How Do I Get Mail Sent To Me From This Forum Re-routed Out Of My Spam Folder?

I am considering using Evolution email so I can use a new email address.
Can anyone please say if it is safe and secure?
It would be good to know if it is popular among linux users.

Also, I would like to receive emails from other companies like Amazon or ebay. But will I then get loads of spam emails like on my current email?
Thank you in advance.

I'm running Xubuntu and it was a challenge just getting Copy.com on there. (I installed the desktop app on both of my computers.) Now that I have it though, I don't really know how to use it.

I know this is kind of more a Copy.com question, but I don't know anything about Copy.com (besides having it--lol) and besides, I like you LQ guys.

So yeah, I installed the desktop app for Copy.com on both of my computers. I know that if I put something in the Copy folder that will be available to both computers.

But how Copy does the backing up I don't know.

When I change a file or folder do I have to plop that into the Copy folder every time or does Copy somehow update the file or folder in the Copy folder automatically? (It doesn't seem to.)

Okay, when I, say, take the Documents folder from one computer and plop it into the Copy folder that's that. Then I take the Documents folder from the other computer and plop that into the Copy folder, then all the files from both folders will be in the Copy folder (and the Copy cloud), right?

Now I just removed a couple of files from a folder and copied and pasted the folder into the Copy folder. But then when I looked at the Copy folder the files I'd deleted were still there. What's the process? How does it work?

I mean, how does this work as a way of backing things up AND organizing things? To me it seems like a decent way of throwing stuff into the Copy folder (and cloud), but how is that different than Google Drive? I mean, that's not really a backup, is it? It's like a flash drive in the cloud.

And when I combined the same folders (with the same titles anyway, but they each had different files within them) from the two computers I'd expected each folder on each computer to have all the same files that were cumulatively on both. Instead, they're the same. And the cumulative is only on the Copy folder.

I like the notion of just throwing the folders and files into the Copy folder. It's much quicker than Google Drive. But the backing up feature eludes me and the syncing feature makes me fearful that I'll lose data or that the files will become hopelessly less organized.

Thanks.

To prevent spamming your awesome forum, and to most efficiently find an answer to my problem, should I post my problem in the hardware or software sub-forum?

I am having a problem with a new video card I installed: The nvidia driver for my GTX 570 will not load properly. Because it is a new video card and prevents me from using my monitor properly, I feel like it should go in 'hardware'. On the other hand, because it is a driver problem, I feel like it should go in 'software'.

Because I don't have much experience in this forum, I wasn't sure and thought it would be best to ask for now as well as future reference.

Thank you in advance!

I switched from Win to Linux a couple years back and am a happy camper!

I've worked with Linux in the past, but mostly Windows. Perhaps someone can explain what I am seeing. This isn't a Linux OS, but Tomcat running under Windows. I'm thinking Linux rules apply here, but if this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.

I've got an app that runs under Tomcat. I needed to modify an XML config file to change a variable. The path was \app\tomcat\webapps\asset-manager-web\WEB-INF\am\conf\settings. The file was configParams.xml.

To protect myself from messing things up, I first made a copy of configParams.xml and named it configParams-ORIG.xml. I left this in the same folder as the file I was going to edit. I made the required edits and restarted the application service. The app never recognized the changes. Finally, I moved the configParams-ORIG.xml file to another folder, restarted, and everything worked.

Can someone explain why this is? I do this in Windows all the time. Why does having that original file, renamed, in the same folder cause a problem?

So am at my home folder and I want to delete an unempty folder without changing directories.....what command line do I use for that

I am running Ubuntu 14. in virtual box on a early 2008 imac. I have a shared folder on my imac and have the Ubuntu Public folder shared.

The problem is Ubuntu can not see the imac folder and the imac can not see the Ububtu\Public folder.

I'm running Arch with i3. I'm trying to config xterm and realized that I didn't have a .Xdefaults file in my home directory. I saw in a forum that someone did

Code:

$ cd ~
$ touch ~.Xdefaults

I did that and it made a .Xdefaults file in my home folder but it is empty and I don't know what to do.
