[Evolution] Sorting Levels on Message list
Hi and happy new year to all! I have an issue in Evo 3.22.3. Sometimes, I need to find a mail from someone, but I don't know how to search exactly, so I need to scan through the messages from that person on date order. So I click date on the list bar, then all messages are sorted by Date. This is fine and as expected. Then I click Sender name, and all messages are sorted by the Sender Name, but this time, the date sort is lost. What I would expect is Evo to sort by Name and also keep the date order for messages from that Name. Outlook behaves like this as an example, so that you can scan through the list of emails from that person by date order and maybe find the one you're looking for, if you know approximately the month, etc. So if Evo could keep the last two sorting selections in mind, it would be really good. Creating a search folder each time I do this is not an option as it's not practical in my view.

[Evolution] EWS: No response: Connection terminated unexpectedly
Hi, I'm on 3.22.2 and I'm very frequently getting this error stating "No response: Connection terminated unexpectedly", when sending messages or receiving stuff through EWS, but a subsequent try works without issues. So where can be the issue? A socket timeout too short? some inter-process communication issue? Anybody facing this?

[Evolution] Sidebar - Shrinking Further
Hi, I'm on 3.22.2. The sidebar width can be shrunk to a certain limit and then it does not get narrower. However, there are still lots of space between most of the useful folder names & the border. Is there a way to unblock this limitation so that the Sidebar can occupy even less space? It is useful in small laptop displays. I know of the F9 to show/hide the Sidebar, but some keyboards need an extra step to reach F keys so not intuitive. I also like seeing my folders (at least the favorite ones) at any given moment. Outlook 2013 is doing a good job on this, you can collapse the Sidebar and then it shows only the few favorites, ie Inbox, Sent, etc. folder names with Vertical text.

Actually, the bottom bar of current Evolution is, in my humble opinion, bombarding user with messages (ie when downloading lots of messages), which are never really read. I would rather opt for a status bar with: Left Side: A single line with real status messages, Fetching Message 561/12544 for example. or like out look "all folders up to date", "folder being updated". etc. Clicking it could bring a window with all log messages. Right Side: a simple message on connectivity and last update time of that account. Connected or Disconnected, Updated at 10:20. Connection Error. Again, clicking it will reveal details. If you have access to any Outlook, 2007 or later, I would recommend to have a look at that. Never displays any workflow breaking, or screen estate steling messages to the user on main widow, even if there are errors. What I aimed for was a change in the evolution-activesync to use > GNetworkMonitor (or better ENetworkMonitor from eds) to check first > that the destination server is available and only if it is then do the > network I/O, which can eventually fail, but with other error message > than the one you see.

In other cases, although my "Evolution-Activesync" displays errors (ie can't fetch message, can't login, username/password error, etc.), actually there's no error and clicking another message starts downloading and showing it. You can then click the "error generating message" and it magically shows as well. Not sure what's going on there.

I'm not sure to agree with this. The error may be coming from the Evolution-Activesync component (and sometimes from any account), but I do not need to be bothered with this pressing a button each time. I know the error and I expect it, since this account (and some IMAP) are not accessible when I'm in corporate network. At least there could be a button to "do not show again". The error message in Evolution shall be less obtrusive and I think such change, if accepted, is within Evolution main window.

[Evolution] Offline Messages Age in IMAP
Hi, I have an IMAP server which I use for archiving purposes. It has folders for each year. In Windows, I set Outlook and Thunderbird to synchronize last 1 year of emails locally, so that I can access them while I'm travelling/disconnected, etc. (ie in the office, not having access to the archive server at home). I can see in Evolution 3.22.2 that there's an option to "synchronize email locally for offline operation" and folder settings which states "copy folder content for offline operation", but I cannot find the setting to limit the age of synced items. (I do not need 3-4 years of offline data, last 1 year is sufficient). Am I missing something or is this a new feature that's not implemented? PS. Likewise, I wonder how Gmail is handled in Evolution in offline mode, since it can have Gigabytes of data.

Hi, I'm using Evolution 3.22.2 in up to date Arch system. I have several accounts in it, and one of them is an Exchange Activesync account using Evolution-Activesync from Gnome git. This account is not accessible when I'm inside the corporate network. So each time Evolution starts, it gives me a message in the upper part of the main window stating: Failed to refresh folder "Account_Name : Inbox The reported error was "GDBus.Error:org.meego.activesyncd.Error.Failed: HTTP request failed: 7 - Connection terminated unexpectedly"." How can I mute this error? I don't have to see it each time. Alternatively, I would be just happy to see a disconnected icon on left folder list like an IMAP account?

For sure there's a good reason why it exists, but that reason does not seem to be valid in business world usage of email. In business world, I get 40k emails a year on average, and never seen it. If Evolution encourages usage in corporate world with MS Exchange servers and the colleagues using Outlook, then we need to play with the rules of Outlook. Outlook do not have such preceeding "--".

If you are adventurous and don't mind to mess up your system with many dev packages etc, then I think you can do the following (roughly!) The problem is to setup initial build environment. Then each new release, if it still is compatible with the system Gnome libs, compiles easily. Here's what I do, but I may be missing steps since it's been a few months since I setup last build environment : 0) make sure you use Ubuntu 15.04, enable source pancake repositories. This below procedure may need updated library packages in the gnome3 PPA, I don't remember, so it may be needed to add that PPA first as well. 1) apt-get install build-essential 2) apt-get build-dep evolution-data-server This command will install all development packages needed for compiling evolution data server, which is the 1st package we need. (there will be some missing and some outdated!) 3) download and extract latest stable evolution data server. cd into that directory 4) run ./autogen.sh 5) run ./configure --help and check options. I use --prefix /usr/local (unnecessary since it's the default) and some other options to disable some unused features (for my use case) 6) at this stage, you will probably have errors. You need to read and fix them. You may be missing auto tools packages, other SW needed for compilations, some libraries, or some library may be too old. 7) fix above by searching Google, installing packages, finding newer version of packages (Ie from next Ubuntu of Debian release) or installing them by manually compiling. (can create system instability) 8) re run configure with parameters and fix more problems that come up, until configure succeeds 9) run make 10) run make install At this point, you will have evolution-data-server installed probably at /usr/local. Do the same for evolution source file and then evolution-ews source file. Evolution is equally difficult and evolution-ews is easy. Then you have latest version installed. Congrats! Try to run it and see if it works. In next update, download sources and try again. Newer release may render your build environment insufficient to compile again. There can be new or newer libraries needed, etc. So at some point you may need to upgrade to Kubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 for example to make your Evolution compile again. Not that I use Kubuntu so my desktop environment is KDE. So I don't mind breaking Gnome libraries since the only Gnome app I use is Evolution.

I just have reasons to think long and hard before going away from Ubuntu derivatives. Hi Tim, if you could use Ubuntu Vivid or Utopic, you can use the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3 I'm using it now. Otherwise, when I used 14.04, I self compiled Evolution since I needed webkit composer. To do it, you need to first sudo apt-get build-dep evolution-data-server to get all required dependencies. You can then download any version you like for evolution-data-server, evolution and evolution-ews (only if you use exchange) from the Evo github. https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-ews You can then extract them into a folder, and start trying to compile: My Example for Evolution-Data-Server, run inside the extracted zip folder: ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-goa --disable-uoa --enable-ipv6=no --disable-weather --with-openldap --disable-examples This may create some errors, also depending on the version you use. For example, you can't compile 3.16 in 14.04 or even 15.04, since the repository lacks the new version of libwbxml2 that Evo requires. So you'll need to find it online, compile it and install it before proceeding to fix other missing libraries. I think libwbxml2 was the only problem I faced for 15.04. Then you can do make and when it finishes, you can do checkinstall to install a packaged version, or if you're fine to live without a package, you can simply do sudo make install to install in /usr/local Once the EDS installed, you can do the same for Evolution: cd ../evolution-master ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gnome-desktop --disable-autoar --disable-gtk-doc-html --enable-smime --enable-nss --disable-weather --without-help --with-openldap --enable-pst-import --disable-spamassassin make sudo make install and then the same for evolution-ews if you need it. If you can get the 1st compilation right, then you can put all these into a script and it would probably work fine until they change some library version requirements or new libraries (like it happened on 3.16 for libwbxml2, while it was fine for 3.13.x) Let me know how it goes, Br, Emre ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

The 2nd level sort will be according to its last state (ie either recent to old or old to recent), or if this is too complicated, can be just from recent to old. Message internal date or received date? Received date. I know your new function can do the above already, this is just to avoid a key press since sorting by sender name and then by date is something I use very frequently in Outlook (I know many of my colleagues also use it when trying to quickly find a mail from a given person). Not sure about the correct semantics here. What if the user has already sorted by Subject and then wants to sort by sender? Under your proposal, the Subject sorting could easily be lost. To avoid that, Evo would need to remember which sort fields had already been selected by the user, and in which order (all of this per folder of course). Sounds rather complex but I haven't thought through all the implications. Well, this is how Outlook works, so one could look from it if you have in hand somewhere :) For my use case, I nearly never sort by Subject. So this function shall only work when the mailing list current sort is received date and if the user clicks sender column. Result will be: mails are sorted by sender with decending or ascending 2nd level sort. So you will see, from each sender, mails from recent ones towards old ones. In outlook, what we did is, you sort your list by received date for daily work. If you need to find any mail from a person, 1) you click sender with mouse, Outlook sorts by sender, then by ascending or descenting received date depending on the original received date sort 2) you then click the 1st letter of sender's surname and Outlook jumps to the first message from this sender. 3) Consequent clicks to the same sender surname 1st letter will move one by one on the messages from the sender. 4) if there are multiple sender names starting with same letter, then pressing a 2nd letter would move you to that sender. For example, if you have a sender with surname Eric and Emre, first click to E will move to Emre, second click will move to Eric. After step 1, you don't need to move your hand to mouse.. PS. If this is a good idea, I can check exactly how it works in Outlook. -- Emre ___ 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] EWS: Calendar moving my appointments 30 minutes forward?

[Evolution] Mail List Sorting Issue
Hi, To find a certain mail in my mailbox or archive, for which I know the sender but not a keyword from subject line, I sometimes 1)click the TO column header, 2) click any message and press the first letter of the surname of the sender 3) this jumps me to the first message related to this person So far so good, Outlook-like experience. Now the confusion starts. My mailbox is normally sorted by date, recent first. When I click TO column to sort by surname, it sorts by surname but looses the 2nd level sort by date. I expect the sorting to be 1st based on surname then 2nd within the same surname to be sorted by date. In my Evolution 3.11.90 compiled with jhbuild (webkit-composer master branch, rebased 13 days ago), 2nd level sorting by date is not working. MEssages are shown in mixed order. This makes my life very difficult, since I can approximately remember when a message was sent, but then I have to make a linear search with my eyes to find the right one, impossible when you have 10s of messages from same person.

Well, I've been using this for years in Windows Outlook and I did not face any issues. Worst case could be that I archive a mail and as well as the disk location if a project (or subject) becomes too old, or rarely I may do a re-shuffling of my files in a project but then I'm aware that I've changed something. The link at least gives me a piece of info that the removed attachment notice doesn't give: where it was saved before. Knowing where it was saved before will then help me find its new location easily without making another step to search. Searching is anyway always possible. So by adding a link or a pointer to the saved location inside the text, you lose nothing, but gain an info which will be useful in 90% of the cases (in my cases at least). Anyway this link aspect is not the main subject of the request, it's a bonus. A detach function is priority to gain some seconds from my life and less strain on my fingers of saving extra mouse clicks :) PS. I don't use Evo for mailing lists or technical mails, I'm pure business user and I deal with ~150 mails from many different subjects everyday from many countries.

Re: [Evolution] expression search / complex search phrase
Jun 13, 2013; 5:13am — by Thomas Mittelstaedt Why don't you use filters to filter your many emails in your huge INBOX, assigning tags (labels) to them, moving them into different folders and so on. You find that under Edit-message Filters in the main menu. Thanks Thomas for your proposal as well. Indeed, this type of working is suitable for many people and some of my team are doing like this. However, each deal with let's say around 10-20 proposals a year. As of now, we've already made 100+ proposals, it will easily exceed 200+ by end of the year. One of them that we are about to sign a contract has 942 messages including the ones in my archive. Making ~200+ folders per year is not sustainable and categorizing mails into folders also take time if filters don't work (not everybody make a proper subject line unfortunately). That's why I've chosen not to use folders at all and I depend solely on filter/search as I need it through the a daywork. It served me well until today on Outlook Thunderbird. As I'm now trying to move to Evolution (looking forward to the webkit html composer which is the last blocking point), I was checking if such search is possible in Evolution as well. I shall probably make a bug report request, maybe someday it can get implemented.

Hi, I generally have 1500-2000 emails in my inbox before I archive them, and as part of my daily email activity at work, I depend a lot on email search.

With this add-on, I can do searches like: from:some_guy to:other_guy subject:topic1 and see only mails from some_guy sent to or cc other_guy under the subject topic1. some other time, I'm just using from:name subject:topic2 to search for specific email subject coming from a specific person. At the moment, evolution does not let me do this and forces me to choose from a drop-down list with limited choice. Is there some way to write such complex search phrase?

You can use just one condition, or add as many as you may need. If you think you may need to use the same search criteria again, you can name and save it. If not, just use it the one time and discard it when it is finished. Although I think I understand your situation, I guess I don't quite understand your problem. Could you elaborate? My problem is in fact simple. The search function in Evolution in itself is very good. But it is very slow to use and requires too many mouse clicks and keyboard entries, hopping between fields choosing criteria phrase. When you have to use it too many times, it is a burden on time. Saving each search is also not an option as there are too many possible combinations of searches I do daily. If I could put that whole search criteria into the search/filter bar on top of the message list, and see the result in the message list, it would solve my problem. using keyboard and putting your criteria is much faster: from:emre to:bart subject:search withattachment:yes or even shorter: f:emre t:bart s:search wa:yes and you'll see all mail from me to you with subject containing search and which contains attachments.
