behdad, I guess, dobey’s comments explains the feature. IIRC OpenOffice.org, Firefox too has the same concept like evolution. IMO It may not be fair to compare this with tabs in gedit. I agree with the shortcuts stuff, which should to be addressed in some way. We are working on configurable shortcuts which should help address [...]

- HIG states, dont change the tool button labels. That is one reason, why “Delete” / “Undelete” and “Junk” / “Not Junk” cant be merged. There was some proposal to make spam assasin learn as ham (Not a spam). Both Junk and Not_Junk button has to be present for that. Atleast It was merged in [...]

One big reason, I hate to use threading is that my reading is limited to the mails I received TODAY/RECENTLY. If a new message arrives in a old thread, it still lies way below the scrolled window and never comes to my visibility. I really like GMail at this very point and I tried to [...]
Four months, in GNOME 2.16 cycle, We have added a lot of UI improvements to Evolution to make it look much better. Not just features and lot of bug fixes too!!! I have blogged them in parts. Im summarising all of them. Cairo Rendering for Calendar Evolution Calendar takes direct advantage of Cairo. It enabled [...]

This will have the following layout This is a single multilined column, which helps to reduce the width of the message list, which helps [...]
Btw, Evolution integrates with GNOME Keyring from 2.7.x onwards. While doing the build, –enable-keyring=yes (Default in the tarball) should be just sufficient to enable it by default. Then It stores/retrieves passwords only from the key store and not any other stores like .gnome_private. Evolution, EDS, Alarm Daemon, everything picks up the passwords from the keyring [...]
I added some code across evolution to enable, save attachments/mails/calendar/events/addressbooks/vcards to remote shares. Also I enabled the file chooser to attach files from remote shares. I have attached a screenshot of the file chooser, showing remote shares. I have added a new camel backend class called CamelStreamVFS which can save files from any gnome-vfs backend. [...]
I remember seeing too many requests to make the headers collapsible, if the to/cc/bcc are too many. It really takes up a lot of space in the preview pane and makes the mail invisible in the pane. I have added a ‘+’ ‘-’ button before the header to Expand/Collapse. Also a link ‘…’ at the [...]

Thanks a lot for the comments/response for the previous post. Monday I committed the first cut of cairo drawing work in Evolution calendar to HEAD. I have applied garrett’s ideas on it. It has the event transparency configurable with gconf, rounded corners and other minor bits. Im sure that, it might need more revisions till [...]
