Losing settings

[Gnome Evolution - General mailing list]

1. When I update new settings in Calendar etc they are lost when I shut down evolution and restart it.

How can I save settings permanently please?

2. Every time I start or refresh Evolution it re-downloads all messages etc, which takes a long time.

Why cannot Evolution just update the NEW messages only (like in Thunderbird etc)?

Thank you for the wonderful Evolution. (3.22.6 version in MX Linux)

Please provide a specific example.

Which kind of email account (POP, IMAP, etc) is that about?
What does "re-download" mean? Even without opening a message?

Hard to say without more information. Could be that your mail server is
broken, or that your Evolution settings could be changed.

Just for the records, that version is many years old.

That's very suspicious. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong
with your setup. Have you changed the default location for Evolution?
Is your home directory writeable? Are there any relevant entries in the
system log?

Maybe try running Evo from the command line and looking at the terminal
output.

OK, but note that Flatpak versions run in a sandbox and may have
problems communicating with the rest of your desktop, i.e. they are
isolated from the rest of the Gnome environment.

That is impossible as 2.33.x never existed. Also, please avoid top-
posting and reply below any relevant quotes.

Thanks!,
