Quote from http://www.granroth.org/kbiff/kbiff-1.html#ss1.1
POP3, IMAP4, NNTP, Maildir, MBOX, MH. KBiff supports all major
mailbox formats!
So the generic way to configure KBiff is to do it like any other mail
checking app. Set up an account (probably POP3 or IMAP) in KBiff as you
did in Evo.
According to that page, there is no integration into Evolution. There
isn't anything special WRT Evolution, too.
If you want to make KBiff check Evo internal mail folders and Evo
automatically checks for new mail, I guess you can do this. Though I am
not sure, if it will work reliably or cause any issue. Evolution uses
mbox format internally for the local mail.
Unfortunately you missed to mention what your issue is or what you
really have in mind. So all I can do is guessing. The KBiff docs (the
docs of the app you want to configure) aren't sufficient?

Publishing Free/Busy Information does not push your entire calendar,
AFAIK, but free/busy information only. Thus the resulting ics file
merely mentions, whether you do have an appointment or not.

Everybody, please *stop* telling folks to lower the Spam score. This is
potentially harmful and not recommended by the experts on the SA mailing
list. If you don't understand SA and really know what you are doing, you
should *not* mess with those settings.

Please see my generic recovery steps for Address Books:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2006-January/msg00204.html
Since you still use the old settings stored in GConf: Did you have
multiple Address Books? If you did, they still point somewhere, possibly
recreated those dirs (though I am not sure about this) and you could use
these dirs directly. But then it sounds like you got one Address Book
only anyway...
If there are any stray Address Books or if you get furthers issues using
the steps explained in the archived post above, feel free to ask,
explaining the issues in detail. :)

Nope. Settings are stored in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ using GConf.
'gconf-editor' and 'gconftool-2' are handy tools.

Evo and Mozilla do use the same local *mail* structure. This does not
apply to Address Books. [1]
Since you imported that old file into Mozilla: Export it again, using
ldif format. Evo can import that.

Greg's suggestion was pretty fine, and I'm glad it already solved the

Ooh, wait... This is not correct.
SpamAssassin needs to be trained at least 200 Spam and Ham (non-Junk)
messages *each*, before the *Baesian* Classifier works. Any other SA
built-in rules and remote tests *do* work out of the box without any
training at all.
Anyway, you are correct that there is a "known bug". Up to Evo 2.4.x
there is no (good) way to train the SA Bayes filter at all, unless SA
classifies a mail incorrectly.
A hack-ish workaround to train Bayes using Evo is the following: Pick at
least 200 non-Junk messages, and keep them in mind. Now mark them as
Junk using the Evo UI. Go to your Junk folder, and mark all those
non-Junk mail we just abused in a sacrificial manner and correctly mark
them as non-Junk. SA will realize it learned these messages previously,
and learn them as Ham (non-Junk) only, AFAIK. Now we got the 200 Hams
learned. Collecting at least 200 Spams for learning shouldn't be hard I
guess. ;-)
Note: This really is a *hack* only, and you should not try this unless
you feel a little bit adventurous. :)
> You can work around it by using sa-learn on the command line. See the
> spamassassin docs for more info.
Yes. :) Please note though, that this is a safe approach only, if you
are *really* confident that there is *no* Junk in those folders you are
training as Ham. (Having all Junk removed ensures this. :)
For a safe way of training manually using 'sa-learn' I recommend saving
at least 200 Hams and Spams each into dedicated Ham and Spam files. The
safed files are in mbox format and can be learned easily using
'sa-learn' as Lee pointed out.
The Junk folder is a vFolder only, which effectively means it is a
Search over all existing real folders, displaying those mails that are
marked as Junk. The Junk mail still remains in it's physical mail folder
(the mbox format file).

Sure, I'd be surprised if GtkHTML 3.8.x would be provided by your
distro, given that you are building Evo 2.4.x from source because your
distro doesn't ship it, IIRC.

Harish told you already for atk what to do, but it seems you didn't get
the point you where supposed to understand. So here goes the same
solution again, along with an explanation.
You need the *devel* packages for GTK+ and gail. Devel packages are
usually suffixed with -devel (RPM based distros) or -dev (Debian).
Devel packages are necessary, when *building* applications that depend
on it. They provide those things (like header files) that are needed
during build time only. Whereas the regular (non-devel) packages provide
the functionality to *use* the libraries and apps. This distinction is
made to not waste space. Users of modern distros don't tend to build a
lot of apps themselves.
As a rule of thumb, if anything breaks complaining about a particular
dependency not being met, please try searching for the relevant devel
package.
Another note: By using 'locate' to hunt for the mentioned .pc file you
would have noticed that file most likely to be not installed. A
courageous 'find' would have shown this for sure. So unless you find
that file, it definitely is not the path.

So unless you find that file, it definitely is not the path. cannot find that file(gtk+-2.0.pc), not with locate, not with find and not either with the KDE search engine... Just in case you didn't know this, abc.pc files live in the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory - they indicate that a particular component is installed and a lot of info about how to build applications that require it. So the absence of gtk+-2.0.pc means you need the gtk+ version 2 package and its associated -devel package. The gtk package will install gtk+-2.0.pc.

When you mark an email as Spam, it enables Spamassassin to analyse the email's various characteristics and add it to its paramjeters that identify spam - the more times you train it with different emails the more confident Spamassassin can be in identifying Spam itself - pretty much how we learn to decide whether we like or don't like people we meet, based on past experience. When you mark an email as not spam, when Spamassassin has decided it is spam, you are forcing it to rethink some rules where it had perhaps guessed wrong. For instance, somebody sends you a learned treatise on the medical effects of Viagra, Spamassassin may werll treat it as spam, but if you tell it its's not spam, it will go away and think "not all references to Viagra mean spam, let's think more deeply about this, maybe I need to modify my rules".

[Evolution] Groupwise recurring appointment support
Hi: I noticed on the Top Priority Bugs page on go-evolution.org that "recurrence support for Groupwise" was listed and a bug number assigned. (The bug number looks like it is wrong as the linked bug report does not relate to evolution.) I am not able to make a recurring appointment in my Groupwise calendar. What are the known issues with this, and how far away is support for this feature? On a related note, I like the way recurring appointments work in evolution for the personal calendar, and I do NOT like the way recurring appointments work from the Groupwise Client (under windows).

[Evolution] Evolution + GPG + MailScanner = Bad Juju...
Ok all, I'm cross posting this to both Evolution and MailScanner because I can already predict the finger pointing that's naturally going to result. A few months ago, someone brought it to my attention that my GPG signatures (messages signed only, not encrypted) where suddenly turning up "bad". The signature on this message will probably be "bad". It took some major head scratching to figure out what changed, what the parameters where, and what the hell was happening but I think I've got in narrowed down to some poor behavior on the part of BOTH Evolution AND MailScanner (or a component of MailScanner - not sure). It seems to have initially broken with an upgrade to MailScanner. I think upgrading to 4.47.4-2 or there abouts might have been the triggering event, but I don't remember what I was running on that server prior to that. Before then, all my signatures GPG signatures were good. After, they were bad. If I turn off MailScanner on my server, the signatures are good. I have accounts on several servers and the signatures are bad if I forward mail through one running a recent version of MailScanner. I just upgraded one of my servers to 4.50.5-12 and now I've got bad signatures through that server as well (I wasn't running MailScanner on that one before). But, that doesn't get Evolution off the hook. It's only happening for messages that I'm composing in Evolution! If I compose them in Mutt or vi a text file and send it, everything is fine. Also, my saved copies in the Evolution sent box is fine. Sooo... I compare what was saved in the "sent" box with what was received with a bad signature... What was the difference? Carriage Returns! Evolution is terminating lines with CR-LF when composing a message. MailScanner is removing the CR and leaving the LF. Apparently, Evolution called gpg in binary mode to create the signature. Modifying even the line termination then breaks the signature. No other mailer I use generates the DOS/Windows line termination, they all end lines with *NIX convention of LF only (no I haven't tried ThunderBird or KMail or other GUI client as yet). 1) Why must we be adding extraneous CR on text messages? Is this REALLY necessary? 2) Why is MailScanner reformating my messages and stripping the CR's? That's not merely appending a "scanned by". That's modifying the body of the messages itself. Now, maybe it's the way MailScanner is parsing and reassembling the Mime parts, I don't know there. But it should not do ANYTHING that's going to break a signature. That's verboden. 3) Why is GPG signing the message in text mode instead of binary mode? We can go round and round on the merits and demerits of that and get nowhere. Looking at my .muttrc file, Mutt uses "--textmode --clearsign" when generating PGP/Mime signed attachments or old style signed text message. If you think it should be signed in text mode, that still recurses back to an Evolution problem and the parameters that it's calling gpg with, so it's not a gpg problem. Unlike Mutt, I don't see any way to alter the gpg calling parameters in Evolution (ignoring the fact that it should just work out of the box). I would argue that BOTH packages are doing something wrong here. I don't think we should have this extra CR cruft on text but I don't think MailScanner should be stripping it off legitimate clean messages either. Maybe gpg should be clearsigning in text mode as well. All I know is that this combination does NOT work. Fixing any of the three points would fix the immediate breakage, but, maybe, we should fix all three points and really fix it, least it come back and bite us in the ass from another direction? Sooo... Can we have some discussion and comments about how to fix this thing so GPG signatures can work with this combination? Regards, Mike -- Michael H.

There is something else that's been staring me in the face here, all along. There's a difference in the Mime quoted printable encoding. I wasn't paying close enough attention to that, rather than the text it was encoding. On the messages that result in a "good signature" (saved in the "sent" mailbox) I looked closely at the lines and the encoding... What I see is something like this: --=20^M Michael H. Warfield (AI4NB) | (770) 985-6132 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now... Looking at the message which has passed through MailScanner, I see those same two lines as this: --=20=0A= Michael H. Warfield (AI4NB) | (770) 985-6132 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, in the former case, the Mime quoted printable has the CR's as real CR's (^M) and in the later case the quoted printable has the CR's as quoted printable CRs (=0A). Not good. So that's what's really causing the problem. It's the difference in encoding... The messages are identical other than that encoding difference. The signature is on the encoded Mime part. That's a more serious discrepancy than merely text vs binary. My bad for not looking closer at the Mime encoding itself and thinking it was just an issue with the text format itself. Which is correct? Obviously the signature was generated with the ^M in the encoded Mime part and won't match if it's encoded with =0A even though they should be equivalent from a quoted printable standpoint. If their both "correct", they have to, at least, agree in order to get the signature to verify. Obviously there IS a problem here with MailScanner re-encoding those parts. That's modifying that attachment and breaking the signature. Someone with MailScanner want to jump in on this? Ball's in your court now...

I see that Julian, on the MailScanner list, didn't post back to the Evolution list so I'll relay what he indicated to me along over to here... It appears to be a bug in the MIME-Tools package and both Julian and I now have messages into the maintainer. The current MIME-Tools package isn't generating a \r\n termination like it's suppose to (it's only generating a \n) and it's encoding the CR as =0A when it encounters it. :-( Sooo... It's off Evolutions plate after all.

[Evolution] Multi Calendar
Hi... I wonder if there is a way to support calendars other than gregorian. You know calendars like Hijri (most arabic countries) and jalali (Persian) are widely used all around the world. So it could be nice to make Evolution multi calendar. But I think this shouldn't be easy due to the data server's native single-calendar architucture (e-cal-time-util.c for example). Thanks. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
