[Evolution] Evo 1.2.1 bugs / feature requests

[guenther <guenther rudersport de>]

cheers( folks && coders );

I am using Evolution for a long time now and played around quite a bit.
I learned a lot about Evo interna on this list and most of you probably
have read posts and solutions by me.

Evo is the best GUI eMail Client and I really appreciate your great
work. 

In the last days/weeks I stumbled on some points (all using Evo 1.2.1):


- Where are Status and Labels stored?

I use Evo on 3 computers, all pointing to the same IMAP servers. All
mail is managed on IMAP servers. Status 'important' must be stored in
the message itself on the IMAP server, as changes to status appear in
the other Evo clients as well. Thats really good.

Labels though seem to be stored in ~/evolution on every account
separately. Where exactly are they stored?

And is there any hope to store that information in the mail on IMAP
server, too? I really would appreciate this.


- View / Message Display / Source broken

Displaying the Mail with full headers or as Source is really a good
feature. But it is really broken.

Even Source View filters the content and doesn't display the real
source. Headers like Status: and X-Status: are omitted.

Why? Everyone who wanna use this expects the real source to be
displayed. But this feature really is useless, when I have to view my
mbox file manually to get the full source.

Any chance to get this fixed?


- Filter: apply Label

There seems to be no way, to set Labels by Filter. Just forgotten when
coding?

btw: Applying Colors seems not to work for me... Will test more on that.


- Thread: Re-Define Follow-Ups (feature request)

The Threaded Message View is really a great feature. But as there are on
other mailing-lists people, who seems not to know about a reply button,
I get a lot of partially broken Threads.

What about a feature, to tell Evo that a message is a follow-up to
another post? And vice-versa defining a post as not-follow-up?

Is it even possible to code? (Sorry, I don't know, how the follow-up in
threads are calculated. Any info about that is also welcome.)


Keep up the good work. Evo is on the way to really become a killer
application on Linux Desktops. All those 'switching from OE to Evo'
messages in here can't lie... ;)
