Well, I have 5 accounts configured right now, all POP3. They are from various hosts. The default account is kempa picassofish com kempa picassofish com goes to picassofish.com. This is a Linux box on the net, has a sendmail server running on it. I connect via POP3 from evolution and download my mail. kempa kwic com goes to mail.kwic.com. KWIC is my ISP. They have a bunch of FreeBSD boxen and one of them is running sendmail. I, again, connect via POP3 to their mail server and download my mail. I then have a whole bunch of Evolution filters (SPAM stuff, folder routing, etc) but I don't think they play into this at all. No procmail, no other stuff in between. Now, replying to "normal" messages seems to work well - the correct account is probed from (presumably) X-Evolution-Source: but replying to mailing lists (any list, I'm on several) selects the default account (kempa picassofish com) not the one specified in the X-Evo-source header. So, to summarize, they both travel to me via sendmail and POP3. They "merge", as far as I know, only in the sense that they are both stored on the same hard disk. Hmm... Interesting. I clicked reply to the message you sent to the list. It selected the right account. I'm guessing this is because I appear as a recipient? Thanks Aaron On Tue, 2002-07-30 at 13:04, Dan Winship wrote:
Need more detail. How many accounts of what types do you have configured? If I send mail to kempa picassofish com, what route does it travel, and likewise for kempa kwic com (Do the two get merged before or after evolution gets involved, etc) On Tue, 2002-07-30 at 12:14, Aaron Kemp wrote:On Tue, 2002-07-30 at 11:34, Dan Winship wrote:Can one of those I-don't-like-the-1.0.x-way people out there explain what was wrong with it for them? The 1.0.x way sounds like it makes a lot more sense to me...<snip> The old 1.0.x way doesn't work when replying to lists. Eg. I have two accounts (I have a lot more than that, but that's not the point) one is kempa picassofish com and one is kempa kwic com I am subscribed to this list via kempa kwic com When I clicked reply just now, Evolution selected my default account (kempa picassofish com) instead of the one in the X-Evolution-Source: header (kempa kwic com). This is annoying as hell because if I don't change the from address, my mail is silently dropped by the list server since my address isn't subscribed. Ironically enough, this happened when I was talking to Jeff about the fact that the autodetection was broken. Other than that, I have no complaint with the way 1.0.x works, so if that bug could be fixed... Jeff assures me that it works in 1.1.x, I haven't been brave enough to start using the dev-snaps yet... <switches from field to correct account> Aaron
