[Evolution] Comparison of Evolution to Thunderbird
Hi Guys, I'm afraid I've just jumped ship on my main LapTop to Thunderbird. Evolution is though still on a number of my other devices. The primary reason is that I am getting a fair number of messages in French and my French is not good. Up until now, I have been copy'n'pasting the messages into translate.google.com - which is a bit clumsy and means changing screens - etc. Now, I highlight the French Text and click translate. This saves me time. Another nifty feature I've discovered is that the Filters allow one not just to put messages into Folders (looking for the List-ID was a pain - Thunderbird does not inherently seem to know what a Mailing List is) but automatically forwarding some "filtered" messages to others - very useful feature. These could both be useful additions to Evolution. -- Mark James ELKINS - Posix Systems - (South) Africa m...@posix.co.za Tel: +27.128070590 Cell: +27.826010496 For fast, reliable, low cost Internet in ZA: https://ftth.posix.co.za smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

This saves me time. Sounds like a bug in your installation, but since you don't mention your version of Evolution nor the distro you're using, there's nothing anyone can do about it. > Another nifty feature I've discovered is that the Filters allow one > not just to put messages into Folders (looking for the List-ID was a > pain - Thunderbird does not inherently seem to know what a Mailing > List is) but automatically forwarding some "filtered" messages to > others - very useful feature. I don't understand. Feel free to elaborate, preferably as a Request For Enhancement to Bugzilla (remembering to copy the ID here in case anyone else wants to comment). 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

This saves me time. Perhaps the filter option "Pipe to Program" or the plugin "External Editor" could help to use a script similar to http://hackerspace.kinja.com/highlight-and-google-translate-any-text-in-linux-1648824665 [1] , not necessarily by using a notification thingy. Perhaps an external editor already provides it, so you even might not need a script. I suspect nearly all Linux MUAs, if not all, allow to use, resp. include external programs or scripts. Regarding this I'm not familiar with Evolution. However, at least Claws and Evolution provide it, but I can't explain what exactly you need to do.

PS: You seemingly don't need to include something to Evolution or any other MUA, just using the x clipboard features is all you need. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I see I had misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about Evo's own messages (errors etc.) rather than the contents of emails. It's still important to state your version of Evolution when asking questions about it (Help->About). 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
[Evolution] Interesting behavior
Hey all, So I've already solved this, but thought I'd put it out here to those that may see this in the future. First off, this is on Evolution 3.10.4, Ubuntu 14.04. Evolution continues to run solid for me with no issues. This connects to my email account using pop3. I recently swapped the server running these services out from 32 bit, to 64 bit, but the exact same operating systems versions and exact same configurations. This is where it gets weird...after running for about 30 minutes I noticed that emails were coming in and Evolution was receiving them via pop3, but the emails were old and on old threads and marked as unread. Using imap however these same emails were not only not old, but completely different threads. After doing a number of checks (and deleting /var/mail/account) I created a second pop3 account with the exact same information but the name in Evolution and then I started seeing the emails come through correctly again. I have no idea why, but there it is...it seemed that my current pop3 account got"stuck". Anyway for those that might see this behavior that's what fixed it for me.
