Morning all,
In the date field while viewing emails, it shows the time in 24 hour time instead of 12 hour time with am/pm. I have went into any preferences and made sure the two settings that have time in them are correct and what I want, but no affect. And my clock on my desktop is 12 hour time like it should be.
Also, and this has happened in most/all of F12 testing, is that when either importing an address book or doing a complete restore when starting evo for the first time, when you go to do a new email and click on the to button to find an address book, it shows them as double entries. Although if you do use one, it removes both of them from the selection.
Anyone else?

I recollect that Evolution used to display times in am/pm format, but mine is now displaying in 24 hour format (which I happen to prefer).
One thing I have noticed though is that "yesterday" shown in the Date column in table format seems to be two days (i.e. on 13th September all emails received on both the 12th and 11th September are shown as yesterday), and the "2 days ago" etc are all one day out.

see my reply to Mike for the preferences entry.

I noticed this too, but failed to track the cause of it. Could you file a bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org for investigation, please? My first walk through the code didn't seem to indicate any logical issue, but there is some, obviously. Bye, Milan

I take this back, the bug is there and fixed already, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594609

which preference did you use, please? There is a new option in 2.27.9x, the Edit->preferences->Mail Preferences->Headers->Date and time format. Use "%ad %I:%M %p" in a "Table column" fields, instead of the predefined "%ad %H:%M". if wondering, it uses strftime format specifiers, plus that "%ab", which is specific for Evolution.

Although if you do use one, it removes both of them from the selection.
I didn't see this myself, do I understand it correctly that this is doing contact doubling only once, just after import of a new address book or after the restore? Maybe file a bug in https://bugzilla.gnome.org and continue a discussion there (send here a bug URL). Bye, Milan

Found the preference and that fixed it (the above part).

After both, either after a restore or after importing a .cvf (?) file of your address book. I can send a new email, click on "to" button, and see them doubled when you go to choose who to send the email too. BUT, if you look in the address book itself (via view/window/contacts), there is just one entry. So in other words, it's on doubled when you go to send an email and want to add someone from your address book.
Understand what I am referring to?

Hi, yes, I do understand now. I tried even without import and it seems to double contacts from the default address book. When I change addressbook forth and back then it stops doubling them.
I found an upstream bug for that, see [1]
Thanks and bye, Milan
