View 7 RepliesI was wondering if there was an alternative to evolution for my email and calender. I tried Thunderbird, but it is too slow to start up and evolution also is too slow, I'm looking for a simple, fast, mail reader with a calender, that shows up in the indicator panel applet.

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 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 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Code:
westwood@westwood-desktop:/etc$ tailf /var/log/mail.log

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?
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 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 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?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set Desktop-Webmail to be the preferred Mail Client in Preferred Applications in Natty, but Evolution is the only selectable option.
Purging Desktop-Webmail didn't help, nor did trying other such apps like gnome-gmail.
Any ideas on how the list of Mail Clients can be set?
I enjoy the convenience and the simplicity of the mail and chat icons in the GNOME notification bar. But I am not sure I like Empathy; and I certainly prefer Thunderbird to Evolution. Can I use the mail icon to launch Thunderbird, and to be notified of new messages from Thunderbird? Likewise, can I use the mail and chat icons to control and to receive notifications from another IM program like Pidgin?

No wifi necessary nor any apps other than what is required to view a non-drm pdf or epub format (no mp3 playing required) and a usb port. Something like the Kobo or the eSlick but available in Europe would do fine. I'd appreciate hearing your recommendations.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSomething very weird happening with email stuck in my outbox. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 and Evolution 2.28.1
I have about 8 email boxes set up - all IMAP, all on different domains, and across several ISPs. My primary ones have been working fine since I first set up Evolution about 3 weeks ago.
The less important ones had problems (I could receive but not send). I've started to address these ones and am making relevant changes to SMTP server settings etc and they seem to working now.
However, one of my primary addresses seems to now be queueing email in the outbox and not actually sending it. I did not consciously make any changes to that profile while I was fixing the other accounts. I thought there might be an issue with my ISP, but having waited overnight to resolve any potential problems, I see I still have the same problem.
I am wondering if I set the /home/user/.evolution folder to synchronise with ubuntu one on my eee, and then when I update the desktop remove the /.evolution folder and replace it with the one synchronised with ubuntu one would all my setting and messages be copied as well or not? And no I can use Imap as I use that dreaded thing known as hotmail! My desktop is running 8.04 but is due an upgrade soon so I can test my idea out!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI had been using Evolution with no issues though until I installed Ubuntu 10.04 after which I could no longer send outgoing messages. I use a hotmail live account with Evolution. I have also just installed Evolution 2.30 from 2.28 to see if that would solve the issue, but it did not.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust installed Kubuntu 10.10, configuring it now. The problem is, that I would like to use KMail, but I've got to import the settings, mailbox etc. I made a backup through Evolution, wich ended up as a .tar.gz. I tried to open it though the KMail backup program. But it just won't load the mails or lettings. It just doesn't work. I tried Evolution 1.x backup end Evolution 2.x backup. Both didn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since I upgraded to 10.10 my Indicator Applet will no longer notify me of new mail. I'm not sure if this is an issue caused by the update of Ubuntu or Evolution.
I've tried removing and adding it again, but no luck. Anyone else having this problem or have a fix?
Running !0.10 Desktop
I want to forward mail from the evolution mail program (2.22.3.1) to my gmail account.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to track down. In Evolution, I am unable to receive mail. I tried every configuration method I know and still no success. I'm even tried using a hotmail and verizon account settings with no luck.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI found a few threads already with people having similar issues, but I hadn't stumbled across any with a fix. This happened at the worst possible time. I have finals for my online classes next week, and I'm going to be going out of state for a while in a couple of days and it's a real nuisance that of all the times it's now that I have a problem.
Anyway, the applet in the task bar notified me that I'd received two new messages and when I go over to the desktop that my mail catcher sits on the inbox is empty. I double checked it a couple of times, it said that I had new mail, but it was not appearing. I closed the program and tried to restart it. The program would launch for about a second, and crash again. At first it just wouldn't launch and then I rebooted the system and then the immediate crashing began to take place.
That report can be found here: Bug #685734 in evolution (Ubuntu): Evolution crashes on start up.
I have some messages that will show briefly then disappear.
I believe the ones that disapear are addressed to suppport rather than directly to me
my Outlook on my windows box still show's the messages along with OWA
There are no filter's applied
