[Bug 782821] New: Evolution mail accounts settings regularly reset
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782821 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782821#c0 Summary: Evolution mail accounts settings regularly reset Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Evolution AssignedTo: bnc-team-evolution@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mike.catanzaro@gmail.com QAContact: lakhil@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.22+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/17.0.963.56 Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.22+ SUSE/12.2 (3.4.2) Epiphany/3.4.2 I consider this one of the most annoying bugs in openSUSE: All of my settings in Preferences -> Mail Accounts are semi-regularly reset to the defaults when starting Evolution. This seems to happen about once or twice every week or so (but twice today!). I have noticed that sometimes Evolution takes a very long time to load before this happens. But sometimes it happens when Evolution starts normally, as well. This occurred on both 12.1 and 12.2 (with default versions of Evolution). I generally use Gnome Online Accounts to set up my Evolution accounts, but this has occurred when I manually set up accounts as well. Reproducible: Sometimes I'd be glad to provide logs if requested, or debug info if it's reasonable for a casual user to help with that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This issue does not occur on Evolution 3.6.
But I do think I've noticed a pattern as to when it occurs in Evolution 3.4.4: my settings seem to be reset when Gnome Online Accounts loses connectivity. But again, this has happened even when not using GOA for "Mail".
I think I'm wrong - I think it is entirely a GOA bug. I turned off all my GOA mail accounts a month ago and added them to Evolution manually, and haven't had an issue since. (In reply to comment #3)
It happens to my system also. Evolution starts as it was first run. For me the cure is: killall gconfd-2. It works each time but it is still annoying.
Are you getting the setup tutorial each time you start Evolution? If so, that's different from this bug. The only settings that are reset in this bug are "Mail Preferences" - all of the other settings and data are kept just fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My problem is not directly connected to evolution. It happens sometimes and evolution trying to setup accounts is one of the symptoms. The other are: - unable to run gnome-terminal - firefox displaying message that it cannot find settings probably there are others but i did not hunt for them. It looks like problem with gconfd-2 since killing it cures all symptoms (evolution opens my account, firefox did not complain at start, gnome-terminal starts as usual. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
