Re: [Evolution] Pilot synch
I assume you're using the Tools/Pilot/Sync menu from within EVO. In my case I had success when - and only when! - I set the conduits anew every time I use the Pilot. Maybe that helps.

AFAIK the best way to find leaks is using valgrind. Maybe this page will
be useful during your hunt, too:
http://gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml
As you obviously are willing to debug this yourself or at least start
it, the evolution-hackers list might be a place for you to ask.

You are aware that --force-shutdown stops e-d-s as well as any other Evo
related task, including Evolution itself? You can't shutdown Evo only
with that command. Just in case, cause I didn't get which part this
particularly was about.

This works in Evo 2.2.x, so this obviously is a regression since 2.4.
Please file a bug report at bugzilla.gnome.org and mention it's a
regression in the detailed description. Feel free to post the bug number
here. :)

Well, IMHO whatever way the mailer uses, there are downsides.
If you're replying to your customers, you likely want to put some
greeting line or whatever at the top. This isn't an issue with mailing
lists, though. ;)
Having the cursor at the top sure encourages TOFU. Anyway, IMHO it is
the best option. Cause simply replying at the bottom isn't the way to go
either.
With the cursor being at the top, the user gets a chance to behave
really nicely. Which is a) replying inline where appropriate rather than
at the bottom or top, and b) stripping everything that isn't necessary.
Thus he needs to go down the entire mail anyway. Actually doing so is
the users duty. ;-)
FWIW, you replied inline, leaving comments where appropriate (see
above). Now if the cursor would have been at the bottom when replying,
you would have to move the cursor anyway. ;)
Just a few personal thoughts...

Re: [Evolution] Pilot synch
Thanks Martin, That has been my experience for some years now, too. What I find difficult to comprehend, is that in this whole open source thing, that the gnome/evolution developers have not used the jpilot sync code, because it works really well, every time. My problem is that in my tiredness and frustration I screwed up in jpilot and did not choose "restore handheld" but merely synchronised and my empty pilot blitzed my desktop data in jpilot. Now I need to get my data back from evo onto the pilot. It would be nice if there were a way to export the address data from evo to jpilot, and then at least I could start using my pilot again.

If its a regression from 2.2 and the fix is pretty straight forward then shouldn't it go to the 2.4 branch as well ? Its kinda sad to expect users to upgrade to a unstable branch to get a regression fix.

[Evolution] Selecting adresses
Hi, Since Evo 2.2 the selection process for mail-addresses has IMHO deteriorated as has been mentioned several times in this list. I would like to make the suggestion that to the search listbox. which now is a single list only for names is added - just as in contacts, a picklist where you can choose from which part of the address you want to make the selection (identical to the main contact list window). E.g. instead of names you can choose categories - very handy when you want to sent mail to groups - or even "any field contains" for some other item you want to sort on.
