Re: [Evolution] Debugging automatic filter application

[Aditya Prasad <akprasad gmail com>]

:) I'll settle for "surprising." I'm a software engineer too, and I know how hard it can be to get even seemingly-simple things right. I'm sure there have been many talented engineers working on Evolution and other mail clients, so I probably just don't understand the challenges involved.

Agree. It's amazing that after so long, Linux can't get a simple email program right. Maybe amazing isn't the right word. Sad?

Okay, well for now I'll stick with mail on my Macbook and try email on Linux again next year :) Thanks for all your hard work!

        Hi,
so is it 3.22.5 in Help->About of Evolution now? Is evolution-data-
server package of the same version as the evolution package?

My bad, I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, so I'm on 3.18.5.2-0ubuntu3.1.

I re-read your initial email and you mention there:

while you claim it's a POP account, but POP accounts do not have any
such options, these options are available for example for IMAPx
accounts. What does Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts, column Type shows
for this account, please? Being it "pop", where did you change these
two option, please?

D'oh! You're right, it's IMAPx!

I cannot think of anything other than trying with gdb and installed
debuginfo for evolution-data-server and evolution, but any such
instructions are out of this mailing list purpose, the same as gdb is
not meant to be used by regular users (I do not know whether you know
gdb and how to work with it; if you do, then it's even better).

I haven't used gdb in a long while, but maybe I can resurrect my knowledge :)

Thanks again,

A

I can extend filter logging for the next version. I think it'll be
valuable.

        Bye,
