GNOME Evolution

Great news for @EvolutionGnome users: in Evolution 3.58 (expected to ship alongside GNOME 49 in Q4 2025), the calendar events conflict checks in meeting invitations received via email will now respect the user preferences; this will boost performance quite a bit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1441#note_2382738

We will need someone to implement the corresponding per-calendar property in #GNOMECalendar's calendars management GUI, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1297

If you are using the @EvolutionGnome mail client on @ubuntu and you are writing e-mails in plain text (as you should to keep simple things simple), you have probably heard people complain to you about forced hard line breaks that look stupid on cell phones. There is no setting in the client to switch that off, but you can

gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail composer-word-wrap-length -1

to soft-wrap. Whenever you open the settings dialog again, it will reset to 31 of all things, so don't...

I'm normally a @thunderbird user, and I love it, but decided to give @EvolutionGnome a try since it's been a few years. I can safely say that we, in the Open Source community, have some awesome choices.

Happy to announce that the @EvolutionGnome #email / #PIM application is now available in @fedora #EPEL #EPEL10 for those of you on @centos Stream or @almalinux #AlmaLinuxKitten or one of the EL10 betas!

@Inmod Hi, you can create a new search. Go to Search->Edit Saved Searches->Add. The rule should be: [Status] [is not] [Read]. Then you will find it in the search menu (left from the search field). By Alt+W, you switch focus to it and by Up/Down arrows you switch between all and unread messages.

#ADHD folks & #minimalism fans with overflowing #email inboxes (or some #GNOME devs with too many mailing lists & bug tracker emails) might be pleased to discover that @EvolutionGnome has a secret gsetting (that you can toggle in dconf-editor) to disable unread mail counts for folders in the sidebar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/971#note_1818656

Because what's the point of knowing you have 787 unread emails instead of 785, anyway?

Wish I had per-folder notifications to go with that: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/672
