[Evolution] Evolution Express

2011-05-25 Thread Chris
Hello,

I have just discovered the Evolution Express interface for my netbook
and I much prefer it to the standard Evolution interface. However I am
having a few problems with it, firstly I am starting Evolution from the
command line at the moment with the --express option, is there any way
to avoid this? This also affects calender access from the Gnome Shell
calender drop down. Clicking open calender when Evolution is not running
opens the normal (not express) interface.

Also, is there a way of getting mail to be sorted by date with the latest 
at the top, not the bottom? The other inconvenience on a small screen is the 
Attachments bar (or status bar, from which you open the attachments bar), 
at the bottom of the screen, is there any way to make it hide or disappear 
completely? 

Thanks,

Chris

[Evolution] POP3 stopped working after upgrade to 3.0

2011-05-25 Thread Daye Liu
After upgrading to 3.0 (when Fedora upgraded from F14 to F15), Evolution
seems to have a break down with varies symptoms.  Most severe one is
that it stopped receiving POP3 email once opened.

It still checks and received POP3 email when started the first time.
But then when click on the the 'Send/Receive' button, or at scheduled
receiving time, the pop-up window flashes by, but nothing is actually
received ever since.  If close the application and reopen it, then it
can check and receive for once.

This was not observed before.

Deleting only one individual email that is located in the Trash is not
doable.

However, it *might* be possible as folders are expunged on a per-folder
basis, and if that individual email is the only email marked for
deletion in its folder, you could expunge that folder.

To see in which folder an email that is marked for deletion you can add
the column "Location" to the (virtual) Trash folder by right-clicking on
the column headers in the mail list.

You can't - the IMAP operation (which is the model that Evo uses) is
"purge folder of deleted mails" - there is no operation that purges
single messages.

If it's in trash, it's been deleted, therefore you don't want it
anymore.  So what does it matter if the whole thing is purged?

I've come across this method of working before and I've never really
understood the brain processes behind it. Delete means delete, not hide
this message because I don't want to see it anymore, but I might
possibly need it again someday.

You do realise that "delete" doesn't actually move the message to the
trash?  It just marks it as deleted in the original folder.  I suggest
that you go to the View menu and select "Show Deleted Messages".

If you want to get around all this, I suggest you create a new folder,
go into Trash, select everything and copy it to that folder.  After this
you will now see two copies of everything in the Trash folder - that is
normal.  Go into the folder you just created, all the messages will be
there, but deleted (make sure you have turned on "Show Deleted
Messages") - select all messages, right click and select Undelete.  Now
going back to Trash you will see there is only one copy there now of
each message.  You can now empty the trash and you will still have a
copy of all your messages that you deleted, but didn't really want to
delete. Select the message you want to really, really get rid of in the
new folder, delete it, and the purge it (Ctrl-E).

I strongly suggest that you stop using the Trash as a filing system.

Highly depends on how you start "normal" Evolution. In general: Yes,
there are other ways to run applications. ;)

That might be trickier. :)

assuming that express mode also has column headers.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4315 provides such a method, actually.
Although Evolution doesn't use it and I can't think of a sane way to
expose it in the UI.

The rest of your response is spot-on. The virtual 'Trash' folder is just
a confusing misrepresentation of what's actually happening, and leads to
this kind of confusion on the part of users.

I run it by clicking on the icon in my Gnome Shell favourite's menu, I
have now edited this to launch Evolution in the express mode. But really 
Evolution should detect it cant run on my screen and switch to run is express
mode.

Thanks for the link, right clicking on the column headers worked perfectly.
