[Evolution] Evo 2.6 - adding a 'move' icon
Hello, I have just installed Fedora Core 5, which includes Evolution 2.6.0. One of the things I have noticed (from FC4, not sure what the version of Evolution was) is that there is no 'Move' (or 'Copy') icon in the toolbar. There used to be as I regularly used it. I can see the 'Move to folder' option under the 'Message' drop-down menu, but would prefer an icon. Does anyone know how I can add the icon back? I can see no configuration option to allow the toolbar to be modified. Thanks, John. -- --- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +44 (0)1752 233839 ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Evolution died - need help
Ron > Any error messages when you run evo from an xterm window? No messages, it just dies. Curiously, evolution now is working. I haven't touched the computer in 3 days, so I'm baffled. Also, you asked earlier about my glibc version. I followed your suggestion, and executed the command apt-cache policy libc6; the result was libc6: Installed: 2.3.5-1ubuntu12 Candidate: 2.3.5-1ubuntu12 Version table: *** 2.3.5-1ubuntu12 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Steve -- Steven P.

[Evolution] Using an exchange calender within a public folder?
I'm trying to get to a calendar that's kept within a "public" folder on an Exchange server. In the previous version of the exchange connector, one would go to the "Exchange" tab, expand the folder tree until you got to the calendar, add the calendar to "favorites", after which in the calendar window the extra calendar would show up under the account associated with the exchange server. There used to be a glitch in which the first two times you attempted to do the "add to favorites", you'd get "permission denied", but then it would work on the third attempt, yet it did work. With 2.6, the "Exchange" tab is now gone. The window in which one subscribes to exchange public folders shows only a list of the top public folders and does not allow one to see sub-folders such as the one in which this calendar resides. Is there a way in 2.6 to get access to this calendar? OS: Fedora Core 5. Pointers to documentation gratefully received. The go-evolution.org site is not being served by mydyndns.org at the moment, so I haven't been able to explore the wiki. If there is a separate site for the exchange connector, I'd be happy to know of it. Thanks, - Stephen P.

[Evolution] Inbox too large
Evolution has stopped being able to receive new emails. When I try to fetch new mail (pop3), I receive this error message: "Error while Feching Mail.

Re: [Evolution] Inbox too large
Can you create new folders and move old messages there? It's better to have things organized by topic, but that is labor intensive. Because I haven't got time, I've got folders named "2003", "2004", "2005". - Stephen On Mon, 2006-03-27 at 16:26 -0600, Mark Pinto wrote: > Evolution has stopped being able to receive new emails.

This sounds like a filesystem issue. You're most likely storing your mbox file on a FAT32 or an older ext2 filesystem. While you could probably fix this by moving the mbox to a different filesystem, what you really SHOULD do is cut down on how much stuff you have in that mbox. Having a 2GB+ mbox file means that EVERY time you go to open up your mail reader, it has to open a 2 GB file and read every single line in it to get the list of emails. This is EXTREMELY inefficient. You should either switch to a file-per-email system (ala maildir) or use different folders as suggested by another poster. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!

Re: [Evolution] Inbox too large
The filesystem is XFS, so that's certainly not a problem. I created yearly folders under "On This Computer" and moved them from Inbox, but somehow the size of the file did not shrink.

This is compounded by the fact that XFS support probably indicates a later version as well. However, history around this list has taught me to NEVER take anything for granted. I can't believe how old some of the stuff is that we hear about on this list (e.g., VERY old RedHat Linux installs, very old versions of Evo, old kernels, etc.). Therefore, I decided to at least ask the question, given the somewhat strange/rare circumstances of the error. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I believe XFS was actually added to the kernel AFTER LFS support anyway, so, as Ron said, the OP is almost certainly using an LFS kernel. I'd imagine that Evolution might have some sort of an internal limit on handling mbox files, though I'm not nearly well acquainted enough with Evolution's inner workings to be certain of that. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!

Re: [Evolution] Inbox too large
Kernel 2.6.8. glibc 2.3.6. I'm convinced that it's an evolution issue (2.4, but I tested and have the same problem on 2.6), as I have 2+G files on this computer that are handled fine.

To move mails, you can drag-and-drop. So the icon was not considered useful.
