Re: [Evolution] Own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009
I only asked because I tried xfce at his suggestion and found that I needed to run a gnome app to get any work done. That being the case, I figured I may as well be running gnome right up front. My theory was that doing anything serious in xfce was more resource intensive than just running gnome, because you were running the gnome libs ON TOP of the xfce libs. He doesn't NEED to run a low resource desktop either, but says he prefers to. I don't think he really is.

Re: [Evolution] Own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009
Perhaps true. I prefer the KDE interface, but at work I use gnome solely for running evo for exchange and tsclient for administering windows servers. I have the luxury of just using a separate computer connected to a kvm to run kde. While I installed evo at home, for work email, it is easier to just pull out this blackberry. I'd really like a summer of code project to port evo to the blackberry ;-) That, or support the GAL outside the firewall the way OWA and BES do... -- Art Alexion MIS/Central Office Support Resources for Human Development - Original Message - From: evolution-list-boun...@gnome.org To: evolution-list@gnome.org Sent: Sat Mar 28 08:22:50 2009 Subject: Re: [Evolution] Own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009 On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 08:01:11AM -0400, Art Alexion wrote: > - Original Message - > From: evolution-list-boun...@gnome.org > To: evolution-list@gnome.org > Sent: Sat Mar 28 06:04:56 2009 > Subject: Re: [Evolution] Own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009 > > On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 04:41:23PM +, Art Alexion wrote: > > On Fri, 2009-03-27 at 09:17 -0400, Chris G wrote: > > > Yes, so do I!

Re: [Evolution] Errors When Viewing Mail
Steven, I've been there too. 1) upgrade -- 2.24.x is fixed or (I'm assuming you're in the in-box with view selected as unread) 2) use v-folder (search folder) with folder view = 'view all'. Search filter is "all unread" or 3) turn off "mark as read after N seconds" in mail pref's. , & use Ctl-K to mark as read Pretty much what's hat's happening is the fie is being auto-marked read just after it opens and you selected 'view unread' for the folder, so it goes away.
