What is Reddit's opinion of Evolution?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Looks like gnome2 with a windows file browser. The mail icon is almost definitely evolution, which would fit gnome 2. And yeah, the file manager looks a lot like IE.

Also, I swear that background came as default on SOME distro. No idea which, though. Google reverse image search and tineye didn't come up with anything.

Well, there’s evolution, which is relatively feature-rich. Depending on your use-case, it might be an alternative to Thunderbird. It’s integrated relatively tightly into Gnome (as it is a Gnome app), though.

Is there a way to donate toward specific areas/activities? For example, MS Exchange support in goa and evolution.

I noticed some projects on Bountysource but it doesn't look like the team is officially/actively using it.

PIMs are definitely useful office/business tools, but when I think 'office' software I think more of documents, forms, data, etc. so it kind of makes sense LibreOffice doesn't bundle in a PIM when there are several great options out there.

Something like Thunderbrid (by Mozilla, the makers of Firefox) is a great email application with address-book, calendaring, and loads of plugins/addons available.

For more comprehensive personal information managers there's Evolution and Kontact

All of which are free and open source

> The email program is called "email"

Which one? :)

idk if I actually like this trend. Feels too generic. "Epiphany" is a much more memorable name than "GNOME Web"

Maybe check out Evolution as it's pretty much the standard for any business that uses Linux and not webmail.

It has plugin support as well so even if it doesn't have everything you want in the base you will likely find a way to add that feature.

Natively, nothing.

Workarounds?

1) Generate an app password and use your IMAP/EWS client of choice, assuming legacy protocols have not been blocked for your tenant or Exchange Online itself.

2) Evolution-EWS. If you happen to use (or want to switch to) Evolution, this 3rd party plugin will give the client OAuth 2.0 support. The admin of your tenant (

3) Use the web apps, but use Chrome. You can enable desktop notifications

4) Windows VM + Office/Outlook

I use Linux on all my TPs (Debian, Devuan & Mint) no double booting with Windows, and single OS/ Distro per TP.

• Use them for everything.
• XFCE on all of them.
• Evolution as email client, mostly because I'm comfy with it, been using it since 2007 or so.
• I use all my TPs.

Maybe you meant Evolution. Evolutions is capable of managing calendars local and remote. Other alternative: lightning the calendar plugin for Thunderbird.

I use Evolution since I use Gnome and it seems like Thunderbird is not actively being developed anymore. But it's also probably too heavy for what you're looking for. I used mutt in the past but HTML emails were always a pain.

Have you thought about trying to compile it yourself?

Might have to spin up a VM myself and give compiling a try ;)

Try Evolution.

It has:

• Multifunctional address book for full-fledged work with contacts.
• Built-in utilities for managing tasks, writing small notes, and a calendar. In general, a full-fledged organizer.
• Convenient message filtering system. Moreover, there are both manual tools for designing mailboxes and categorizing messages, as well as automated systems for filtering spam.

I'm using Mailbird, hopefully, they'll make a Linux version soon.

I remember the Evolution mail client had a "group by threads" feature, so all the "Re:" mail messages were grouped together in a way that looks like the Reddit comments section's user interface. Probably Thunderbird has a similar feature.

Can i rephrase the question; is anybody using gnus with corporate office365 ? It requires OAUTH2, there were some discussions in debbugs & emacs-devel last month about potential problems when gmail decides to move to OAUTH2 (or their implementation, XOAUTH2 or something) but i have not understood if these blocking issues are only about GMail and google's TOS or if it is general problem with OAUTH2 for gnus. Everyone was saying about how KMail solved this but Evolution works fine with OAUTH2 method since 2018 -> https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/EWS/OAuth2

"... uses GNOME SDK and Platform , which is current hosted on the Flathub."

... The GNOME Platform and SDK can be installed with:

flatpak --user remote-add --from flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

​

>>> gnome now publishes its software directly on flathub

I have no idea what operating system you are running.

But if it's GNU/Linux or *BSD, then from graphical I know there is Evolution. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/PrivacyPolicy (you may want to disable Gravatar integration).

For terminal-based, I love neomutt, I use it everyday with OfflineIMAP, though it is harder to configure than Evolution.

Thunderbird should be fine, and with extensions like lightning you can bring in the calendar etc, weird its locking up

Evolution is (meant to be) 100% exchange compatible https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution

or try Zimbra, that should support every aspect of exhange/outlook. https://www.zimbra.com/zimbra-desktop/

if you check downloads theres zimbra desktop and then zimbra connector for outlook https://www.zimbra.com/downloads/

> is there a way to do some more debugging in evolution?

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging

Other than that you can also try asking on the evolution irc channel: #evolution on irc.gnome.org. There's not much else I can help you with, since I've never used 2 factor auth myself and this seems to be a problem related to that.
