[Evolution] Evo 2.8, new IMAP code & new vertical split-view
Hi, I have installed Evo 2.8 on my desktop and laptop (debian & ubuntu) since a few days, and I have a quick comments to do: - on the desktop (big 24" screen) the vertical split-view is really better. I don't use the 2-lines-per-message presentation, but otherwise this (long-awaited) change is really welcome. - on the laptop, the IMAP code has never been particularly good but in 2.6 it was really awful to the point of being unusable: Evo was constantly refreshing its IMAP folders. In 2.8 it works well and I'm not forced to use the webmail anymore. There are still little weirdnesses in 2.8 (e.g. no more selected message after pressing DEL) but overall I like it. Thanks a lot guys ! Xav ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

What are the points to tweak for it in Linux (SUSE 10.1)? Is there also a bogofilter patch for Evolution 2.6.0 (SUSE 10.1)? Can more than one spam filter be used in conjunction to one another; what the one does not get another may. How are updates done for bogofilter under YaST, and is there some central database of other junk mails found by filters that can be incorporated into my filter? Are there other alternatives to spamassassin and bogofilter, that work similarly to a virus scanner that gets updated for recognised mails by other users? Such a system was started by Cloudmark, which used to be free but went commercial. :-) Al ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] How to shrink mbox ?
Hello, my Inbox (Display) usually contains less than 50 emails, but the mbox file contains ~5000 emails. The Properties on the Inbox says the same. How could I force evolution to remove all emails not displayed from the mbox ? A simple ctrl-e is obviously not the answer ...

[Evolution] No Beep, No Copy
I am using Evo 2.6.0 with SLED 10 and I have more tweaks in this supposed stable version than the Open SuSE 10.1 version. 1. The beep on new mail does not function 2. moving to play this sound on arrival does not work - except when I move the mail from the inbox to a folder on some computers 3. If I send mail and almost immediately shut down the program crashes. 4. highlight, copy and paste into a new window does not work I am running Evolution 2.6.0 on HP Pavilion a822n's, Acer Ferrari 4000's and a couple of Toshiba laptops. These failure modes are consistent across all the network. John ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

What are the points to tweak for it in Linux (SUSE 10.1)? Unfortunately, because of the way that junk filters are built for evo, the only option right now is to patch the source and build from source. > Is there also a bogofilter patch for Evolution 2.6.0 (SUSE 10.1)? Gentoo has one: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/evolution-2.5.5.1-bf-junk.tar.bz2 I don't actually use Suse. > Can > more than one spam filter be used in conjunction to one another; what > the one does not get another may.

No, bogofilter keeps a wordlist for each account. It learns the same way spamassassin does, by clicking junk and not-junk. > Are there other alternatives to spamassassin and bogofilter, that work > similarly to a virus scanner that gets updated for recognised mails by > other users? Such a system was started by Cloudmark, which used to be > free but went commercial. There are tons of spam filters, but all work like either bogofilter or spamassassin, as far as I know. I'm not aware of any other junk plugins for evo.
