[Evolution] How to get Evolution to stop marking messages as read?
In Evolution 3.38.3-1 how does one turn off marking read messages as read? I'd like to read any message with Evolution without marking any message as read. I tried turning off the "Mail Preferences" -> "Mark messages as read after 0.0 seconds" preference but that didn't stop Evolution from marking a message I selected as read. Sometimes the message that came up as a result of switching folders would get marked as read, sometimes a message I picked explicitly was marked as read. I'm looking for a means to turn off all mark-message-as-read behavior.

Thanks for the tip. I tried this but it didn't seem to work (see attached images from Evolution and Thunderbird). Evolution is still showing the indented folders indicating that folders are child folders of Inbox. There's also still a collapser gadget next to Inbox; if the other folders were a sibling of Inbox that collapser gadget should go away (I'd expect). Perhaps there are some other settings I need to adjust as well such as the following? IgnoreOtherUsersNamespace=false IgnoreSharedFoldersNamespace=false Here's what I tried: 1. Perhaps Namespace is case-sensitive? No, changing to "Inbox." (not including the quotes) made Evolution not find any of the folders. 2. Perhaps Namespace needs to be quoted? No, changing to "INBOX." (including the quotes) made Evolution not find any of the folders. 3. Changed the following: IgnoreOtherUsersNamespace=false IgnoreSharedFoldersNamespace=false to other values (I tried 4 combinations of values -- both true, one true/one false, both false). I only picked those settings because they had the word "Namespace" in them suggesting to me that they might be relevant. Nothing I tried delivered the effect I was hoping for. ___ 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] Evolution equivalent of Thunderbird's folder offset?
On my email server all account folders are subfolders of the Inbox folder (or at least all folders appear to be Inbox subfolders when connecting to the account via IMAP which is the only connection protocol I use). Thunderbird lets me specify an IMAP server folder (Account Settings -> Server Settings (under the account name) -> Advanced... then put in "INBOX." in the IMAP Server Directory field. A dot is a folder separator character, a top-level folder named "foo" would be "INBOX.foo" for example. This produces a folder list hierarchy where top-level folders appear to be at the top of the folder tree even if they're actually subfolders of Inbox. This folder list makes the folder list a little less deeply nested and easier to see and work with because it means what I'm seeing is more like how I conceive the folder hierarchy. I don't find such a thing in Evolution 3.38.1-2 on Debian GNU/Linux using Debian's Evolution package. Is there this function in Evolution? If not, are there plans for such a feature?

Re: [Evolution] Yahoo IMAP stopped working ... again
You wrote: You recommendation to use it in combination with gmail is asking for trouble. Which is what I explicitly did not recommend. Please read more closely and stop repeating your virtue signaling over paying for services. It's perfectly reasonable to pay for services and the original poster has not identified a budget. Mentioning that not everyone can pay 5 or 10 euros a year for service addresses no questions or claims. A solution could be to get rid of Yahoo by using your own domain and your own servers without a provider similar to Yahoo involved. IMO gmail is a provider similar to Yahoo. So Gmail is denounced as "asking for trouble" but Gmail which is "a provider similar to Yahoo" (no doubt similar in terms of spying like Google as well as other similarities) is not beyond the pale. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Users who don't have the money to pay for this, but who own a mobile phone could chose between endless much providers when willing to give away there mobile number. That's a glib and innumerate response; you should show more respect for decent conversation than to say that. namecheap.com is selling .co.uk subdomains for $6.88 to register and $9.58/yr for renewal. Last time I looked .info subdomains were quite inexpensive as well. Depending on one's privacy concerns, there are gratis email hosters that will let one host their own domain with them in exchange for spying on everything they send/receive (I don't recommend them but they exist). Such prices are not reasonably responded to with "a good solution for rich people" and don't require you to sign up for being constantly geolocated via a tracker/mobile. Other options include gandi.net which offers email hosting and domain registration at low prices. ___ 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] Recommendation to get off of Yahoo, AT, etc. email
You wrote: Any ideas? I recommend getting your own domain name with a hoster that can host your email so that you're not relying on some forwarding convenience that can go away, and so that you can move your email service as needed without ever having to tell others what your new email address is (because it won't change). Dreamhost.com has good services, hosts email accessible via IMAP/SMTP over an encrypted connection, and is also a domain registrar. I don't work for them but I've used their services (including using Dreamhost-hosted email accounts via IMAP/SMTP using Evolution). ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Localization of IMAP folders
Ángel wrote: It's actually up to the server to allow you to do that or not. Perhaps I'm missing some larger point, but wouldn't it be reasonable for IMAP clients to treat the server-defined folder names as unique IDs where the client UI is free to localize the presentation as needed for users? For example, forget that "Inbox" is an English word. Instead, treat that string as a unique identifier where mail goes by default (absent any rules/filters). Therefore German user interfaces should be free to display an account's inbox labeled with the German word for "Inbox" (I'm sorry I don't know what that is), no? And couldn't the same apply for all of the other server-defined folders too? ___ 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] Let us set outgoing email headers via filters or use the address book lookups for Reply-To: as we do with To/Cc/Bcc:?
I'm using Evolution 3.36.4-2 on Debian GNU/Linux. I'd like Evolution to make it easier to let me set a Reply-To: header for certain mailing lists I subscribe to which will keep my Reply-To: header setting if set. I didn't see a straightforward way to do this via the outgoing filters, so I thought I'd add in the Reply-To: header value manually for now. When I type a few characters into the Reply-To: header Evolution doesn't help fill in the rest of the name and address akin to how the To, Cc, and Bcc: headers work using address book lookups. Is there a way to change this either to let me set headers on outgoing emails as a rule or, failing that, to let me use address book lookups and help me fill in the Reply-To: header based on those address book lookups?

[Evolution] Adding to spellcheck dictionary from Evolution?
I'm running Evolution 3.36.4-2 on Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid 64-bit. When I'm editing an email the spell checker spots unknown words and underlines them in red. If I right-click on one of those words I can correct it from any of the dictionaries I've configured Evolution to use, or I can make Evolution ignore the word. I don't see where Evolution lets me add the word to a dictionary by right-clicking the word. It seems that I have to go through the more cumbersome UI of Edit→"Check Spelling" (which renders the edit window uneditable). Is there a way to let me add a new word to a desired dictionary by right-clicking the word?

It would be weird to have archived message from 2015 in folder 2020, only because the Archive function was initiated in year 2020. Yes; you're quite right on both counts. In fact, Thunderbird (version 68.12.0 (64-bit) at least where I just tested this) does the latter. Here's how I tested that: I pressed "a" (Archive shortcut key) on a message sent in the year 2009 (per its Date header) from the 2009 archive folder and that message stayed in the 2009 archive folder. I moved that message to my 2020 archive folder, went to the 2020 archive folder, and pressed "a" on it again. The message moved back to the 2009 folder. ___ 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] How to archive to year-named subfolder of archive folder?
I'm running Evolution version 3.36.4-2 on Debian GNU/Linux 64-bit bullseye with some sid packages installed. My account's Archives folder has subfolders named after a year (Archives/2019, Archives/2020, etc.) On Thunderbird, one can archive a message to the year-named subfolder which matches the current year. So far I've got the archive folder pointing to the 2020 subfolder just to get the archiver to deposit the email in the correct place. It would be mildly more convenient to work like Thunderbird does in this respect. Can this be set up in this way on Evolution? If so, how does one set this up in Evolution to behave like Thunderbird?
