User Tips On Evolution Mail [4]

This is the fourth of a series of blog posts on Evolution Mail.

I happen to like Evolution Mail's user interface.

The left panel is the email list and the right panel is the email itself. This is the vertical view of the main email window. If you hit the F9 key the email folders are revealed on the left side.

When you want to read emails, go to Mail mode and the keyboard shortcut for that is Cntrl + 1. Make sure the email list is the focus. If you want to view or read the email on its own window, type Cntrl + O. Use the spacebar to move a page down. Use the Backspace key to move one page up. Pressing the spacebar when you are on the last page of the email will move you to the next unread email. These will happen even if the next unread email is on another folder.

Evolution Mail doesn't download images automatically by default. There are privacy issues in automatically downloading images so use your own judgement. You can download images manually for each email with Cntrl + I.

You can mark emails as read with Cntrl + K. If you want to mark it back as unread just type Cntrl + Shift + K. Okay?

If you want to reply to the current email, type Cntrl + R.

Last but not the least you can always ask a friend in a GNOME desktop environment by invoking the Help key, the F1 key.

Mailvelope, Encryption for Webmail

Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.

Donald Trump Is The 45th President of the United States

and he is preparing to move with his transition team into the Oval Office. His election is a shock to many political observers and the world in general. Donald Trump, the president-elect, ran against Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and for many the most qualified candidate for the presidency in many years. This has led to many post election analysis of how this upset happened. The numbers of votes for each candidate and the comparisons with previous presidential elections point to the fact that the white vote for Mr. Trump is solid all throughout but the minority and black votes did not come for Mrs. Clinton. This is what happened in crucial States like Michigan and Florida. The Republicans kept Congress and the Senate. It is quite notable that Russia and in particular, Vladimir Putin, is happy that they are going to talk to Mr. Trump rather than Mrs. Clinton. It is also a ...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
