Free evolution software for linux

evolution-rss is a evolution RSS reader plugin.

This plugin adds RSS Feeds support for evolution mail. RSS support was built upon the somewhat existing RSS support in evolution-1.4 branch.

The motivation behind this was to have RSS in same place as mails, at this moment I do not see the point having a separate RSS reader since a RSS Article is like an email message. Probably thats the same reason for NNTP support in evolution.

At this time feeds Artiles are only displayed as summary (with html)

Evolution# is a .NET language binding for various Ximian Evolution libraries.

Building & Installing Evolution#:

The Linux build is the traditional:

./configure
make
make install

You may want to consider using configures prefix option to install Evolution# using the same prefix as Mono. That way all of your .NET assemblies get placed in the same place, and you dont need to do any extra "configuring" to make it so mono (and mint) can find your assemblies. In other words, doing something like:

./configure --prefix=/your/mono/prefix
make
make install

If you are compiling from CVS, you will need libtool and the auto* tools and will need to replace the configure above with autogen.sh.

Evolution Exchange 2.27.3 is professionally designed as the Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange, which adds support for Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 to Evolution. Evolution provides integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of the GNOME desktop.

Evolution SpamBayes Plugin is an Evolution plugin that allows Evolution to use the SpamBayes bayesian filtering system.
The plugin is based on the Bogofilter EPlugin by Mikhail Zabaluev with some "pass message to process" code from the built-in SpamAssassin filtering plugin by Vivek Jain (amongst others).
The plugin is implemented using two python support scripts, one (sb_evolution_plugin_server) which sets up a DBus server holding the SpamBayes database and another (sb_evolution_plugin_client) which can query the client and tell it to train or untrain on messages received on stdin.
The Evolution plugin is implemented as a simple C EPlugin for Evolution using some junk-mail hooks in the evolution EPlugin architecture which is not published on the web yet (for unknown reasons).
Training SpamBayes
Evolution sports a button for marking a message as spam, and it is clear that when the user clicks this button the message should be marked as spam, that much is clear. But messages which are not marked as spam has no way to be marked as ham.
One way to fix this could be to train all messages that are marked as ham (in the checking function) as ham - and then call untrain ham and then train spam for messages when they are marked as spam.
The same problem applies when messages arrive that are marked as spam (but are ham), should they also automatically be trained as spam and then untrained as spam and re-trained as ham?
It could also be that SpamBayes is happy to only be trained when it does something wrong, rather then also when it does something right.
Where does unsure fit in?
Should the plugin do something specific to facilitate the unsure result of the SpamBayes engine?
Ideally Evolution wouls support the unsure option and make it possible to either mark the message as spam or ham (both buttons/menu-options should be active), but the message should still be delivered in the normal fashion.
An "unsure" icon in the message list (or a, maybe orange, background color in the message list), would also improve usability in my oppinion.
Conflicting with existing spam filtering plugins
Evolution apparently only supports one junk filtering plugin at the time, so you have to disable the built-in SpamAssassin plugin before the SpamBayes one will work.
Enhancements:
- Now uses Evolution 2.10.
