Using Gmail And Evolution

Since switching to Ubuntu Linux I have been using the default
email client for Linux Gnome - Evolution. I set up my account
at first using my service provider's mail service. They are
using pop for incoming mail and smtp for outgoing mail.


My service provider is not using authentications just a
password system. After giving my password I set it up
so my computer remembers my password. For outgoing
mail I set it so there is no security nor authentication too.
I chose to set security so smtp follows pop set up since
there's a choice in the options provided in the account
set up.

I decided to open a Gmail account with Google because I
recently open also an account with Bloggers.

Gmail uses a pop and smtp set up too but uses
authentication. They are using SSL. I also gave my
password to my account and set it so my computer
remembers.

There is not much difference between the two accounts
except that Gmail servers are configured by default not
to delete any mail. They are configured not to delete
anything really.

So even if I delete email in Evolution (from Gmail server)
it fetches it back again from the Gmail server like
it suppose to do.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
