Re: Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designedto go?

Sorry, I will try this other email client it defaults to HTML, but I 
have clicked on a setting that claims it will send as plain text. We 
will see.  For work and general correspondence I can't use plain text 
as  it is inadequate. Further, most places use web-forums not 
listservs anymore. :-) And so I really forgot the old listserv 
plaintext rules. I do apologize once again.

I cleared some of the errors in the syslog, by removing a video card 
from the system. The VM was created on the same hardware, when it was 
running under windows. Bullseye didn't seem to like the living with 
both an NVidia video adapter and an Intel i915. Once the Intel was 
gone, after yet another fresh install of evolution, the syslog error 
messages are gone but the primary issue regarding the failure to 'see' 
any new mail as it comes in, persists.

Maybe  this forum is better for configuration issues and not debug of 
code. I don't know. You all can tell me. I don't need to waste 
bandwidth if this  is the wrong place to be discussing this. All I do 
know is that I have an instance of evolution on a VM that works and an 
instance on the direct hardware that does not. The underlying 
hardware, now that the Intel video is gone, seems to be rock solid. No 
other software is misbehaving. I suspect I need a way to run a debug 
on the code during operation of evolution (if that was possible) and 
send that debug output  to the developer (if that was possible).


That issue with Linux and applications, the concept that open source 
is better, is only true for the coders, not anyone else. It is why 
over the years even though all my servers ran Linux, I stayed with 
Windows on the desktop. Well, now, Windows is gone and I am on Linux 
100%. Evolution isn't working. BlueMail, which I have been using as a 
daily replacement, is too limiting and causing problems even emailing 
back to this list. I am now on a search for yet another option for an 
email client and evolution  remains my archive of my old contracts, 
contacts, correspondence and the rest.


[Parenthetically, the listserv is set up incorrectly. I ran listservs, 
some twenty something years ago, and the settings on return mail are 
backwards.]

file]
