Evolution email is a pig...

[dougalkerr]

I decided to finally give Evolution a go since it comes on the Applications list. I have left off doing this for a long time and have always used the slightly more awkward route to external email clients.
I used my gmail account and all seemed to go smoothly however, I don't know what I did but, I get emails from what looks like everyone that has a problem or comment about Evolution and can't stop them coming through to my gmail account. I have managed to filter some into the Junk folder but...

I have tried to contact the email list admin but I am unsure if I used the correct method b simply picking up the email list bounces address off one of the emails.
Now when I tried sending an email to the list admin today from Evolution I find my password is not accepted so I can't send an email.
What a disaster.
I am very used to using email clients as I have to configure the client at work for other users when asked and I use four other email clients but, Evolution is proving to be a pig.
If anyone know how to contact the Evolution list providers direct please let me know and I will email them from another client to have myself removed from the list.

Thanks.

You complain about an e-mail client because you are subscribed to some list that sends you e-mails?

You don't provide any details of what the list is, or how - for some reason - your "password" is stopping you sending e-mails.

Unbelievable.

Sounds to me like your problem is subscribing somewhere along the line to a mailing list.

If that is not your problem then your post needs to be made clearer i am afraid.

Though there seems to be an elitist following of mail clients and people will argue the points between thunderbird, evolution and the like i personally use Evolution to manage many accounts, 4 of which are gmail and it works flawlessly and fast and never like a pig.

As for the password issue, re-enter your correct pasword into the account settings to make sure.

If all else fails login to the webmail and send the mail to remove from the list ?
