How to see mails sent by me in Evolution

evolution

I can't find a setting the makes Evolution display messages sent by me in thread view. I can find them in Sent folder, but I'd like them to be part of the normal threads.

You will need a couple of steps. Enable the threaded folder view with Ctrl+T. Then set "Include threads: all related" in the search folder configuration.

If you are using an SMTP server other than Gmail's you may need a further hack. You could bcc yourself at a plus extension of your Gmail address; something like "+threaded", then configure the external Evolution accounts to "Always bcc to" this address.

There is a detailed walk-through of this approach by Matt McCutchen on his blog.

I solved editing ~/.config/evolution/accels , removing the initial ";" and specifying the new shortcut. Evolution must be closed, since it apparently rewrite the file on closure.

Reverse order of email thread folding in Evolution

This is an old question, but I've just figured this out myself and could not find any information on this in Evolution's documentation.

In order to have the emails in a thread sorted by date (descending) you can set the sort order of the mail list view to date (descending) and run the following command.

gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail thread-children-ascending false

This setting will sort thread children using the same sort order as configured for the thread root level instead of always sorting them ascending.

From the gsettings description:

$ gsettings describe org.gnome.evolution.mail thread-children-ascending
This setting specifies whether the thread children should be sorted always ascending, rather 
than using the same sort order as in the thread root level.
