hi there, evolution is a great mailer, but (there always is a but huh?! :-) ) I cant use it because it does not have a download size filter (a filter that prevents auto downloading of large emails). I am a dial up user and because of that I need to be able to selectively download larger emails. I can not imagine that I am the only gnome dial up user on the planet that would be interested in such a feature, am I!? Can anybody tell me if Evo will get some kind of server side filtering on email sizes in the near future? I did not find in the new gnome roadmap :( I really enjoy Gnome and Evo, but this email filtering on size that is missing in evolution is really blocking me from using it. In our sister desktop the way it is implemented in Kmail is really cool (sorry, but it is)! They show a window with a list of headers of only those emails that are larger than a configurable size and per email you can then select: download, delete or leave on server. There is a (much) less sophisticated way in Thunderbird where only part of the email is downloaded and there is some standard text and a link in the email that, when clicked on, retrieves the rest of the mail. This would work as long as it downloads at least all of the text... which it does not do in Thunderbird... This is something i really miss in Evo! Am I the only one?! So (for now) Thunderbird is my only option. Please, would it be possible to add this feature in Evo in (one of) the next release(s)? Thanx for your your great work sofar and for your reply. deech - a hoping-to-be-using-evo-soon gnome fan! Maseru, Lesotho -- Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position. |
