Evolution In GNOME 3.6.x

I am using Thunderbird instead of Evolution in GNOME 3.6 now. I like
GNOME 3 but it breaks. It breaks some important stuff like email. There
something wrong with it. I like that Evolution is simple but it breaks
easily-like after one week of use.

The official word is: The reported error was
"GDBus.Error:org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.Error.NotAuthorized: Invalid
password with username `username@gmail.com' (goa-error-quark, 0): Code:
401 - Unexpected response from server".

I've tried deleting some Evolution files in .cache and .conf to no
avail. I also tried re-installing and then some. Google tells me there
were others before me having the same problem. So I added my name to the
pile in launchpad.

I'm glad that Evolution is faster now. Still I want it to work too.

By the way, I'm typing this in Thunderbird

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.
