Hi, the Evolution doesn't have any such option, but it also doesn't block the key auto-retrieve, unless the application is in the offline mode. Thus when you've configured gpg to download keys from some server and you are online, gpg can download it. > 2. How can I get a later version of the binary for Evolution?

Without doing the diagnostics, I do know that other signed messages are handled properly, almost always with the warning that the key isn't known. Two issues arising:: 1. Does Evolution have any tools or support for downloading public keys etc? I've used such a capability in other email clients. Do I need to learn how to use gpg directly at the command line? 2. How can I get a later version of the binary for Evolution? My Debian-based distro (LMDE) offers only 3.30.5-1.1.

I've a hard time to find the message in an mbox format. Hi, thanks for the example message (received in a private mail). Unfortunately, I am able to view it, it opens with no problem here, saying "This message is signed, but the public key is not in your keyring" at the top, under which is the message itself. This is with the development version of Evolution (to be 3.39.1). I do not have 3.30.5 installed anywhere, the oldest I've found is 3.32.5, which can show the message properly too, under (obsolete) Fedora 30 distribution. I tried also with 3.28.5 in RHEL 8 and it can view the message with no problem, thus I guess there's something with gpg on your machine. Having the backtrace would help (and can correct me). Eventually/also run Evolution from a terminal like this: $ CAMEL_DEBUG=gpg evolution which may or may not show something useful.

You can install debuginfo packages for evolution and evolution-data-server and then grab a backtrace of the evolution process, to see where it is stuck. You can get the backtrace with command like this: $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords, email address, server addresses,...

I ran with logging, but couldn't see any events being logged when I selected and attempted to open the affected messages. I reasoned that if they were cached, there wouldn't be any traffic. I closed evo, renamed the folder's maildir file in ~/.cache/evolution and restarted evo with the logging enabled and redirected to a text file. Then waited about an hour for that folder to be indexed. In that text file I can find the text of the missing messages, so I can see that they have downloaded fine. But when viewed in evo, just the ""Retrieving message “48039”" advice in the message view pane. The status bar sticks at "Parsing message". Again, this appears to be consistent for all messages from the two posters known to use pgp signatures. Anything else I can pick out of this to help? No sign (that I can see) of anything untoward in the log dump. -- Chris ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Could you run evolution from a terminal, maybe it shows something there. If you run it as: $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io, imapx:conman evolution then you'll see a raw communication and some extended debugging about the connection, which may help. Do not share the log, unless you are fine to share something private (do not do that), as some private information can be also encoded, not visible on the first look. I would select one of the offending messages and check what will be added on the terminal.

Evo consistently fails to retrieve messages from three specific regular contributors to that list. These same messages can be read in other clients (Thunderbird, The Bat!) I would invite anyone interested to subscribe to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ to see if this replicates for them. If you try it, look for messages from wanderer, tuxteam and lermer. In my case, Evo shows a message similar to "Retrieving message “48039”".

I get that (or similar) messages, sometimes. It's a bug. Opening another folder and then going back, often fixes it in my case. Or just delete the message. It's (in my case) a leftover of some message which has been moved to a different place, and can be removed. Nothing serious (what I've experienced).
