[Evolution] Outbox auto flush
Hi Folks, New to Evolution, using 3.10.4 on Mint 17, 64 bit. The mail client runs all day and filters sling important personal e-mail to my mobile phone account when I'm at work, but although the filters themselves are working, the mail is sitting in the outbox and aren't being sent. I read old forum threads about, "invisible options," and various other bits about settings in the gconf editor which aren't present in mine. The other folders auto sync fine, but just not the outbox. Most of my day is spent away from home and this is an important thing for me. Any help gratefully appreciated.

[Evolution] MAIL FROM timeout
Hi Folks, Sending e-mails (and auto flush of the outbox on filtered, forward e-mails) are failing sometimes with errors like... MAIL FROM command failed: TCP connection reset by peer ... and "timeout" reports. It takes a couple of resend attempts before e-mails will go. Any ideas where I can look to adjust "timeout" settings please?

Just did an update/upgrade. Still at 3.10.4. Looks like I'll have to stay here until the repos catch up. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Re: [Evolution] Configuration problem -- perhaps some instructions would help
Hi Folks, Thanks for the feedback. I'm on Mint 17.1 Cinnamon and Evolution 3.10.4, which is fine except for the problem that I get error messages on sending, forcing a few retries, which is no real bother when I'm sat here, but the automatic forwarding of e-mails to my mobile when I'm not, then becomes unreliable. I'd posted about that before, and was told that the problem had been solved on a later release. I continued to live with the situation until eventually I snapped and thought I'd try compiling it ... with the end result (after some time in dependency hell :-) ) being where I am now. I'm one of those people that hated Unity when it came out; hence the jump to Mint. I still go back and try it now and then, but I still can't get on with it. Regarding Gnome 3 ... It looks like I'll have to sit back and wait for Ubuntu to embrace Gnome 3 properly and see where it goes ... and struggle in the mean time.

[Evolution] Mint 18 - Evo 3.18.5.2 issues
Hi Folks, I was on Mint 17 and have two partitions / and /home so when I upgrade the OS using a completely fresh install, my data and preferences just port. However, after the upgrade to Mint 18 along with Evolution 3.18.5.2 I've got two problems... 1) Evolution isn't savng the "default" account after closing and re- starting the app. It sets and appears to be happy when reset, but possibly not, because of problem 2... 2) Auto-forwarded mail done by rule, is not sending but sitting in the outbox. I have rules that filter incoming e-mail and important e-mails get forwarded to my mobile phone. However, after the update, this isn't working. The mails appear to be formatted correctly with the default account, but they just sit there and don't send.

[Evolution] Importing CSV into evolution
Hi, I'm migrating from a Mac OS X desktop to Linux, and I want to get my contacts into Evolution. I've exported a CSV from Apple's addressbook (using a third party tool - addressbook doesn't export natively .) I first tried exporting using that tool's "Outlook filter" - but that csv didn't import into Evolution (using the Outlook file type) at all, for some reason. I tried various other things, all of which resulted in munged contacts. Lastly, I exported a dummy record out of Mozilla thunderbird, and rearragned the column order *exactly* using OO spreadsheet, then imported that CSV into evolution using the mozilla file type - I *still* got munged contacts. Any suggestions for how to deal with this? Documentation on the column/field order expected, or other ways to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I've noticed that evolution basically doesn't filter spam on its own.

I don't have spamassassin installed - I'm simply using Evolution (version 2.10.1 - Ubuntu Fiesty) as a pop client. Are you saying that I'd have to set up spamassassin on my laptop to filter the spam before it gets to evo? That certainly is a possible solution, but it would be a drag.

[Evolution] Evolution not listening to quit
Upgraded my version of Mint, which has... Evolution 3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Prior to upgrading Linux Mint, my evolution backup script contained the following... #!/bin/sh export DISPLAY=:0.0 rm /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/5.tar.gz mv /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/4.tar.gz /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/5.tar.gz mv /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/3.tar.gz /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/4.tar.gz mv /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/2.tar.gz /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/3.tar.gz mv /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/1.tar.gz /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/2.tar.gz sleep 5 cd ~ /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-backup --restart --backup /mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/1.tar.gz It is set to run three times a week and needed the export command to get the shutdown to occur. However, on those occasions I am now waking up after the overnight backup, to find two copies of Evolution running. With or without the display export. The results form the script are as follows... michelle@main-desktop:~$ ./evo-backup.sh evolution-backup-Message: 09:05:55.487: evolution --quit evolution-backup-Message: 09:05:55.886: rm /home/michelle/.local/share/evolution/.running rm: cannot remove '/home/michelle/.local/share/evolution/.running': No such file or directory evolution-backup-Message: 09:05:55.888: dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/ >/home/michelle/.local/share/evolution/backup-restore-dconf-eds.ini evolution-backup-Message: 09:05:55.892: dconf dump /org/gnome/evolution/ >/home/michelle/.local/share/evolution/backup- restore-dconf-evo.ini evolution-backup-Message: 09:05:55.908: cd /home/michelle && tar chf - .local/share/evolution .config/evolution evolution.dir | gzip > '/mnt/tank/users/michelle/backup/mail/1.tar.gz' tar: .local/share/evolution: file changed as we read it evolution-backup-Message: 09:08:07.003: rm /home/michelle/evolution.dir So evolution-backup is reporting the "quit" to evolution, but it doesn't appear to be listening.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution not listening to quit
Thank you all.
Initially, I was using the --restart option when calling evolution-
backup so I would have assumed that it would have its own internal
timing on this. I'll try issuing the evolution --quit command from a
terminal window and give evolution some time, and see what it does, as
per Ralf's suggestion.
Andre's explanation of some distributions disabling behaviour seems the
most likely, especially as the people behind the Mint distribution seem
to be cautious about the versions they bundle.
If all else fails, I'll use Michael's code.
Many thanks for the help.
Michelle.

I'm just > guessing > here. I would try to `kill -9` it and then retest the > `evolution --quit`. Yes, I use the --restart option on purpose. The usage of Evolution in my instance, is also to field e-mails. Important senders are forwarded by Evolution, to another e-mail account that is picked up by my mobile phone. So Evolution is usually running 24/7. As a result, the mobile phone only goes "ping" on my hip when something really important has arrived. As opposed to when it was directly connected to the in-box and was pinging with every piece of trash that came through. I thus use Evolution's rules and forwarding very heavily. I don't use IMAP because I keep an extensive e-mail history and some attachments are large; (going back to 2003) so I keep everything local, and local backups also. That way, I don't get an irate service provider :-) ... and yes, I accept the loss that inevitably happens occasionally. Nothing is perfect. I thus use Pop accounts and Evolution checks about 10 e-mail accounts, every 10 minutes, so a simple file copy/tar could readily catch evolution in mid-check. Some years ago, I was also going to Europe for a few weeks and tried to copy the files to a laptop and run Evolution from there. It failed, and I had to run an evolution-backup from the PC, and then import the backup on the laptop (doing the reverse when I got home) ... and I've been using evolution-backup ever since. Hence I rely on evolution-backup rather than a straightforward file copy. It's neater to quiesce evolution, back it up and then start again cleanly. I did alter the script to ask evolution to quit myself (rather than relying on evolution-backup to do it) and then wait 30 seconds, and if evolution hadn't quit, then issue a kill. Then wait another few seconds and then run evolution-backup with the --restart. Something inside me believe it's more dangerous to have multiple copies of evolution running, than it is to resort to killing the process.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution-backup gone after Mint upgrade to 20
Thank you all for the input. Libevolution is present at version 3.36.3-0ubuntu1 but evolution-backup is not present in /usr/lib/evolution. I have tried removal and reinstall of that package. I can also confirm that running backup via the menu works. My main automatic client backup takes a bit of time, hence I use evolution-backup as a means of, "in between," backup that I can run more frequently. It's used as an addition, rather than a replacement.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution-backup gone after Mint upgrade to 20
Well, that was strange. evolution-backup was previously at - /usr/lib/evolution - which was what is in my backup script and was working fine before the update to Mint 20. After checking, I found it at /usr/libexec/evolution I went to test it and attempted to start the test by shutting down evolution with... evolution --quit ... but it told me that evolution wasn't installed, even though it was up and running at the time. So... after installing evolution, I'm going to send this e-mail to the list, then shut down the evolution that's running, attempt to start it again, and see what I get.
