Hello, Getting error when adding local Linux mail, with Local Delivery File of "/var/spool/mail/jpg", account to evolution.
Evolution version: 3.30.5-1+deb10u1 Flatpak version: 1.2.5-0+deb10u4 After adding local Linux email account, it does NOT show up in the accounts panel. Also the evolution GUI has error of "Could not open mail file /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg" Thought I would just add +r attribute to the tmpfs file, but chmod fails with: $ chmod +r /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg chmod: changing permissions of '/run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg': Function not i implemented In looking for answers to this error, it appeared maybe an attribute was set on the file, so I tried listing them but that failed too: $ lsattr /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg lsattr: Function not implemented While reading flags on /run/user/1000/doc/8cff3 9fa/jpg Digging into the lsattr error suggested this was due to automount, or that the file is a symlink. Confirmed that /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg is NOT a symlink, or any of the upstream path elements either. Unfortunately I am not well acquainted with the nuances of "/run" tmpfs, so unsure if the automount suggestion is the issue. However, still puzzled as to why evolution is using the "/run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg" path instead of "/var/spool/mail/jpg" which I entered into the account as the local delivery file. The two files "/var/spool/mail/jpg" and "/run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg" are the same size and binary equivalent, i.e.: $ ll /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg /var/spool/mail/jpg -rw-rw---- 1 jpg mail 10467017 Jan 13 07:41 /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg -rw-rw---- 1 jpg mail 10467017 Jan 13 07:41 /var/spool/mail/jpg $ cmp /run/user/1000/doc/8cff39fa/jpg /var/spool/mail/jpg $ Executing start up of Evolution from command line with: $ flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution Echos out an Warning after a few seconds to the terminal of: evolution.bin:27): e-mail-engine-WARNING **: 08:03:58.156: Failed to add servic e 'Sendmail' (sendmail): No provider available for protocol “sendmail” I use postfix as my MTA. So this warning is probably a red herring to the initial error, but unsure. Anyway, hitting brick wall in trying to diagnose what is stopping Local Linux mail from being accessed/controlled by Evolution. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards.
