Can anyone tell me how to proceed?
I'm not sure how this question relates to my post, to which it's attached.
I don't know what evolution recovery is, and I don't understand what
an "Evolution address" would be, as opposed to a "non-Evolution address".
I can only suppose that these "messages" you talk about are actually
pieces of information stored in some IMS part of evolution. Otherwise
you'd just read them from the server with your regular MUA, mutt,
rather than worrying about losing them?
David,
By "evolution recovery" I mean restoration of the proper function of
the Evolution package. Recovery = Repair = Restore Access
I have been led to believe that "message" is the proper term for an
email communication; the venacular is "email". Logging into my
account at HostGator shows a few dozen emails awaiting retrieval.
My email has been working without trouble for years. I am getting
old, and I do not know off the top of my head how to use Mutt to
retrieve those emails. Of course, those messages are formatted in
HTML, which is why they were sent to the address which I have been
accessing with Evolution (that address is
mail...@alysonwonderland.org).
I once made a living programming computers, but nowadays my computer
is an appliance which facilitates the accomplishment of other tasks.
Obviously, my preference is to get Evolution working right, without
the necessity of spending two or three days reinstalling Debian. And
if reinstallation is necessary, I am not sure I would choose Evolution
as my client for HTML mail.
