Re: [Evolution] What is the Search Folder Unmatched for?

The Unmatched folder produces a very uninformative error box. What is this folder for? What criteria must a message fulfill to get into it? A web search has been uninformative. Unmatched is every email in the folders you're searching that doesn't fit the criteria for whatever other search folders you have set up. If you haven't set up any other search folders, then Unmatched is every email from whatever folders you specify. For example: search folder: Mail sent from A search folder: Mail sent from B search folder: Mail with subject C In that case, Unmatched will be all mail not sent from A or B and not with subject C. Think of Unmatched as everything that's left over from your other searches. Unfortunately, Unmatched doesn't work in Evo 2.26.1.

Re: [Evolution] Moving to Evo from Thunderbird?
On Tue, 2007-11-06 at 07:20 -0600, Bob Root wrote: Is there any further information about moving from Thunderbird To Evolution; Pros and Cons etc. I really like the look and feel of Evolution; have used Thunderbird for years prior to shedding Windows op systems. Funny, I used Tbird for years (first on Windows, then on several Linux OS'es and OS X) before switching to Evolution last year. Recently I had occasion to return to Tbird for about a week, when in a fit of pique unrelated to Evo I decided to rip most of GNOME out of my system. I was hard-pressed to remember why I had liked Tbird so much for so long. I don't mean to sound as if I'm dumping on it because I'm sure a large part of my discomfort was just having to readjust to its quirks after having become used to Evo's quirks. But I guess I expected to feel like I was returning to an old friend, and instead I found myself thinking that's irritating much more often than I'd expected. For me the principle advantage of Evo is the way it integrates into GNOME. Tbird feels alien outside of Windows (it feels especially alien on OS X), especially when you like to do most things from the keyboard as I do. If you're not a GNOME user, though, it doesn't make as much a difference, I guess. I'm Microsoft-free, so all the Exchange stuff isn't an issue for me either way; if anything, it's a little frustrating to see how much of Novell's Evo effort goes to making Evo work with Exchange. I wonder about the future of Tbird. It seems to be in an uncertain state within the Mozilla Foundation, and one of its main developers just quit. In the beginning it seemed like Firefox and Thunderbird were accorded near-equal priority, but at some point Mozilla started putting way more of its eggs in the Firefox basket and the bird is suffering some neglect -- not so much that it isn't still a viable project or valuable app, but neglect nonetheless. Anyway, I'm back with Evo, which I guess speaks volumes. -- Michael M. ++ Portland, OR ++ USA No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. --S.

So I will just add a comment, saying that it happens on Mandriva too. And believe me, this a VERY important bug, when you are using Evo for your daily job... :-( I hope it will be fixed soon. It is happening for me on Debian Sid/unstable. :-( I echo your hope for a quick fix/update.
