Evolution - Mail looses the signature specification for an account

[Petri Kaurinkoski]

I use evolution to read my e-mail. I have three accounts defined. One for local
mail in /var/mail, another to access an IMAP server and the main one for
accessing the company Exchange-2003 server. When I define a signature to be used
with the Exchange account and restart the evolution, most things seem to go OK,
but when I start writing an e-mail message, the signature definition is 'None'.
I can select it manually from the list, but previously evolution has changed the
signature based on the selected From-address.

Could you check if all your accounts have defined signature?

Evolution -> Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> choose one account -> Edit
-> last field (Signature) should be defined. Check that for every account.

Thank you.

This happens to me in Evolution 2.2.1.1 under Hoary. I have checked all my
accounts and NONE have a signature. When I set them (on all pop/imap) but not on
exchange it seems to take. I restart Evolution and I'm back to NONE. My other
machine where I've never defined an exchange account has a default signature and
works ok.

Thanks for your bug. That seems to be the same issue as upstream

This was marked as fixed upstream in October 2005.

Petri, do you still have this problem?

[Carthik Sharma (carthik)]

Marking as fixed, since the reporter has not responded, and the Gnome fixed version is in Dapper.

Thanks.
