Just installed latest Ubuntu (dual boot with XP until settled in) and also installed Evolution as default mail client. All works well. But, I need to import my nested, hierarchical mail folders (over 200) from Thunderbird on XP in to Evolution. Is there any speedier and less laborious way than importing single mail folders and then having to re-arrange them all?
View 2 RepliesI've just upgraded to 11.04 and I created a evolution-backup.tar.gz file as I've done in other upgrades. When I restored the backup and started Evolution, I've lost all the emails in top-level folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts etc). My own custom folders within these top level folders contain the emails that I backed up. There are quite a few important emails that I've yet to respond to in my Inbox and this is very concerning. Also, I've lost all my Contacts!

It is version 2.28.3-2
Simply doesn't start. Brings up the main mail window, doesn't show any mail folders, and doesn't respond to any key presses or mouse clicks.
Other users on the same PC have no problems, so it must be user specific. Some sort of config problem I guess. But where ? This particular user has over 500Mb of mail in folders.
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 am using TB 3.0.1 on Karmic. I finally took a look at Evolution and I like the contact features. I have been looking for a replacement for ACT (I recently migrated from XP) and this looks like it might fit the bill. Is it possible to import all of my emails, contacts, folders etc from TB into Evolution. I would like to try it out and see if it works for me. I am in sales and need a program to keep track of leads.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried to import my calendar from an Outlook 2010 .pst file twice and have had the same error both times. Appointments import successfully, but the start time (and end time) is advanced by 8 hours. For example, an appointment in Outlook with the correct start time of 12:30pm appears in Evolution with a start time of 8:30pm. I have confirmed that my system time and time zone are identical and correct in WinXP/Outlook and Ubuntu/Evolution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have what I believe to be an Evolution mail archive which I now find the need to access. For each mailbox, I see these files
bash-3.1$ ls Inbox*
Inbox Inbox.cmeta Inbox.ev-summary Inbox.ibex.indexInbox.ibex.index.data
On the original cdr backup, there is also Inbox.sbd/ which appears to be an empty directory. I can read this stuff with mutt -f Inbox, but mutt has it's limitations. I would like to be able to get them into thunderbird, or even gmail. What's the trick? When I boot thunderbird, it doesn't really want to know.
I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 JJ on several ex-windoze/dual boot machines for my family. All has gone well apart from one niggle with email. We have used Eudora for years and been quite happy with it. Having looked at the Linux offerings I found the Evolution packaged with Ubuntu offered the most similar feature set (correct me if I'm wrong - I have not looked at a huge selection). All is well except for one or two little problems importing Eudora mailboxes -
1) all 'sent' mails seem to lose the date/time information - I have tried the import feature on Evolution and also manually moving the mailboxes. In both cases the messages are fine but no date information is carried over. Received mails are fine in both cases. This makes proper archiving very difficult.
2) mails lose the 'replied/reply' flags. Now the second is no big deal and may be a 'feature' of Eudora not implementing the Berkeley format correctly (or the feature doesn't exist anyway). The first however is a bit of a devil - if it is incorrect format by Eudora then shame on them.
Would anyone have a recommendation for a Thunderbird extension or add-on for importing e-mail from Live Mail? I have a dual installation of win7 & Ubuntu 10.04. Ultimately, I want to import my e-mail archive into Thunderbird on the Ubuntu partition. For the transition, I have both Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail on the win7 side. I'm running Thunderbird 3.0.6, though I could upgrade.

1. In Xp open MS-Access create blank database.
2. From File->Get External Data->Import, Select file type as exchange()
3. Import contacts to new table, u can delete unwanted columns from this table. Now export this table to a csv file.
4. Following is simple code which takes contacts.csv as input and convert these contacts to vcf file which can be imported to evolution.
5. The contact.csv should be of format
FirstName,LastName,emailID
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
[code]....
6. uuidgen should be present on your linux box. you can have other validations and field too as per your need. but these three fields worked best for m
7. ./a.out contact.csv output.vcf Now in evolution go to Contacts->File Import->Import single file, select output.vcf and File type as vcf.
I've played with various distros over the last couple of years but always given up due to video problems. I've just installed 11.2 and the video problems are no more so I want to try and stick with it but..... unless I can get my emails across from Windows Mail I'll have to give up. Is there a client that will sensibly import my emails without too much fuss? I've got thousands of mails that I want to move across and they're split into around 50 folders.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a copy of old Eudora mbox files. I need to import them to Thunderbird. When I use the Import function, it does not provide a way to locate the mbox files. I've even installed the OSE Eudora, but, how that looks just like Thunderbird. Forks? Again, Eudora does not provide a way to import the files directly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter 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?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently updated to 10.04, accidentally deleted the panels, and somehow screwed up evolution in the processes. I am certain beyond a reasonable doubt that I had run evolution successfully after the upgrade. After attempting to restore the panels, evolution started acting differently. When opening evolution, it acts as though I am opening it for the first time, prompting me for account information, pop/imap, etc etc. There is still data in the .evolution folder. I glanced at one of the files in the calendar folder and recognized information from my personal calendar.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have all my Hotmail folders be synched with my Evolution? (by default it is only synch-ing Inbox)
I've searched these forums and seen this question raised by many but no clear answer on it yet...
I wanted to create something that is pretty standard in the computer world: a search folder that shows me all the unread email in both local and remote (IMAP: Ubuntu/Postfix/Dovecot) folders.
1. Create Search Folder
2. Edit properties to find: "Status is not Read"
Viewing the folder was a bit of a nightmare.
If I clicked on any email that was unread, the email would appear for a moment, it's status would then change to 'read', it would then vanish, the next unread email would come up and then vanish. All unread email would then be flipped through until there was none in the search folder.I now have to go through all of my folders to make sure I haven't missed any important emails.Is there a way to create a rational search folder for unread mail given this setup?
I would like to sort ALL my Evolution email folders in reverse date order (most recent message to appear first). You can create a customized view, but you then have to apply this view to EACH folder individually - not fun if you have hundreds of folders... I don't seem to be able to edit the "default" view called "Messages", the Edit button remains greyed out when you select that view...
