Re: [Evolution] bogofilter not working

[Fletcher Moore <fletcher superflet ch>]

Well that's interesting. So when I run it from the commandline it does indeed load the plugin, while if I run it from the activities menu, it does not. That's enough to go on. Thanks.

	Hi,

I suppose you've restarted evolution after installing that plugin. I

would also run evolution from a terminal, in case it'll show anything

useful there (like the plugin could not be loaded for whatever reason).

If properly installed, the Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->Junk

tab contains at the end a "Junk filtering software" section, where one

can pick from his/her installed junk plugins. If there's only one such

plugin, then it can be hidden and only options for the installed plugin

are shown. Bogofilter has only one options there.

You can check whether the module is properly installed, it's when you

have

module-bogofilter.so in /usr/lib64/evolution/modules/ (maybe a little

different path, depending where your distribution stores these files).

There might be more modules, like module-mail.so.

The module searches for /usr/bin/bogofilter by default (or what the

path had been set during compile time), and when it cannot find it,

then it hides itself. The command can be overwritten in:

   $ gsettings get org.gnome.evolution.bogofilter command

(empty string means to use the compile-time default command).

	Bye,

	Milan
