Hi, that's a question for flatpak-builder, or better for your distribution, to update the package dependencies. The flatpak-builder itself detected missing first binary, it told you so, but the second one had been mandatory and it detected it's missing the hard way. Thus I believe it should be fixed on the packaging level. On Mon, 2018-06-25 at 14:44 -0500, Japhering wrote: > Thoughts ? Nothing more than what's here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2018-June/msg00079.html Eventually, I can provide one more (ugh, the third version) build script of the Flatpak Evolution, which will use system evolution-data- server, just like GNOME Calendar and others, thus it'll not run in an isolated sandbox. That would be only for the stable version, if at all; or I can change the stable version to just do it this way, but there will be a huge disadvantage, because when you'll need certain fix on the evolution-data-server side, like when some book/calendar backend will require a change to behave properly, then even when you use up-to- date evolution, then the backend itself will be outdated, thus you'll not have the fix and it'll still misbehave. This makes false impression, from my point of view, thus I chose to have Flatpak version also use the up-to-date evolution-data-server, which has the other disadvantages (see the first section of the Wiki page for Evolution in Flatpak). It's so isolated that you cannot access local system files, among other things. There are some more technical details around this, but I do not want to tire people here.

Being well behaved, Evolution will add a plain text version when it sends the mail out, but since the conversion from HTML to plain text does not know about quoting, it just sees different coloured text and puts just the text into the alternative part. The mailing list preferentially selects the plain text part if there is one to send to everyone, hence your post arrived without quote indicators and indentation. All you have to do is to make sure the drop down underneath the Subject: label in the composer says "Plain Text" and not "HTML". Unless you've changed it, the default quote indicator of "> " is perfectly fine and what you should see when composing the email.

I'm not sure if you are aware of it. Well, blame Evolution and the mailing list. Someone, right after my first reply, stated that all replies should be in plain text and responses being interspersed with in the message. Unless, I'm missing an option in Evolution, I'm simply replying, interspersing my responses with Evolution in plaintext mode, which seems to still want to use color to indicate depth of comments..

Hi, out of curiosity, what is "the issue" you are talking about, please? Is it specific to your Linux Mint distribution or it's some issue with "Evolution in Flatpak"? By the way, your "quoting style" is pretty hard to follow, because there's basically no indication what you wrote and what wrote someone else. I'm not sure if you are aware of it.

Bring up the Gnome settings page and there should be an item called 'Online Accounts' and in that an item labelled 'Google' - enter your mail account information there and it will appear in Evolution once it's authenticated.

Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment, but on average I have 6-8 different email accounts being handled through Evolution ( I don't like Thunderbird ) and almost as many calendars combined into one Evolution calendar. I think it's important to understand what the differences are. Google by default uses the OAuth2 mechanism for authentication. For things that can't cope with OAuth2 the security can be lessened to use classic username/password authentication. But there are restrictions in place on whether OAuth2 can be dropped. That's where I'm stuck. The version of Evolution available to me doesn't support Oauth and I'm not allow to the less secure mode. > > > How are you creating the account in Evolution?

The machine part is a real pain, because it is my normal work machine. I'm not sure if 3.18.5 can deal with OAuth2.
