After writing this I was confronted with the ambiguous button
[Add comment] instead of [Submit comment]

The main advantage commercial sw has over FLOSS is that the big companies paid me and people like me for our opinions and scientific research concerning user friendliness and they listened and corrected to those opinions or research. But so many FLOSS developers instead argue with experts who try to be helpful instead of listening to them.

1) I found these files, need a data extraction program.
user@ubuntu:~/.evolution/mail/local$ ls Sent*
Sent Sent.cmeta Sent.ibex.index Sent.ibex.index.data

2) Is there a way copy over Windows Outlook .pst files to Ubuntu box and import them to Evolution mail?

Thanks

I’ve been using GnuPG with Evo with my normal imap and pop accounts without a hitch.

Evo may lock up. I’ve locked it up a couple of times by changing preferences while it was sending/receiving. The nice thing is that if it locks up, you open a terminal, type
ps ax | grep evolution
kill ##### (the number of the jobs that appear) and reload evolution. If Outlook locks up, you reboot the whole machine.

For example: n to compose a new email, f to forward an email, etc, and also m to move and c to copy an email or group of emails. By pressing one ofr those two letters, a hierarchy of folders shows up to select where to move/copy the email(s). That window filters as you type, so you can quickly find the destination folder.

I have a notebook and I hate touchpads. I recently found those two shortcuts that made my life so much easier :)

Cheers,

Now we come to Evolution (ironic, that!) which seems to be struggling vainly to just meet the lowest level of the bar set by a commercial offering from the software development institution that everyone loves to hate. Even the (pretty bad) UI and UI functionality is copied sans improvement — in fact, with reduced functionality. (What would be the fate of another closed-source entity that attempted this?!)

Anyway, this state of affairs seems mighty sad and disappointing — but of course, the bigger question is, does this reflect on just this project, or the principle of ‘Open Source’ in general…?
