Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

I upgraded to Gnome 3.14 this morning and geay email would not open. everything else (after reinstalling a few extensions) seemed to work. I finally installed the geary-git package form the aur and that was able to load.

The problem for me is that the fonts in the message header column are virtually not readable they are so tiny. I have adjusted the message area with a css file in .config/geary. But I cannot find a way to adjust any other part of the interface. It works somewhat better with different themes and fonts used in gnome-tweak-tool, but only marginally.In Mint/Cinnamon on same machine they are perfect.

If anyone knows any way to make those fonts larger it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

Same issue here, geary doesn't start after updating to Gnome 3.14
I moved my email accounts in

.local/share/geary/

to another place and tried to start geary and it did start. But I don't want to re-enter my accounts credentials.
I'm using geary version 0.8.1
This is what I get when running geary from the command line, which doesn't help, I guess:

(geary:6892): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkWidget:margin-left is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

Had the same issue. Fixed it with the geary-devel package in the AUR. Is it okay to make a bugreport to get the 3.14 patch included in the [community] repo?

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

geary-devel version is 0.8.0-2 and geary in [community] is 0.8.1-1
or did you mean geary-git?

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

geary-devel has a patch for gtk-3.14. But geary-git also fixes the issue for me.

Same issue here... I solved it downloading the PKGBUILD from here , just make the package and install.

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

I reinstalled gnome and gnome extras. uninstalled geary (moving .local/share/geary s'where safe first). reinstalled geary - it now stops at the setup (after entering imap email account info) with;

"There was an error opening the local account. This is probably due to connectivity issues.
Please check your network connection and restart Geary."

There is also small dialog box with spinner saying "geary update in progress" - which never completes.

I was also having issues with viber (IM) not working - stopping with geary after the gnome update. So, its a network problem somewhere, but where??


@nashamri  Are you using an imap account?

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

geary 0.8.1-2 + config wipe (rm .local/share/geary)  solved the issue for me.

Re: Geary E-Mail client on gnome 3.14

...But not for me,,,,

What did work was installing xfce4 - ran and worked fine.
Logged out of xfce4 and back into gnome - and it still worked!
Haven't a clue but very happy again :-)
