I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 15.10.

Each time you try to address a mail there you will get that error mail returned (and yes, that will happen even if you'd use a different mail client). Check your contacts whether one with a @birdvilleschools.net mail has the mail address matching that wron address; the chars "; are not allowed in a mail address. –Izzy Jan 27 at 6:16 Thanks Izzy. That gives me a better idea of what is going on. I've looked for that persons contact and it d

hadn't had any new emails since Friday, so I logged into gmail to double check and found that it just wasn't downloading in evolution for https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1272809.html some reason. I was still able to send email, though. I searched for an answer and tried a bunch of things, and nothing worked. In fact, I made it http://osdir.com/ml/evolution-list/2009-11/msg00133.html worse because now I can't send email either. I'm going to assume that whatever the original problem was doesn't matter, so right now I'm only going to discuss what evolution error is currently happening: - I've checked\\recreated my email account preferences a million times and i think that the settings are fine - it's linked up to one email account: my gmail (POP). - the test email i tried to send is still in the outbox. - when i click send\\receive, i get this message: Error while performing operation. MAIL evolution error while FROM command failed: Authentication Required. Learn more at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 9sm599083agc.16 - the link in the error message didn't work for me though - I don't think it's a problem with my gmail settings b/c 1) my email was working fine for a long time before this problem occurred, and 2) I checked it out and everything looks right to me. any help would be awesome. I will be around for the next hour or so (6-630 pm EST) if you need further information and I will be back online a couple hours after that. thanks! natasha kerry_sSeptember 22nd, 2009, 10:59 PMError while performing operation.

Hi, even it's called cache, and there is some effort to move it to ~/.cache, then the remote calendars like CalDAV have there the local cache of the remote calendar, and when you delete it, then next start it'll fetch the whole calendar, instead of just items which changed. Though if your users ask for that, then that's their choice. I never heard about lost contact. Might be because evolution-data-server was running, having opened the cache file and you made changes there meanwhile. Hard to tell when your reporter is not willing to tell you what address book he is using. Just be sure you'll stop all evolution related processes before making any change in the ~/.evolution directory (or in evolution related files). Otherwise strange things can happen. (Evolution related processes are basically all having name "evolution*".)
