Most people now have smart phones and use them to read mail. Using POP is a recipe for pain, if not now then in the future. There is nothing POP does that IMAP doesn't also do, whereas the reverse is not true. That said, each to his own.

He told you how to do it, just type the line into a terminal window. You're not doing it *before* starting Evo, you're doing it *in order to* start Evo (i.e. quit Evo before doing this). Not as root, just in your normal account. There's really nothing mysterious about this. It's a perfectly normal Shell command line.

Any email marked as 'not new' by a client other than evo will result in that email not being routed through evo's filters when it's fetched by evo. evo only automatically passes mail that is marked as 'new' by the server through it's filters. you can highlight a group of emails and CTRL-Y to force them through the filters. but you then run the potential risk of having multiple copies of particular emails in the archive folder. 1) a manual workaround for this *could* be. this is essentially the same as, at the start of each month, highlight last months emails and copy them to archive create a filter to copy email to your archive folder. verify that it works. unselect it in the filters configuration so that it's not active. on the first of each month ( or whatever regular schedule ) activate the filter. highlight all the email for the previous month and CTRL-Y. verify that that months email is now in archive. deactivate filter. Be aware that if evo fetches new email during this process it will automatically be archived ( but thats a small window and shouldn't be much email if it occurs, and when you verify that last months email has been archived, you can remove any current month emails from the archive -- as they'll get archived when you run through this process at the start of the next month) 2) not sure if your version of evo has the remove duplicates functionality. if it does. and if an active filtered copy of an email and a CTRL-Y filtered copy of an email will be seen as duplicates, then you can leave the filter active and any *new* email will be auto archived. on the first of the month or some regular basis, you can select all of the last months email and CTRL-Y it. Then you can select all of last months archived emails and 'remove duplicates' to get to one copy of each in the archives ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] How to easily archive imap email
grabbed from the web... some options.. others are likely available Mailbox synchronization Use imapsync to copy the messages. It requires that you install Perl. See this web page for a writeup with screen shots. Use MailSync . It is designed for a Unix/Linux like operating system though you may be able to run it under Windows if you also install cygwin. Its written in C so you don't need to install an interpreter such as Perl or Python. Use offlineimap . It is designed for a Unix/Linux like operating system though "With some fiddling, it reportedly ran under Windows as well". isync. Its also known as mbsync. Not to be confused with Apple's iSync program for mobile phones. It supports IMAP and Maildir mailboxes. [edit] IMAP backup Use a Python script such as Imap Backup Tool to backup the folders as mbox, mbox.gz, or mbox.bz2 files. It supports incremental copying from any/all folders. It doesn't backup IMAP flags (tags). IMAPSave is another one. It only stores the messages in mbox files and does not do incremental backups. Both of these programs only do backup, but you could use the ImportExportTools add-on to import the mbox files. imap2maildir is a Python script [1] to backup a IMAP mailbox to maildir files. If you are using Linux or OS X you could use fetchmail and procmail to backup a IMAP mailbox to mbox or maildir files. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Undo does not work on Evolution 3.18 on Ubuntu 15.10
Hi. Undo does not work. For example: I have just used the Paste as Quotation feature. When hitting Ctrl+z to undo it, Evolution instead erased all the contents of the email. This is frequent. Many times Evolution has erased content (though usually not the entire email) when I hit Ctrl+z. This is evolution 3.18.2-0ubuntu1~wily1 from the gnome3-staging PPA. The machine runs Ubuntu 15.10 with a few PPAs, including gnome3 and gnome3-staging.

Re: [Evolution] Using Evolution with Exchange
You are correct: I had a 'jessie' repository mixed in with all 'stretch' ones. My system is actually on stretch, and my Evolution is v3.18.2. When I removed the jessie repository, Synaptics showed me no evolution-ews at all, consistent with what you suggested.

[Please don't top-post on the list] The problem with drag-and-drop (not just in Evo) is that it's fine as long as everything works, i.e. you don't drop network connectivity, there is enough space on the target drive, Evo or your system doesn't crash etc. etc. Clearly your chances of success go down as the total amount to be moved goes up. That's why I recommend something like imapsync, which allows you to continue from where you left off if something bad happens. Having said all that, it's hard to know what specifically went wrong in your case, but it's quite likely that your mail is still hanging around "somewhere". As a first step, I would suggest quitting and restarting Evo to see if it resyncs. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Re: [Evolution] Issues with labels and flags
OK, I've included the debugging output below. It's pretty long, but lots of
FLAG entries. What I did was run Evolution per the debug instructions (at
bottom). On my IMAP server, there are 3 messaged previously flagged in
Thunderbird and whose Maildir filename has the flag letter appended. These show
with the same colors in Evolution.
I then 'labeled' another message in Evolution as 'Work' (orange). This shows
orange in Evolution, but does not show in Thunderbird and the Maildir file is
not flagged. The debug output below should show this labeling -- which I think
it does with various $Labelwork entries.
But, I think it's clear: Evolution will show Maildir flags, but does not set
them (at least I don't know how). Evolution's labels are internal and not the
same as Maildir flags. Setting Evolution Lables does not set the flag field of
the Maildir format email files.
I did upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 and Evolution 3.16.5 -- which is how this test was
run.
So, is there a way to utilize the Maildir flag scheme in Evolution or is this
simply not supported?
