Add Maintainenance tools Evolution filters  
Written by doxland the 17 Mar 12 at 20:38. New
Recently My Evolution filters got messed up.
When examining the list I found that it was quite long and
While trying to find the errors I realized that they cannot be searched by subject or set in alphabetical order. It would be helpful to have some sorting or search tools in Evo Filters.
Perhaps it would be helpful to organize by knowing all filters which are set to deliver to "XXX" folder.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks

Solution #1: Add the feature "Save file as HTML file"
Written by tellapu the 4 Feb 11 at 06:13.
It would be nice to have the possibility to save the email as HTML file. This could be added in the drop-down menu in the save-window or add a context-menu-item when reading an email.

Evolution has too many problems  
Written by mackuz the 19 Jan 11 at 08:08. New
For now, Evolution has too many problems: it's too big and slow and it's team is killing any idea about usability improvement. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1778/ for example.

Solution #1: There must be a fork of Evolution
Written by mackuz the 19 Jan 11 at 08:08.
While Evolution team is hardly thinking on every new feature and killing good ideas as http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1778/ for example, there must be a new team with fresh look and brains who will make a fork of Evolution for Ubuntu because Ubuntu is user-friendly and innovative distribution.

To provide feedback as to when your evolution mail last updated your inbox  
Written by mjones41 the 1 Dec 10 at 23:19. New
Sometimes I am not sure how up to date my inbox is. If you are on a slow connection you often schedule updates to be every half hour or so.

Organization of e-mails and contacts  
Written by tareksaid the 25 Nov 10 at 16:19. New
People get a lot of e-mail everyday, most of them advertisement and spam. Sometimes, it's hard to sort what's important from what is not, and when you're in a hurry it's easy to miss a new e-mail that should have been read.

Solution #1: Zeitgeist integrated in Evolution
Written by tareksaid the 25 Nov 10 at 16:19.
Evolution should be integrated with Zeitgeist, so you could use Zeitgeist people as contacts in Evolution and use it to show e-mails from the most important contacts first.

In Unity's People place (which uses Zeitgeist), you should be able to send to or see all the e-mails from a contact.

OSS groupware integration with evolution  
Written by Aceler the 3 Nov 10 at 13:32. New
Evolution can be easilly integrated with (at least) two groupware systems — the Google Mail and Microsoft™ Exchange™.

It's a shame, that if I want to integrate Evolution with some Open-source groupware systems, like Zimbra or Kolab, I need a lot of work to do, while proprietary Exchange server has it's own connector.

Calendar clutter in the month view  
Written by kjgillis the 9 Oct 10 at 02:50. New
The calendar month view can become cluttered if it has many repeating events, such as daily classes or weekly meetings.

When I'm using the day or week view showing all of these events is fine, because I'm usually either checking what's next on my schedule or seeing if I'm free at a particular time.

When I use the month view I'm more likely to be checking the date of a one time appointment. The daily and weekly recurring events are less relevant and can make visually searching for an important event difficult. If there are many recurring events they can fill entire calendar boxes, possibly pushing important events out of view.

Weekly recurring events can also render the highlighting of days that have event on the mini-calendar useless, particularly if every day has an event. This goes for both the mini-calendar in evolution and the gnome mini-calendar.

Currently, multiple calendars can be used to avoid clutter. This seems like an imperfect solution both because recurring day-to-day events and special events might belong to the same category and because it's not linked to the calendar view and the time scale thats being worked with.

Solution #4: Recurring events can be marked on the day or month
Written by Oxwivi the 13 Oct 10 at 17:18.
For example, clicking on Sunday will show all the events that occur on every Sunday. Similarly, event that occur on the Saturday of the second week of every month can be noted in the month.

Evolution reminder - longer snoozer time

When evolution reminds you with note, you have the possibility to let it snooze. Unfortunately only up to 12 hours. Why not longer?

Solution #1: Snoozer time length extended
Written by tellapu the 13 Sep 10 at 11:27.
Would it not be easy to add days to the snooze field or have a drop-down menu where you can choose minutes, hours, days and even weeks?
