Installation / Re: Error in installing 22.12

I've used a variety of USB sticks and keys without experiencing any issues. size varying from 4GB to 16GB. In general, I don't use more than 16GB for jobs like these. The mistake occurred when I tried it on two separate PCs as well.

In the meantime I`ve found an acceptable solution. Installing the Flatpak version of Betterbird works since this DOES have a tray notification for new mail and it works with the KDE desktop.

There is no output in the terminal on start. Evolution just starts as normal. Closing it again though generates this in terminal.

(evolution:2215): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 04:32:06.332: Your application did not unregister from D-Bus before destruction. Consider using g_application_run().

On checking, no I can`t see the gnome-keyring-daemon running in the list of services so guess this seems to be where the problem lies.

Entering that as a command in terminal generates this.

gnome-keyring-daemon: no process capabilities, insecure memory might get used
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh

What do you see as output on the console when you start evolution from the console.?

Is gnome-keyring-daemon running ?

Yes, but I had already done that.

Make sure gnome-keyring is installed

Have subsequently found that Evolution is not remembering the GMX password and asks for it every time.

Thanks.

Yes, I don't think Birdtray is being maintained any more and to my knowledge stopped working with all functions after Thunderbird 91.

I've seen some posts relating this to an issue with Wayland although the suggested fixes are complicated and the results very hit and miss. I guess the solution is for another developer to pick up the code and re-write it although I appreciate this might involve a lot of work for the potentially small group of users it might benefit.

Fixing Evolution would be my wish.

Will have a look
Birdtray seems to be very old version. (2020)

For various reasons I need to use Evolution as my mail client although I prefer the KDE desktop. This hasn't been an issue until I just installed the KDE version of 23.02.01. As normal I made sure the new system was up to date then installed Evolution using Cards. I use two accounts, one Gmail and one GMX both setup as POP. The GMX account is fine but the Gmail account returns an error.

"Failed to authenticate on POP server pop.gmail.com: createDLGroup failed: maybe libqca-ossl is missing"

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thunderbird is not an option since I need to see a permanent notification for unread mail, Birdtray is not available for NuTyX and unless something has changed it doesn't work anyway with the latest version of Thunderbird.
