I have a query about the functionality of Evolution as a mail
package. Does Evolution support the tagging of outgoing mails
as "organisation-sensitive" and hence generate the appropriate mail
headers, and conversely, when an email comes in with mail headers
specifying a sensitivity level does Evolution tag the mail
appropriately?
Do you have an example of an email client that supports
automatically tagging outgoing email? Thunderbird can certainly tag
incoming emails according to headers.
Thunderbird does not have any support for mail headers tagging
sensitivity levels, nor does it provide the ability to actually tag a
mail as sensitive. I've seen an article on the net that was saying a
request for that functionality has been outstanding for, I think it
said, 12 years.
What does that even mean? What effect would "tagging a sensitivity
level" have? You didn't answer my first question. Do you have an
example of an email client that does what you want?
Outlook does have the ability to tag emails as confidential or private,
which it does by inserting mail headers into the existing mail headers.
The environment I program in has the ability to send emails tagged as
confidential or private and it does the flagging the same way as outlook
does, and that environment can perform that functionality under both
windows and linux. I was trying to check if Evolution can do the same
thing because I am trying to investigate a defect in the environment
where I work.
Does Evolution, when setting up the mail interface, provide
the functionality to auto configure the mail server definitions or
do you have to set them up manually?
Does your domain have that configured?
When I was using the email address provided by my isp, and using a
gmail address, both environments provide Thunderbird with the ability
to auto define the mail servers irrespective of whether you want to
use IMAP or POP3.
Ok, but you're referring to some other environment. gmail and your
ISP probably have the automatic config information available. But
does your environment?
That depends on what you mean by "my environment". Thunderbird running
locally on my machine will auto configure the mail servers when I supply
the email address for the account I want to define in Thunderbird, so I
was querying if Evolution can do the same thing? regards, Steve--
