[Evolution] NFS folder on network attached storage
Evolution 3.10.4 Ubuntu 14.04 Hello, and many thanks for an excellent open source PIM. I have been using it for a number of years and find it most convenient. I have 2 PCs both running Ubuntu, and both connected to my lan, which also includes a Qnap NAS. I just make a symlink from ~/.local/share/evolution to an NFS folder on my NAS as in: ln -s /home/john/nas/mydocs/Personal/evolution evolution I then set up the email accounts on each PC and all seems to work fine. I seldom open evolution on both computers at the same time. I also use syncevolution-server to sync to my android devices. Should i be linking the evolution folders in .cache and in .config to an NFS folder also? I attempted to do that just now, and Evolution opened in first run mode and asked me to set up an account. When i restored the original evolution folders in .cache and .config, after a restart all is okay again.

Re: [Evolution] NFS folder on network attached storage
Thanks Patrick, Sorry, you are quite correct in that i use POP mainly. Well, i will continue the way i have had it for the last few years, and just symlink the .local/share/evolution folder, as it seems to work with few problems over the NFS, and allows me to keep the accounts, calendar etc in sync between the pcs. Its not mission critical stuff, and if it all goes horribly wrong i have made occasional backups! Is there any info as to what the different folders are for? Documentation only seems to show their location.

@adam Woah there, snide comments about members being pathologic, is hardly going to help anyone. I came to this list looking for advice, which i received and if you noticed my most recent reply to Pete's post a number of hours ago, i took on board. Being kicked by a self opinionated prig is not what i came here for. I continually promote open source software, especially for it's stability and it's (usually) helpful and friendly community. If something goes wrong i won't be running to you for advice, so calm down, and have another coffee. Looking through your recent posts i see a thread of aggressive behaviour. You should probably find a more suitable outlet for it. No need to rant because others don't have your knowledge or ability.

[Evolution] evolution 3.20.5 fails again with lockup on opening "Generating message list"
This is second time this failure has occurred in two weeks. Following instructions I received from this list two weeks ago, I did the quick test, go to ~/.config/evolution and as a starter rename the 'mail' subfolder to something else, like 'mail.old', and then start the evolution. This did not work then and it did not work with this afternoon's failure. What worked two weeks ago was to rename ~/.local/share/evolution/mail to ~/.local/share/evolution/mail.old. Evolution started up correctly, but I had lost all my existing e-mail. I completed recovery of that lost e-mail, by copying each folder under mail.old to mail. Everything was fine until this afternoon, when a new version of Ubuntu base was installed. When I rebooted to complete that upgrade, evolution failed. Version of evolution is 3.20.5. There is no debug package for 3.20.5 . Please note that up until two weeks ago, 3.20.5 had worked perfectly, indeed best version of evolution to date. In case anyone is interested, OS is Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. What are next steps?

[Evolution] Unable to Send/Receive as User, Can as Root
Last weekend, with my Fedora Core 5 Linux computer running Evolution 2.6.3, I was unable to Send/Receive. That button was gray, all other functions such as reply, new, etc worked. I do have the same account set up as root and that works. I did delete the account as user and re-enter information, same as on the root account. I did check permissions of .evolution and subdirectories in user and root and they are either 755 or 777. I've been using this user account for about a year with no problems. The only thing I see possibly is the mail set up with POP to receive and SMTP to send, and authentication is via password and when the user account was deleted and then re-entered, upon signing on to the ISP, it did not ask for a password.

[Evolution] Recreating lost folder
Hello, I'm using Evolution 2.8.3. When I upgraded my PC from FC5to FC6, I moved all my .evolution directory, the .gconfd stuff and so on. It seemed to work fine; I could see my folders, mail and so on. This was some time ago, and I have only just noticed that a folder is missing when I invoke evolution. It (the folder) does exist in my .evolution directory, it contains 'HEADER' files, and has a 'cmeta' and a 'summary' file. However, it does not appear when I invoke evolution. Does anyone know of a way of making the folder appear? I do not want to lose the mail. The only thing that I can see that may be causing a problem is that there is no 'summary-meta' file which exists in the other folders. I have no idea about evolution internals, so I don't know what these files are for.

I'm seeing what appears to be evolution generating many, many back-to-back DNS queries (netstat -t | grep domain | wc -l returns ~9600 connections in TIME_WAIT).

So after this thread caught my eye (having suffered from mbox corruption one time too many), I decided to convert all of my 'local mail' to maildir format folders. So I did the following: - Added a new account with 'Maildir-format mail directories' - Pointed it at an empty top-level directory. - Did right-click 'Copy..' on the top-level folders under 'On This Computer' and selected the new account as the target. - Deleted the copied folder once I was happy with the result. Now I have everything in maildir format and things like folder updates and searches are peppy again. This took a little bit for the 2+ G of mail I've managed to accumulate, but worked pretty much flawlessly. I tried a couple of the script solutions, but they had about a 90% success rate and I wasn't going to convert all 100+ folders thru mutt (which seemed to be the only other completely robust solution available).

I assume there's no reason not to create it under .evolution, but I don't think I'd recommend it. I should probably be clear - I did not convert Evolution's "local storage" to maildir - I still have mbox files under .evolution/mail/local that evolution uses as an Outbox for example. I created an entirely new folder tree as what Evolution thinks of as a separate account (with an outgoing mail server and everything). I suspect that evolution will do nothing to 'manage' the new folder and it would have to be treated as an entirely separate entity for backup or migration purposes.

[Evolution] evolution issues: slow and frequent crashing
Greetings, I'm experiencing frequent issues with Evolution 2.24.3. I'm running on Ubuntu 8.10. and using IMAP to read mail on a Lotus Notes server. The main problem is it's extremely slow when doing functions such as "Generating message list", "Fetching summary information", "Storing folder" etc... The other problem is when selecting a group of messages and trying to move them to another folder will peg the cpu, forcing me to reboot. This problem seems to have started in the last couple of evolution updates. I've searched the archives but didn't find anything helpful. I'd appreciate any pointers anyone can provide. Thanks, John ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Are you on the same LAN as the server? Very slow for me, too (albeit, exchange) when accessing remotely from my laptop -- especially if it has been a while since I checked in with that computer. Very fast with the desktop on the LAN. I'm on the same LAN. I'm running evolution on my desktop and T-bird on my laptop. No problems w/ the latter goirng through the same network paths. As I said, it seems to be some recent change that's triggered this behavior.

I've always had problems opening very large IMAP folders (one on Gmail, one not). In some previous Evos the entire UI would just freeze. In this version the folders can take forever to "scan for new messages" (typically just sitting at 0%), so much so that Evo often starts a *second* scan, presumably because the server poll interval has run out. Note that killing Evo and restarting immediately solves the problem, which rather begs the question of why Evo can't just do whatever it does without user intervention. This is exactly what I'm seeing. IMAP database size is 6.5 GB. Takes forever to "scan for new messages", "fetching summary information" etc... Switching folders takes 20 seconds or longer. Pretty hard to use it with this level of performance. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I looked in the FAQ, but I didn't see the answer there... is there any way to import my KMail configuration into Evolution? I see where I can import individual mailbox files, but I'd like to import my KMail configs, including filters, etc as I have a LOT of filters to move mail into folders, etc. Also, if possible, I'd like to do a "bulk" import of all my folders so I don't have to recreate them one at a time when I'm importing messages into Evolution. I'm looking at switching to Evolution as I had some issues this morning with KMail acting up, and Evolution was working.

Originally mail.XXX.com worked for years before Verizon made the changes Monday. My email server is at my old ISP that we have used for years.

[Evolution] Default From address stopped working
I recently upgraded from OpenSUSE 11.1 to OpenSUSE 11.2 with the accompanying upgrade to Evolution 2.28.0. I (like a lot of people) have several email addresses. All of them are set to forward to one central (GMail) account so that all mail comes into once place. When I reply, I want my name, email and signature to match whatever address the mail was sent to. In previous versions of Evolution, if you replied to an email where the "TO" address matches one of your mail accounts, then the reply "FROM" automatically was set to that address. In the current version of Evolution, the reply "from" address is always set to whichever mail account received the email regardless of the "to" address. Is there a setting that controls that behaviour? I'm probably not using the right search terms so my google turns up a lot of auto-responder stuff but nothing on that topic. -- John Lange http://www.johnlange.ca ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Re: [Evolution] Default From address stopped working
Unfortunately, due to the invalid SSL certificate (can gnome really not afford a valid cert?), my current location blocks the gnome bugzilla so I can't read that but report. But, suffice to say this change doesn't make much sense. I'm trying to think of a situation where, by default you would want to reply from a different address than the mail as went to but I can't. I suppose as an option, there could be a "always send messages from the default account" check box. That would probably be a useful option for some people. Even gmail always replies from the address that the mail was sent to (though you have to set it up). Anyhow, when I get to a computer where I can read bugzilla I'll chime in on this one and hopefully it gets fixed.

That's exactly what I just said. If the mail is forwarded by the mail system, then the original "TO" address will be the institutional address and the reply should come from that address, not the mailbox it ultimately ended up in. This of course depends on how the mail was forwarded but generally speaking, if it was done by a rule or the MTA (Exchange, postfix etc.), it will preserve the original "TO" line and the reply's "FROM" should match that. It can be a bit confusing but I think we agree and it's what Evolution is no longer doing. -- John Lange www.johnlange.ca ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[...] I now understand why this change was made. My only comment would be that I don't think it's normal to have the exact same email addresses on multiple accounts. There would normally be one authoritative place for mail to sit. So in your case if your using the same email address for local and imap perhaps fetchmail should be grabbing the mail from imap and delivering it to local but on the other hand I don't see why the user shouldn't be able to do things this way if they want. That being said, your other example, where the same mail is delivered to two different email addresses (both configured in Evolution) is probably a much more typical example. > So, to try to understand your situation, I'm guessing that you have > accounts something like this: > 1) "IMAP - m...@gmail.com" (i.e. remote IMAP, everything gets forwarded to > this) > 2) "IMAP - m...@work.com" (i.e. remote IMAP for the work email address) > 3) "IMAP - m...@home.org" (i.e. remote IMAP for the personal email address) Correct. > ... and then you're replying to a mail that's in the "IMAP - > m...@gmail.com" account, sent to "m...@home.org", and wanting the reply to > be sent using the "IMAP - m...@home.org" account, rather than from the > "m...@gmail.com" account.

This one needs more discussion. Evolution has an option for "Default" account. My first intuition is that this account would be used as the default account for composing and sending email if nothing else matches. So something like: 3) If neither of the above is the case, the use the default account. I admit it is debatable whether it should use the selected account or the default account but if you don't use the default account for this purpose then for what? If you consider my scenario, I have several active accounts that never get mail delivered to their inboxes (they are just there for setting the correct "FROM" address and signature). So my selected account is always the same (the gmail account). However, I _never_ use the gmail account as the "FROM" address. It's always one of the other configured accounts, one of which I have selected as the default. My preference is that this is the one that should be used if neither of #1 or #2 matches. And one final clarification, the concept of the "FROM" address is separate from the actual sending/delivery of the mail. It is common to have several "Mail Accounts" setup that have the "Sending Email" part of their configuration empty (this supports composing or replying to mail under scenario #2 above as I described). So in all situations, if the selected account has no "sending" method configured, use the default account for sending/delivery. I'm sure you well understand that but I just wanted to mention it so it didn't get forgotten. BTW, are you going to reopen 524497 or create a new one or ?

Re: [Evolution] Cannot empty trash
Well, I do not wish the developers to take offence, but when one refers to the FAQ and the bug report mentioned therein, it goes back to 2001! Hence my shock-horror and the 'what if this was in the commercial world' scenario. How long is long enough? In the meantime I have taken to starting evolution from the following script: #!/bin/bash export LANG=C #shutdown if running evolution --force-shutdown for each in index data cmeta; do find ~/.evolution/mail/local -type f -iname "*.$each" | xargs rm done rm ~/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db evolution --component=mail It takes a couple of seconds longer for evolution to start, but I don't mind: it solves the problem. Though I hesitate to suggest it, since the real fix is apparently so difficult to achieve, perhaps the workaround could be built in to the app, as a 'Delete index files on exit' item in Preferences. At least then users who aren't comfortable at the command line would not have to suffer bloating Trash folders.

I personally believe software should strive to be both friendly for unsophisticated users while making power users happy as well. So, on that note, if you look at the format options of something like OpenOffice Calc, it gives you exactly what you describe above. That is, a long list of predefined popular options, plus the ability to tweak to exactly what you want. > > Are there really that many more variations of date > > formats in use out there? In every programming language I've used, plus things like OpenOffice mentioned above, the number of formatting options for dates and times is mind numbing. So, I would have to think that "yes", there are many-many variations. Given that opensource software strives to be international friendly, flexibility is important. If you look at "man date", you will see the supported formats for dates which seems to be pretty widely supported in other languages such as PHP, Perl, etc. Evolution should use the same formaters which are more than likely part of some standard C library. As a side note, it also includes "%x" which falls back to the localized date format, probably a wise default for Evolution. -- John Lange http://www.johnlange.ca ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Sorry, this is a bit of a troll but... If you were using OpenSUSE, you could just search the build service and then "one-click install" the latest version which would automatically add the repository and install the package. http://software.opensuse.org/search The point being, if you really need to use packages before they are pushed into the official distribution, OpenSUSE has very easy mechanism for that (one-click).

[Evolution] Blanks In The System Tray
Using Evolution v 2.26.3 under KDE/Mandriva 2009.1. I have a large number of anniversaries with pop-up reminders. Works fine. Except ... after each reminder has been dismissed, a blank space is left in the systems tray between today's date and the network status symbol. Each reminder adds a further space there until the systems tray reduces the amount available for other apps running to a very small amount. The spaces left by these obsolete reminders can be identified by hovering the cursor over them. They can be removed by re-booting the desktop, but I don't want to do this if I can avoid it.

[Evolution] shutdown doesn't shutdown, evolution-exchange-storage quit after suspend.
I love evolution, but when I exit evolution 2.4.1 or when it crashes,
there are always left over processes. In order to restart evolution,
and have it work, I jump through lots of hoops, but these steps don't
work all the time. I run:
evolution --force-shutdown
bonobo-slay
gconftool-2 --shutdown
/usr/bin/oaf-slay
killl -9 `ps -elf |grep evolution |awk '{print $4}'`
These steps don't work when I suspend the laptop at work, take it home,
start the vpn, and then start evolution. I always get this error:
The Application "evolution-exchange-storage" has quit unexpectedly.
Once in a while "evolution-exchange-storage" won't quit, but it will
repeatedly ask for my password, and never let me log in.
In order to get past these errors, the only solution I've found is to
log-out and log-in again. I would kill for a more elegant solution.
I'm using gentoo packages:
evolution 2.4.1
evolution-webcal 2.4.1
evolution-exchange 2.4.1
evolution-data-server 1.4.1.1

Is there a config file that I can edit that will clear the search tool without having to start Evolution? I'm running into a problem with a known bug, where Evo crashes during an alphanumeric search in an IMAP mailbox. The problem is, when I restart Evo, it crashes again before I have a chance to clear the search tool. I'm running Evolution 2.0.4 on FC3.

[Evolution] Can't synchronise Calendar or Tasks with Palm IIIxe
Hi, I'm using Evolution 2.4 and am trying to sync it with my Palm IIIxe using gnome-pilot (version 2.0.12). I'm using a serial cradle, and running PalmOS 3.5.2. I've managed to get the Palm set up in the Gnome Pilot configuration, and have set up the relevant conduits to "Synchronize". The Contacts folder has synchronised correctly. However, Tasks and Calendars have not synced. The HotSync log on my pal doesn't reveal any problems - just lists all the folders that have been synced (EAddress, ECalendar, EToDo etc). Any suggestions gratefully received! Many thanks, John ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] IO goes crazy
After starting evolution and running the filters or searching in a folder, evolution will cause "Blocks received from a block device" (bi column in vmstat) to max out and it will stay high until I kill evolution. Filters are only set to act on the INBOX and it only seems to happen when I access the Exchange server using the IMAP protocol. Is this a known issue? Are there any fixes?

[Evolution] Evo 2.6 - adding a 'move' icon
Hello, I have just installed Fedora Core 5, which includes Evolution 2.6.0. One of the things I have noticed (from FC4, not sure what the version of Evolution was) is that there is no 'Move' (or 'Copy') icon in the toolbar. There used to be as I regularly used it. I can see the 'Move to folder' option under the 'Message' drop-down menu, but would prefer an icon. Does anyone know how I can add the icon back? I can see no configuration option to allow the toolbar to be modified.

Whilst on the one hand I can understand the developers moving the icons out if they felt they were not used, but on the other hand I must agree with others that providing a configurable toolbar would be better than just removing icons which some people use and others don't. However, you state that doing this is not practicable due to the changing state of the toolbar and the overall complexity. I cannot argue against that since I have no idea of what is involved. For myself I never use the junk/not junk icons because we have server-side filtering of spam. I never use the previous/next icons either.

[Evolution] evolution causes disk to spin constantly
At some point (could be 1 to 10 minutes) after starting evolution, the
hard disk starts spinning constantly, nic and hub blink constantly, and
vmstat shows lots of data sent to block device (bo column). The program
will continue until I get a message that it can't contact the server, or
I kill it, but it will stay this way for hours.
Can someone tell me what might be happening?

Re: [Evolution] evolution causes disk to spin constantly
I solved my own problem.
Cause:
I had a big folder (>100,000 messages) on an Exchange server,
which constantly got more mail from and active mailing list,
and filter run re-counted the folder, which took too long.
New mail would arrive before the re-count could complete,
and the process would repeat.
Fix:
Now filter moves mail to a Unix IMAP server, and I don't see the
problem (for now).
