Re: [Evolution] Storing messages
Thank you all for suggestions, I have tried out maildir as well now and this seems to be the way to go. I assume then that I can attach/detach the this "archive" as needed. Is it okay to just movew the whole folder to my NAS? I do see that it creates a lot of hidden files and folders on my HD. Any obstacles, permissions or other issues to be aware of when moving the whole set of folders? as a side note, I never send anything from this archive (if so then only to myself) but a couple of times a year I might be seraching or copying something from old cases in the archive. Maybe email should be optional or be on the same page as choosing the account. (At least to me it would have been more clear that I had all these options (mbox, maildir etc) to start with) -- Best Regards Tor Harald Thorland Mobil: 93032572 -Opprinnelig melding- Fra: Milan Crha via evolution-list Svar-til: Milan Crha Til: evolution-list@gnome.org Emne: Re: [Evolution] Storing messages Dato: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 12:21:58 +0100 On Thu, 2021-03-18 at 10:30 +0100, Tor Harald Thorland via evolution- list wrote: > with about 100GB of email which i very seldom need - but sometimes - Hi, you might be better with Maildir, than with MBOX/Spool, especially when it's such large archive. That lets you copy folder structure as well (only Spool directory can work with the directory). With respect of the email need, I think it's logic, to identify yourself/account, even it's more important for the sending part (which you might have set to None for this account), than for the receiving part. Still it's used to recognize you in the recipients, which is important in replies and such.

[Evolution] Signature not appended
I have a small script to invoke fortune, which I am attempting to use to append a signature to my emails. The script: $ cat ~/bin/mySignature #!/bin/bash echo "-- " echo "Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan " echo "" /home/jonrysh/bin/myFortune echo "" I have set up a signature in evolution->edit->preferences->Composer Preferences->Signature to invoke this script. When I select the script by selecting "mySignature" in the choice box, typical output shows up in the preview box, e.g.: -- Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams. However no signature is ever appended. Am I setting things up wrong, or is this a bug? System setup: Evolution version 3.38.4 (3.38.4-1.fc33) KDE Frameworks 5.79.0 Fedora Linux 33 Thanks - jon ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Am I setting things up wrong, > or is this a bug? The signature script works by adding it when you open the composer (or when changing the signature). What happens when you open a new email? Does it work if in the composer window you choose your script in the Signature dropdown? You may need to set it as the default signature.

This looks like a problem of the Cc field not getting selected (the body stayed selected, or got the selection after clicking Cc). Albeit using a newer version, I am unable to reproduce it as well. I found a similar case, though. If in the Edit menu instead of Paste you had selected the next entry, Paste Quotation, that will paste into the body even if the focus was in the headers. It somewhat makes sense, as you can't Paste Quotation into a header, but I feel that's a minor bug in that it shouldn't have been enabled. Maybe that could have been what you did? Additionally, does it work from the contextual menu? The edit menu should work nonetheless, but I don't think it's too efficient to click the field, then go to the Edit menu and choose Paste, when you could have done a right click and Paste instead (or Ctrl-V). Middle-click is a bit different, pasting the last selection at the clicked point, so it may not always be desirable.
