Evolution and gconf

http://crunchbanglinux.org – I recently installed Evolution 3.4.3. I don't like the fact that it automatically marks messages as read after 1.5 seconds. Some searching led me to this question and answer. I set the required key with gconf-tool2 and confirmed that it was set. I restarted Evolution, but it still automatically marked messages as read. I then set the timeout key to 0 and restarted, but it behaved the same. Evolution is not respecting either of the two keys (/apps/evolution/mail/display/mark_seen and /apps/evolution/mail/display/mark_seen_timeout). Should it in #!? Does it "know" about gconf? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Evolution and gconf

One of the big annoyances in Evolution for me was when setting the composer preferences the options for "automatically insert emoticon images" "start typing at the bottom when replying" and "keep signature above the original message when replying" were grayed out and unusable.

Stumbled on this in evolution 3.4, and it's now under /org/gnome/evolution/mail/mark_seen_timeout

Hi guys,

I'm using FC11 with gnome as desktop and evolution as mail client. I forgot a password from one of my mail accounts. This account is configured on my evolution and password is saved on it.

How can I recovery this password from evolution, or gconf or gnome-keyring ?

Regards,

Fred

Hi everybody,

today I apply some updates to my Fedora 17 x64, and now, when I try to start up evolution I receive the following error:

I set up a WebDAV addressbook in evolution, and copied lots of contacts in to it.

Hi all, can't figure out how this essential operation can be done in Evolution.

I love Ubuntu and Evolution so I installed Evolution on Ubuntu 12.04 when I upgraded recently.

I restored my mail from a backup and on starting Evolution for the first time, received a message about converting my emails and once successful, deleting the mbox versions via Edit -> Preferences -> Mail accounts.

This all worked as expected until I did my first backup and realised that the

The problem is that I recive a mail(checked by going to gmail.com) which Evolution hasn't recived, tried to make Evolution retrive all mails still nothing, even after a restart of evolution it still couldn't get it.

Hi, I tried to find an answer elsewhere but came empty-handed. I use Evolution for all my IMAP accounts, but with Gmail I am having an issue of Evolution showing already read messages as unread, or deleted still present, after closing the program and launching it again, forcing to mark or delete those messages at least twice.
