Fedora :: F11 - No Sound Notification For New Mail In Evolution
Aug 9, 2009
I have just upgraded to F11 (from F9) and most things work pretty well. I can't read DVDs or CDs but I see there is another thread open on that, and VMWare-player has a few problems but otherwise I an a reasonably happy camper. The "new mail notification" in Evolution won't play my sound. Other sound apps work OK (mplayer, amarok etc) and I can play the .wav file in question simply by hovering the mouse over it in Nautilus - so I know it's not a general sound problem (and besides - I have followed Silpheed2k's guide here). In the Evolution plugins dialogue the sound file is selected, but the test button doesn't play it and when new mail arrives the other notification methods (pop up message + blinking icon) work just fine. It worked in F9 with the same sound file.
Ubuntu 10.04. I want to change the startup sound and the mail alert sound (incoming mail) for Evolution Mail Client. I go to System > Preferences > Sound, and all I get are themes preset. I do not have option to browse to wav files. I also do not see a browse option in Email Settings. Do I have to change an actual file?
I am using: Code: Ubuntu 10.4 2.6.32-21-generic Evolution 2.83.3
I have noticed that when I get a new email, it never shows a new mail icon in the panel. I had the same problem with 9.10, and I thought the problem would go away when I upgraded to 10.4. I have checked the properties in Mail preferences: Code: Play sound - yes Display a notification - yes Indicate new messages in panel - yes
I have been using outlook for years and i like the agenda it has. but i m tired of windows so i want use linux everywhere , for now i use ubuntu only at home , but at office , windows xp.
So this is my problem when i have an appointment it should have more annoying alerts or some windows that will pop up al the time til i click on it. i dont want to forget anything. also when can i get pluggin to add or something? i could download any plugins from here and i dont know to to install them.
I have wiped Windows and am running 10.04 exclusively. 32 bit, when setting up evolution e mail account i dont see where to enter password....where is it? anyone have link with screenshots? i know i can use regular hotmail but want to know how to use default ubuntu programs.
I still can't find a spot for password. options are, login, set preferences and a remember password checkbox but nowhere to enter a password
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I currently have Evolution 2.24.5 on Fedora 10, but I'm not happy with Evolution. I can't update to 2.30.1. So, Is there a better mail program, ie Thunderbird or SeaMonkey?
I did install FC 11 without problems. The only thing I don't understand is the following.
Viewing some messages, the character apostrophe'is not displayed.Charset is "iso-8859-1" which is the default in my Evolution as well...
Subject:
=?iso-8859-1?Q?SURCOUF_:_Votre_commande_N=B0__6323352_-_Mise_=E0_disposit?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?ion_de_facture?= Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:14:24 +0200
[code]....
Checking the source of the message I can read at some place :
Le Sp=E9cialiste de l=92 Informatique=0A=
what is displayed without apostrophe as =92 is shown as a blank square (not printable character) On the other side I see the following source in same message :
t=E9l=E9charger directement et gratuitement sur le site de l'=E9diteur =0A=
what is displayed with the apostrophe: I don't know why the character apostrophe is sent as =92 This did not happen within FC 10 or the earlier Evolution
I use Evolution mail and use 2 PCs When I send mail it saves it to my current PC but not to the other PC so instead i want it to save the sent to the email server i'm using.
I have set up postfix and dovecot as per the Ubuntu anual and appear to have a functioning mail server.Using the sendmail command I can send mail and I receive mail in ~/Maildir. Using Thunderbird I can read any mails received but I can't send any mail from Thunderbird. I have tried with both STARTTLS and SSL/TLS and whilst I get the prompt for a password I keep getting the message my password for my server is wrong.I have ports 25, 465, 587 and 993. Is that all the right ports?When I ping my domain name it resolves to my router name whereas I believe it should resolve to my IP. Could there be a problem with my host file? I've had a play but to no avail.Here's the error in mail.log.
is it possible to import mail from older evolution client (GNOME evolution 2.28.3) to the evolution now running on fedora 15 ( Evolution 3.0.2)on the older client, there appears to be a .evolution folder off home directory and mail under that.However I dont see this hidden directory on fedora 15.Is there a way to transfer the mails?
After running Pine remotely to view some mail on the server, I can no longer access those emails remotely with Evolution or Outlook Express. I know the mail is still there on the server someplace, because it still appears in Pine's "INBOX" folder. But that is clearly not the same as the "Inbox" folder for that account which appears in Evolution and Outlook Express, which is now empty. How can I configure Evolution to re-access those emails?
Is there a way to get Evolution to check mail and chat with a standard Yahoo (or Hotmail for that fact) account, without having to pay for the plus service?
I have configured router(192.168.1.2) to serve only one machine with IP - '192.168.1.6' and set up SQUID proxy on '192.168.1.6'. I have defined some rules(ACL) regarding connections to internet on SQUID proxy.
I changed the Gateway of rest of machine (192.168.1.60 - 192.168.1.69) from '192.168.1.2' to '192.168.1.6'.
The policies which I defined in SQUID is working properly but 'Linux Evolution mail' client is not fetching mails.
Is I have to do any other settings on 'Linux System' or 'Evolution mail client'.
Running the Lynx and I have set up Evolution to download my Gmail e-mails but now I have a question.
When Evolution is running I get the notifications when e-mail come in and the little envelope at the top becomes "lit" to indicate I have new mail. What I want to know is how can I get notified without having the application "open", still having the notifications etc. but without having the application window open (like when you "close" Rhythmbox but it is still running at the top even though the windows is closed)?
Is it possible to remove evolution notification icon and stay only with volume control?I appreciate the effort made to integrate everything in 10.04, but it is not a really nice feature to me, since i do not like empathy and i hate evolution. I think ubuntu should put more effort in freedom and less effort in making people all obliged to use the same apps.
i have installed opensuse 11.3 on my PC. i want to display pop up message when new mail arrives. For that, i have installed mail-notification 5.4 ( which requires libnotify-0.4.4). while building mail-notification,it shows the following error . "src/mn-evolution-folder-tree-server.gob:26:33: fatal error: mail/mail-component.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. command failed."
I installed the "mail notification" applet from synaptic and I like it best because it monitors multiple email accounts, something I find hard to find. I do have one question though, how do I get it to start up with every gnome session?
I can't get rid of the "Mail Notification Properties" Window at startup. Every time the system comes up, there is the window for the settings. It's just empty as I don't want any more mail notifications than Thunderbird has.
I looked into the Mail Notification Properties and haven't found any settings to get rid of the window. And I disabled "Mail Notification" in System > Preferences.
Still this window keeps coming back over and over again.
It even survived the upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. How can I get rid of it?
I use the Gnome Mail Notification Applet and have recently moved from a wired desktop machine to a wireless laptop.
The problem I have is that the Mail Notification shows an error because it tries to check mail immediately, the network hasn't finished connecting at this time though.
Is there a way to add a delay to this? I can't see one.
Or if anyone can suggest an alternative that is just as good (or better) and allows for a delay?
anyone knows how to setting email reminder and privacy when sent email.
This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use by or information of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed. If you are not the intended recipient, you are notified that disclosing, copying, distributing or taking any action based on the contents of this information is strictly prohibited. If you have received this email in error or is not the intended recipient, please notify the sender by return email and delete this e-mail (together with any files transmitted with it) immediately. i want this reminder will automatically sent when user sent their email without need to write this reminder. means all email sent by user will display that reminder when email opened
I've been using mail-notification from the repos for ages to monitor my gmail account with no problems. Since I upgraded to Karmic, it's been popping up an irritating dialog window whenever a new mail arrives (as well as the standard notification). how to turn it off without losing all notifications?
I have mail-notification installed (using Lucid beta) but for some reason it doesn't send notifications using libnotify, but instead shows a standard gtk pop-up. I have the evolution plugin for mail-notification installed, and in fact the issue is not related to evolution, since I tried setting up mail-notification directly for an IMAP account and got the same ugly pop-up.
I've had Mail Notification installed for awhile, but was disappointed by the fact that it tries to check for e-mail before my computer can even establish an internet connection (and then never checks again), forcing me to manually start the program after every boot (an issue others have reported as well).
As a result, I removed the program via Ubuntu Software Center, and tried using cGmail (which I've used before, without issue), only to encounter a bug. I then uninstalled cGmail, and installed Mail Notification again. However, as soon as I started Mail Notification, I noticed that it still had all of my preferences, including my previous e-mail account, saved.
How is this possible? I tried removing it via Ubuntu Software Center, and then again with Synaptic---but still, if I reinstall it, the settings are all still there. I want to completely remove Mail Notification, and all of its settings (even if I decide to eventually install it again), but now am confused as to how to do this.
I have a gmail account. After I installed ubuntu 11.04 cannot use "mail notification" properly. the pop-up windows is like an error in the middle of the screen (instead of the classic and attractive window reside on the right-up screen).
I'm currently working with Nagios Core 3.2.2 and I'm trying to set up a mail notification.

I have 2 problems:
I'm getting mail that the PC is OK every 3 minutes.
And I don't know what I should config in Service and host .cfg. Sow that I will get a good description of the problem in the mail that Nagios is sending me.
Is there a way to disable the "New Mail" notification when we are logged in via ssh? It is causing some issues while we are working on stuff on our servers.
