[Evolution] how to start over
I installed and started evolution. After messing up my first e-mail account, I tried to fix it, but couldn't find any way to change it. I tried to start over with rm -r ~/.evolution , but that did not work either. Somewhere it found the information to recreate ~/.evolution . I've got an evolution folder/identity/whatever with the right name that doesn't work. It's inert. How do I start over? I'm trying to connect to a cableone.net account. I've used evolution before, but it was a long drawn out struggle. All I really remember is the blood. -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword. -- Lily ___ 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] Where does evolution store its files?
Alas my Evolution 2.32.3 has no File ▸ Back up Evolution Data. It does have a File ▸ Back up Evolution Settings, but if that worked, I can't tell for sure. I get a pop-up: The folder contents could not be displayed Operation not supported After closing the pop-up, it lets me browse for a place to put the tar.gz file. I can't tell if it saved my in-boxes from under On This Computer or not. I've been looking at the table of contents, but it hasn't helped. I don't know what I'm looking for. Is the naming scheme in the FM somewhere? -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword. -- Lily___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

There is a similar bug report for 2.32.2 searches not being vanished properly when moving between folders, though UI looks like not filter being applied. The workaround is to set a new filtering by writing some text in the Search filed above the message list, then erase it with the clear button on the right. That may return back your messages. Thanks. That worked. One reason that I want to refresh is that exchange plays game with images to protect your privacy. In a lot of cases, leaving out the images makes it hard to look at, much less read. On the web interface, I got them back in for a useful fraction. Now I would like to acess them through evolution. If I get it working, will a standard refresh take care of that? If not, what do I need to do? I expect that deleting and reinstalling folders would do the trick, but I was hoping for something less drastic. Is there a way to handle the image problem just through evolution? I'm afraid if that's server-side cleverness, then if it doesn't send those images to a client, then there is nothing one can do. But, if the images are not attached into the message, then try to change Edit-Preferences-Mail Preferences-HTML Messages tab, Loading images section, which is the place where you influence whether you want to see remote images or not. The quick test is to select the message and press View-Load Images (Ctrl+I), which forces load of them - supposing you see HTML messages as HTML, not as plain text (usually monospaced, like this message) - setup is below the one for Load Images.

You don't say, but can we just check that you have cleared the search by pressing the yellow brush (I think it's supposed to be??) icon at the right hand end of the search box? I have now. In general it is thought to be a bad thing to load all images in every message - many spam mailers use these net images to monitor and harvest addresses that are live: a small single pixel gif with a unique name will immediately tell a spammer that the message that contained it was delivered and read and hence went to a live address. This is just one of the many ways images in emails can be used in naughty way - there are many others. In this case, the messages are from a son-to-be-defunct source from which such problems have been deleted.
