Software :: Evolution Won't Use 'evolution' Directory
Nov 29, 2010
I moved all my files in my home directory to a new computer. This old machine is Ubuntu 9.10 and the new one is Ubuntu 10.10. These files included my original ".evolution" directory. But on the new computer, when I run Evolution, it seems to ignore or not understand this directory, and wants me to set up all new accounts. There is a lot of email saved locally in that ".evolution" directory I need to keep. How can I get this newer version of Evolution to use those old files?

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 had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0. OS version: Linux xxx2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Mar 3 04:57:21 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm sure my network is fine, I use pop3 to receive email.
nslookup result:
$ nslookup pop3.163.com
Server:221.6.96.178
Address:221.6.96.178#53
Non-authoritative answer:
pop3.163.comcanonical name = pop.163.com.

I have been using Fedora 14, which has Evolution 2.32.1 but have recently also installed openSUSE 11.3, which has Evolution 2.30.1.2. I would like to make openSUSE my primary distribution, and so I would like to restore my Evolution settings from Fedora, but Evolution complains that the backup file is invalid. I have tried copying the folders in the backup to their appropriate locations in openSUSE with no luck. I have also tried manually copying with instructions for older versions of openSUSE, but with no luck.
An obvious guess at what might be the problem seems to be that I am trying to restore settings from a newer version to an older version? An obvious thing to try would be to upgrade to Evolution 2.32, but Evolution has a long list of dependencies so before jumping into that fun I thought I would ask if anyone else has had similar problems and found a straight-forward solution. I still have access to my emails in Fedora so this is not hugely pressing, and if upgrading to 11.4 will do the trick then I can just wait for that.

i tried to update my evolution from 2.30.? to 2.32.1 usning
ppa
ppa:julenlanda/evolution
Because the exchange plugin didn't work i uninstalled evolution and removed the ppa. Now when i try to install evolution from the software centre i get this: Package dependencies cannot be resolved This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
it asks me if I want to repair the catalog, i say yes.

I really like the evolution program and it seems to install just fine on the gnome version of openSuse 11.2 but if I install on KDE it's missing some icon files and I have to copy them from /usr/share/icons/gnome/NNxNN/actions/[filename].png to /usr/share/icons/oxygen/NNxNN/actions/[filename].png. The icon that staands out missing as soon as it's installed is th eone for send/receive email. it's file name is mail-send-receive.png
What I have to do is:install evolution and observe that the icon image is busted because the icon file isn't where it's supposed to be.
hand copy the files from /gnome to /oxygen (this doesn't fix it)
uninstall evolution
reinstall evolution
now the busted icon for send/receive mail is all better.How do I get this info to the folks that maintain evolution so they can add the missing icons to the install?

i finally tried to use a mail client other than gmail, and can't figure out how to Bcc someone. Evolution has a CC field, but i don't see how to make a Bcc field. Thunderbird doesn't show either one. Anyone know how to do this? Btw, it took me about 2 or 4 minutes to setup Evolution, but Thunderbird just asked for my email and password, and set itself up in seconds! I guess that i will be using Thunderbird, since it seems that they're not messing around.in thunderbird, once you already have an email address in the "To" field, you can click the "To:" label, and it opens a drop down menu, and then you can select Bcc.

This is odd - I just installed Fedora 13 onto a clean disk, but I restored some folders from backup to my home directory.
Afterwards I noticed that double clicking on a date on the calendar does not open evolution's calendar. I uninstalled evolution* , removed .evolution folder, and re-installed the 3 pieces.
Still nothing.. I double click a date, it does not pop up.
I see that it's running tho..
# ps ax|grep evo
2240 ? S 0:00 evolution-alarm-notify
21839 ? Sl 0:00 evolution calendar:///?startdate=20100613T210000Z
how to debug and or fix this? PS - nothing in /var/log/messages
Hmm when I click on a date, I see this in .xsession-errors:
(nautilus:18928): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info: The specified location is not supported
(nautilus:18928): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info: The specified location is not supported

I have Fedora 10. Does Fedora 10 include KDE? If so, I do I use KDE? I would like to use Kmail instead of Evolution.

I use Evolution Mail Client everyday on my fedora machine. It has become indispensable somewhat. I am wondering if Evolution can be made to run in the background without the GUI, so it can check mails (IMAP/POP) and post delivery reminders through notify-send. I don't mean evolution-notify-alarm ... I know evolution-notify-alarm runs like that but I think that is limited to calender events and tasks (using data mostly stored locally)
I find that I get notified via notify-send interface only when Evolution GUI is on or minimized. Is there a way to get a real background version of this activity - the GUI can then appear when the Panel Icon is clicked

Last week I performed an update on my laptop running Fedora 14 with "yum update".
The first problem was that while updating, my machine was frozen and after a had reboot I got a kernel panic (#$%*) After adding the new kernel manually that was fixed but after rebooting, I couldn't start my mailer (Evolution) any more.
When I start evolution while running KDE I get this message (tail var/log/messages):
Feb 21 18:03:10 BEL001 NetworkManager[1418]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: completed -> group handshake
Feb 21 18:03:10 BEL001 NetworkManager[1418]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: group handshake -> completed
[Code]....
How can I get evolution back to work again on my machine?
PS.After rebooting the login screen has changed and now I can't change anymore to using gnome. It only gives the options to login to KDE or 'custom'. How can I change custom to Gnome?

I'm using SeaMonkey as my mail client, and have never set up Evolution, so when Update Manager keeps offering me Evolution updates, I've been unchecking and ignoring them.
But I suspect there might be some common files in the Evolution package that other mail clients or other Gnome features depend upon.Could I totally remove Evolution software in order to stop me being bombarded with updates to Evolution, or are there dependencies I should be aware of before doing that?

I've seen all the threads on this topic, and none that answer the question. How exactly do you set Evolution to scan incoming emails with KlamAV via the program pipe?

I started up Amarok and an Amarok icon appeared beside my email icon. After I was finished with Amarok, I removed it from my panel. Unfortunately, my email icon and my volume icon have both disappeared. When I use add to panel, evolution is not there. Where is it?I solved it. All I had to do was to right click on the top panel, choose add to panel and then choose

I was able to connect my Evolution to our Exchange Server 2003.I'm able to get my mail and calendar.When I add a second email account, I can get the mail, but if I try to show the calendar for the second email account, it only duplicates the entries from the original account and doesn't show anything that is on the second account's calendar.

I had to reload from 10.4 to 10.10. On 10.4 I had no problems with the email. Now with 10.10 I cannot get it set up. I use att/yahoo and I set up my pop 3 and stmp setting correct. It will save them but I cannot secure the one with ssh and there is no where in the wizard to store you password. In turn i cannot get my email thru evolution. And the send/recieve button is not highlighted at all. I dumped evolution and then reloaded it but still have the same issue.

Why are we forced to keep evolution components!? I tried to remove them and ended up losing gnome-applets and a host of other things. This is ridiculous. I liken it to IE being tied into Windows.

Ive been running 11.04 and �unity� Desktop a few months now, and now I�d like to choose a good email client. I want something that will handle my Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail accounts as well as my old POP accounts. I want something that�s easy to hookup to all those old accounts and allow me to move emails between mailboxes (I have a few mailboxes and some of them have rules about auto-directing emails into them). I used T�Bird a few years/releases ago and it was fine for POP/SMTP, but I never got the Webmail hookups to work. Which is best? Thunderbird or Evolution?

I need to install a Linux distribution at work and I'd like to give Debian a try (I've been using Gentoo for years at home). But as it's a Windows environment, I'm currently trying to see how Debian could cope with that, meaning how to register to LDAP (I found this: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/battista/do ... index.html), get mails from MS Exchange, I saw that for other distributions, they were talking about evolution-mapi to achieve the mail retrieval from MS Exchange, but I saw that the package is not part of Debian Squeeze.Did I see correctly (sorry, Debian noob here )?Is there an alternative?
