolution

and then *guesstimate* it the startup was faster or slower than the
normal startup. By "startup" I mean the time it takes for all tables to
be read and scanned (look at the bottom of the Evo pane, where messages
are usually displayed).

Then try to jump around folders, and again *guesstimate* if the jump is
faster or slower, again looking at the bottom of the Evo pane.

Of course, this is a very gross test. Not only is it being, er, measured
visually, but there are many other details that affect the results:

- if you are running IMAP, or e-e
- if you have a lot of emails stored,
- some of your Evolution options,
- etc.

But, in my case -- local IMAP server storing pretty much all of my
email, with 5 different email accounts, about 50,000 emails stored --
the difference between the runs is *very* clear.

Please reply either directly to me, or to the list. But please, do test.

Thank you, and cheers,

..C..

2.29.x are milestone development versions. They are provided primarily
to developers (or advanced users) for tests. A specific Linux
distribution may package it if it wants to, but there are no
expectations of correct behaviour.

For Ubuntu, we will eventually package it (or next milestone) for Lucid
(10.04). We will not make it available for 9.10, though. Anyway, when
Lucid it released, it will have the 2.30 (stable release) Evolution,
*not* a 2.29.*.

In summary: 2.29.2 is a *source* distribution of Evolution, not a
compiled package. It is expected the downloader will build it.

As Ng Oon-Ee points out, building Evo is not a simple task, anyway.

Even if going rather OT by now: 

1. Your distrust of having personal stuff on someone else's computer,
although correct (I am also paranoid), does not change the fact that
simply by using public ISPs (either as the source, sink, or forwarder)
has already made your personal stuff be accessible by anyone in the
middle. As such, trust/distrust in third parties does not affect a
decision between either POP or IMAP.

2. If you only use one machine, and will keep on using the same one
machine until hell freezes over, or you die, or you cease to use email
(any condition satisfies) then certainly POP is more than enough. If
not, you may want to consider IMAP.

3. POP allows for offline access of emails (already received, of
course), IMAP does not (but most clients will offer the option for
local storage of email).

As simple as that ;-)

Cheers.

Yes, it is, and stands for "Personal Package Archive". Of course, this
will be only of use for Ubuntu (and Ubuntu-derived) distros.

Other distros will probably have something similar, and it would be nice
to have them described here.
