Software :: Saving Passwords With Evolution ?
Aug 7, 2010
I am working diligently to shed the Microsoft mantle and email is the last holdout. I found Evolution and like everything about it except that it apparently deletes my password whenever it encounters a server "error." I have a requirement to have email download to several machines so the issue seems to be when another machine is accessing the server to download new mail. The server (pop3) reports that the server is "busy" then Evolution deletes my "saved password(s).

So I've set up a Samba server through the gui. When I've labeled my shares as accessible to everyone, I can get to it no problem. However, when I tie it down to a specific samba user, I can't.
By all indications, it appears that it isn't saving the password because every time I go to edit users, it has the exact same string in the password field.

Im my office everyone uses Windows but I use Ubuntu (and I love it) for interaction with windows only apps I use a windows VM in virtual box but I use evolution for my emails as I think it runs far better than outlook could ever dream of running.
From time to time we have to save emails for proof of orders etc. As most of you may well know outlook saves emails in .msg format but evolution saves them in .mbox format. At the moment I am saving them in .txt so the windows users can read them in notepad. I really need to be able to save in .msg format though to ensure all the formatting remains and the other guys in the office can open them in outlook.
Is there a way for me to either 1. Save directly to .msg format from evolution or 2. convert .mbox to .msg after i have saved the email? Google is usually my friend and comes up with answers for me but on this occasion hasn't been any good.
If I don't find a work around for this I will have to revert to using Windows (which I really dont want to do).

I have a simple question that I can't find the answer so far, I use Evolution email client witch is great, the only problem is that the client does not save previous email addresses so I have to enter them manually each time.

I've been using Ubuntu off and on for a long time, and now that 10.04 is out, I just had to come back to it, and leave Windows completely behind. They finally did Ubuntu right.However, I am having one problem with the Evolution email program, that I never had in the past.
I send some very important messages several times a day, that I really absolutely MUST keep a copy of. I looked in my "sent" folder earlier, needing to find one. I noticed that it has not saved a single message I have sent for days. Just to see, I sent a test message, and as soon as it sent, the outbox was emptied and the message was not in the "sent" folder. I have looked around here and so far, have not come up with anything like what I am having happen.I've checked all the settings, I can't find anything that seems it would affect saving sent messages.

I wonder if it is possible to have two passwords for one user account in 9.10. I have a long login password (5 words about 45 characters with spaces caps). I would like to set a shorter password for Authentication, sudo, etc. While retaining the original for logging in.In short:Have long password to login to computer.Have short password for everything after login.

Having openSUSE 11.2, Firefox (latest release) is having some issues when comes to "saving image as", it fails to offer "saving window"? Konqueror works normal, what could be the problem with Firefox?

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:

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 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 am trying to set up Ubuntu like I had on my windows PC. I have my account, my wifes account and my kids account. I want passwords set for both myself and my wife but I don't want the kids to be required to have a password to log in. When setting up Ubuntu, it looks like it was all or none. I have dabbled with Linux off and on for years and am sure there is a way to set this up but I have no idea how.

I am running an Ubuntu 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit machine and I have set up an SSH between them and for whatever reason the passwords won't work; I receive the following error when trying to log on from either computer..I own both of the computers so I have full reign over them, so I'm assuming it should be an easy fix but I'm not sure about what to do.

I can not manage to get any passwords on my network with Ettercap.I have followed several tutorials but I still seem to have no luck in getting them.I have BT5/KDE/32bit installed and using an alfa network adapter (RTL8187).First I configured etter.conf script to look as below:
ec_uid = 0 # root is the default
ec_gid = 0 # root is the default
# the command used by the remote_browser plugin

Running FC11 64 bit and Firefox 3.5.5. Under Edit->Preferences->Security, I have checked the box "Remember passwords for sites". But Firefox doesn't remember the passwords. It does remember the usernames. Is there something else that I must do to get it remember passwords?

I'm having some problems of security in my Fedora 12... excess of security. It keeps me asking mi password everytime I want to perform an operation, and in some cases I'm pretty sure that this hampers me to work with some files.
Everytime I boot it, it asks about the password for the wireless network, and when I fill that out, another window pops up saying "Enter password for default keyring to unlock" (I press the "deny button" always for this one as it doesn't accept my user password.
I'm a newbie in linux and in programming, so I spend the days facing problem after problem and it's starting to drive me crazy. I'm not the root of the computer, but just a superuser (I hope that's not the problem)
Isn't it possible just to put my password when I start and then work without writing it anytime?

In my recently installed openSUSE 11.4 system I am using Kwallet to store all of my private passwords and also those associated with my Kmail accounts. All of these passwords appear correctly in Kwallet, but it seems there is a problem with Kmail accessing them.Whenever I start a new session, Kmail loads first and is followed by Kwallet. When Kmail then tries to do its first mail retrieval it stops and asks for the account password. I type this in and then Kwallet requests its administrator password. Once I type this in, my mail is downloaded and I get no further request for the passwords during that session.
The same thing happens when I attempt to send my first email of the day. I get a Kmail request for the SMTP account password. I've tried changing the Kwallet settings so that it doesn't close when unused for a period,or when the screensaver kicks in, but this (predictably) has no effect. In the Access Control screen, both KDE Wallet Manager and Kontact are shown as 'Always Allow' and I can see no other settings in either Kwallet or Kmail which are relevant to the problem.My guess is that the problem occurs because Kmail starts up ahead of Kwallet and therefore doesn't load the passwords initially. But that may be a red herring as I'm not familiar with the way Kmail and Kwallet interact.

Just did a clean, fully updated install of Lucid. Unlike the development version I was running, Firefox now will not remember usernames or passwords for sites. I have "Remember passwords for sites" under Preferences checked.

I use Ubuntu on my netbook, which I uses for browsing and email. It's way faster than the Windows which came on the machine. That's a nice feature, as is the price.
I like it except for the constant, perpetual, ever-present, super-annoying need to be entering passwords and "becoming root user" and so on. I am the only one using this appliance. I don't even care if someone steals it, really. There must be some way (I hope) of disabling this idea that I am a CIA agent with TopSecret materials.
I just want a simple, easy to use appliance. If not Ubuntu, is there any distro that is aimed at normal people?

I downloaded and installed hundreds of KDE and GNOME programs yesterday evening. A password was called for and rejected because it was too short. A new password was provided but it was not written down or saved on anything. I am now locked out of linux for want of a working passwd.There is a way to recover a lost password. Would someone please tell me what it is? I do not want to have to re-install everything again.

Is it possible to have two passwords associated with one account, one that is the actual one, and another one, a duress password, that upon entering gives a similar (desktop) environment with "decoy data"?
The idea is to have the bogus password go to an encrypted home drive that looks as if it were the real deal, but it is wiping particular sensitive (encrypted) data that is visible only with the real password in the background, so that the actual data that need to be protected are not compromised. While the person who unlocked the computer tries to find the information on it between all the rubbish files, the real files are securely wiped. The files are very sensitive in nature, so it's better to have then destroyed than have unauthorized people access them, in the event of that happening.
I happen to know that TrueCrypt has a similar option but that requires an entire decoy operating system (and I think that might be a bit conspicuous), but is there a native linux way to do it?
