I backed up my Evolution settings from my old PC to transfer them to my new one ; everything worked fine, except that I cannot send emails : Evolution keeps asking for my password and never sends the email. I checked countless times my account / smtp settings AND my password, they are good ; I even made Evolution forget my password with seahorse, nothing changes : I cannot send any email. What can I do, any idea ?
Edit : nevermind, it was just a wrong password...

And if I try to send en email with my other account, I get this :
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Invalid page ID: 22

Got the same yesterday, restarting Evolution helped. Not sure, I think I updated Arch while Evolution was running, maybe some component required here got updated. I haven't investigated deeper, though.

Hi,
there is no problem with running Evolution while updating it. A problem is, that closing it and then starting the updated version of evolution does result in a broken mixture of the outdated and updated Evolution.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ps aux | grep evolution ### before closing Evolution

Before an user can start an updated Evolution, it's required to kill all remaining processes. It's intended that Evolution doesn't terminate those processes, since they might be used by other GNOME applications.
Since I'm not using a desktop environment at all, I can kill the processes by command line, it might be no good idea to do this, if other apps require them, maybe at least GNOME users might need to finish the user's session and to restart it.
As you can see, after killing them, nothing automatically restarts them on my machine. Maybe it's not risky to terminate them, even when using GNOME and perhaps the apps that need them, would restart them, as soon as they are needed.
However, for quite a while Evolution suffers from a few hickups on my machine.
For example, very often auto-saving and manually saving doesn't work, it results in "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Invalid page ID:", sometimes pasting text from the clipboard doesn't work, while the clipboard never fails for any other app.
Regards,
Ralf
