Trying to Get Evolution Mail Back in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I have been using Evolution Mail uninterrupted for three years in Arch.
I posted that upon installing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I learned that
Thunderbird is the default email app. Now I'm trying to get Evolution
back in my daily tools. Installing it in Ubuntu 20.04 is no problem. I
tend to use the terminal and issue the "apt" command to install
packages. It is now sitting in my desktop and downloading my emails. I
need to get my openPGP keys too.

The backends are alread there. The calendars, and the todos are already
working and being used in the desktop reminders. Okay so no fuss.

Contacts are working automatically.

I am composing the first message and it is in plain text. But let me
try this first. I don't want to change defaults unless it is
necessary.

I'm inserting an image to test embedding images inline. Okay the
default seems "to attach" it. But I'll go with it and then eyeball the
result in the blog itself. I have no problem doing it the Evolution way
this time.

Sending this to my blog.

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.

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.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
