[Evolution] Evo and mail notification in KDE taskbar
Hello, This is with Evo 2.24.5 (I know that there are newer versions :-)) and with KDE 3.5.10. When new (unread) mail is in Inbox, Evo is showing the correct number in Evo's entry in the taskbar, see in the centre of the screen shoot: http://www.unixarea.de/notify1.png where it reads "Inbox (2 unread, 25 total)"; sometimes it shows also a golden letter, see the far right of: http://www.unixarea.de/notify2.png Why this golden letter only comes up sometimes and not always when new mail arrives?

The notification area icon appears when new mail arrives and Evo doesn't have focus - as soon as you "acknowledge" the arrival of new mail by giving focus to Evo, the icon goes away. So it's a "new" mail icon rather than an "unread" mail icon. It doesn't appear if Evo has focus when the mail arrives.

Hi, I do not have access to an Outlook machine, but isn't there any other format to export your contacts from the Outlook? Evolution can import vCard files very easily, and I think that Outlook is also able to export your contacts in that format, but as I do not have access to the machine, I cannot tell for sure. (I'm just thinking aloud). Bye, Milan ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, actually, the icon goes away as soon as you "read" a mail (any mail, not only the new one). It's how it is working with 2.28. You can configure behavior of the notifications in a way of "notify me for new messages in Inbox only", thus receiving new messages in other than Inbox folders will not show the notification. This setup can be found in Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->tab "Configuration" or by right-clicking the notification icon in 2.28.x, but it's different in 2.24 for sure. There definitely isn't that right-clicking, and the option is probably buried somewhere under Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences, on some tab. It's possible that the above is not a case for you. Do you use Exchange? There was a bug report about not showing mail notifications for newly received messages on Exchange. I do not have much idea what happened with that bug report. I only noticed it quite long time ago. Bye, Milan ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I don't think that the fact that the icon does not appear, does not depend on having Evo the focus; most of the time Evo sits in another of my 4 desktops and I'm working on other stuff, i.e. Evo does not have the focus, and the icon is not showing up; > Hi, > actually, the icon goes away as soon as you "read" a mail (any mail, not > only the new one).

I must navigate to the actual new msg and click on it for the icon to go away.

(I'm just thinking aloud). > Bye, > Milan Hi Bryan, I had some luck with a combination of O2M ( a US$10 commercial bit of software ) and Outport, for moving my mail data from Outlook to Evolution at the end of 2008. Steps I followed are here: http://nickj.org/How_to_migrate_from_Outlook_2000_to_Evolution#Importing_your_Contacts_into_Evolution It wasn't perfect for contacts (e.g. from memory, some of the phone fields might have changed types? E.g. "business" might have become "primary" or vice-versa?). However it was workable, at least with my much smaller data set than yours! There's also a new PST importer plugin for Evolution, although I haven't personally tested it, so I don't know how it performs. > because of the issues I mentioned in the first email. I'd suggest logging a bug in bugzilla for any data import issues encountered if they are at the Evolution end. That way they are properly recorded and can be tested, worked on, resolved on, in a systematic manner. You're not the first person to want to migrate across, and I'm certain you won't be the last, so recording any issues to help make the process as painless as possible, and to ensure that there's equivalent functionality for needed features, is a good idea. -- All the best, Nick. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
