edit the categoy list

Asked by Paul R. Beswick

In the previous issue of Evolution I have used the "category" feature to quickly
find several contacts. The new edition doesn't allow me to sort this way. However,
I found accidentally I could edit the Category list to insert mykey words previously assigned.

However, I cannot find the procedure for editing it again

Please advise.

I'm using Evolution 2.10.1
If I right click a contact and choose "open", there is a field for categories. If I click the title for this field (that's a button), I can then choose which categories to assign to this contact, but also add/edit/delete categories using the buttons at the bottom.

Is it the same for you?

Ah ha! many thanks.

I had come across it a few weeks ago and used it and it was good
and what I wanted

I mistakenly assumed it was available from the Any Category list that
appears on the Contact search menu.

Thanks again This is a great help because I was missing a number of
contacts I formerly found using the Category key.

Another question

I'm also on 2.10.1

When I open an email across the top is a banner staring with "reply" on
the left and ending with "next" on the right.

In my earlier evolution there was also an icon for "move"

Now I have to close the email and right click to get a menu that
presents the opportunity to "Move to folder"

How can I reestablish the "move" icon choice in the banner??

Any ideas'd be appreciated.

Thanks Paul Beswick

Unfortunately, it seems that this option is gone, and that you cannot bring it back. Lack of customization in Evolution.

However, two workarounds:

-right clic the email, then you have the option to move the email. One more click though....
-faster maybe, the gooooood old keyboard shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+V and you can choose where to move it.

I don't think I have anything better to offer :)

Can you help with this problem?
