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?
I'm not speaking for Stephen... But Microsoft supports sensitivity
levels in Office 365. See
<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/apply-sensitivity-labels-to-your-files-2f96e7cd-d5a4-403b-8bd7-4cc636bae0f9>.
For general email, I believe you can use the Sensitivity: email header
from RFC 1327. Or maybe use an X-header.
The BNF for RFC 1327 Sensitivity: is kind of lame:
sensitivity = "Personal" / "Private" /
"Company-Confidential"
So I would expect to see modern mail user agents use the X-headers to
express finer grain classification.
Outlook in Office 365 uses the above tags for sensitivity and the
environment I programme in does as well, although it uses "none" /
"Private" / "Confidential" / "Company-Confidential" (which is what
Outlook uses for "Confidential") although that environment says that
"Confidential" and "Company-Confidential" are the same thing and I
thought it was quoting a different RFC for compatibility with in
supplying "Company-Confidential", and like Outlook if "Confidential" is
specified it replaces that with "Company-Confidential". regards, Steve
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?
