Dear maintainers of Evolution e-mail client,
I'm using version 3.4.4 (from UI Help > About)
Package version listed with "apt-cache show evolution" is listed as:
Version: 3.12.6-1
I've noticed earlier that sometime changes in Mail Account setting seems
to sometimes not be honoured before the e-mail client is restarted.
For example, if I use Edit > Preferences and then edit a mail account
profile, settings seems to not be active until I restart evolution.
For example, I configured a postfix/dovecot setup recently, and I had
misconfigured the Mail Account setting in Evolution such that when
sending e-mail, I got a 'relayed error' message as I didn't authenticate
to the server.
I kept the e-mail editing window open, changed the settings in
preferenced for the e-mail account, and the log on the server still gave
the same error and feedback. I stored the message to the outbox, then
shutdown Evolution, and then restarted it.
Now it worked well.
I've also noticed before when I play around with various settings in
e-mail account profiles that there are trouble to have these activated
immediately.
It's not a big problem for me, but I can imagine users who input correct
settings, after having input the incorrect ones, in a mail profile is
confused when it's not working.
It's not a very big problem, but I think it still should be fixed.
Thanks.
Per R.
