I'm no longer sure whether it is just the full text search. The message counts are also inconsistent: CTRL-A for "select all" in the affected folder shows "2167 selected, 71 total".

That protocol isn't tightly enough defined so each client/server pair acts slightly differently. I have tried to use IMAP on and off over the years but I always find that the implementations of different mixes of IMAP server and client are such that, for me at least, it's not a viable solution. It's *fine* if you only ever use one client and one server but otherwise it's still not quite there yet. I believe that SyncMl is in the same sort of place. You only have to look at the differences you found (and I did too) synchronizing a Nokia phone to Evolution via different servers - myFunambol, ScheduleWorld and a funambol installation of one's own.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution 2.26 released
Excellent work!!! But I have a simple question here.As u know, I have lots of e-mails. And it takes a lot of time compiling the souce code, maybe there will be some configuration issues. So, is there any simple way to upgrade 2.24.3 (ubuntu 8.10) to 2.26.0? Maybe there is a repository that can be added to apt source-list and simply use "sudo apt-get update". Any hint is mostly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

But Vfolders are still not fixed. Another major release and a major feature remains broken. When will Vfolders be fixed (i.e. no ugly "Unread Folder" checkbox hack and Vfolders of Vfolders, just for starters)?

[Evolution] Evolution/Gnome icons
Hi, I'm running Evolutoin on KDE 4.2.1 in OpenSUSE 11.1. Today I tried to change evolution button icons by changing gnome appearance settings through gnome-appearance-properties. I changed icons to oxygen and I was surprised with output. Evolution was looking too good. But after reboot, it reverted back to original. Does anyone know how to make this theme/icon settings permanent in Evolution?

Make sure gnome-settings-daemon is started when you log into KDE. The way it works is Evolution requests icons by some generic name and GTK+ supplies an icon for that generic name from what it thinks is the current icon theme. Appearance Preferences writes your icon theme and other settings to GConf. The problem is GTK+ is a low-level library and doesn't know about GConf. So gnome-settings-daemon serves as an intermediary, listening to GConf and forwarding desktop-wide settings to GTK+ so that GTK-based applications automatically honor those settings. It sounds like what may be happening is after login, GTK+ is using its own default icon theme because gnome-settings-daemon hasn't told GTK+ what icon theme you prefer. My guess is running Appearance Preferences probably spawns gnome-settings-daemon, which then supplies GTK+ with the correct icon theme. And then Evolution suddenly becomes pretty. Hope that makes sense.

Ubuntu never backports major releases like this to earlier versions. Heck, often they don't even update to newer service packs in the same release. With a six month release cycle they are focused on getting "the good stuff" into the _next_ release. That's both good and bad, but that's the way it is. However, it will definitely be in 9.04. Those of us who remember back to the very first days of Ubuntu will recall that one of its initial "claims to fame" was that it was scheduled to release just a few weeks after each Gnome release, and it would be one of the first major releases to include each new version of Gnome. Although that's not such a big selling point anymore with Ubuntu, it's still true. I may find a few minutes early next month to retool my Makefile for Evolution and add in support for MAPI (I _really_ need this), but right now I'm getting only a few hours of sleep most nights as it is due to "real work"--no time to spare. In fact, I should get back to it now :-). ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
