Hi, here Evolution 3.12.1 has so many bugs, that I won't write tons of bug reports, but ask you to provide Evolution 3.10.4 by the Arch repository again. I Cc to upstream, since it's not the first time that upstream released a version that is completely unusable for _serious_ work. Regards, Ralf

You can use pbrisbin's downgrade script if it's such a problem. It is available in the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/). Cheers! Chris Tonkinson 610.425.7807 "Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow." -Benjamin Franklin

Thank you Chris :) I used it to downgrade to $ pacman -Q evolution evolution-data-server gnome-desktop evolution 3.10.4-1 evolution-data-server 3.10.4-1 gnome-desktop 1:3.10.2-1 Hopefully it will solve the issues. Regards, Ralf

I am an Evolution user myself. Would care to share some of the problems that you have encountered with the new version so I can take a decision to upgrade or not or simply change email client? What you say is pretty scary to me as similar experience has made me change from kmail to evolution some time ago as if I wanted to contribute by testing bleeding edge new features, I would fetch the git master version of the software. I'm expecting official releases to work reasonably well. thank you,

I needed to run killall gcr-prompter and evolution --force-shutdown because Evolution asked again and again for the password of one account, even when I didn't send or retrieve mails, it wasn't add to the keyring. Evolution kept the send and receive window after finishing all processes. Evolution never finished processes, this btw. happens after downgrading to the previous version, now for the previous version too, so downgrading to/keeping just evolution 3.10.4-1 evolution-data-server 3.10.4-1 gnome-desktop 1:3.10.2-1 doesn't solve all issues. An up to date Arch Linux [1] usually running Jwm, sometimes still running Xfce4. Cinnamon and Mate are installed too, but I don't use them.
