Long time evernote user since the app was first released.  Have loved it since then and been a paying user and apologist for EN with friends and family.  Haven't been on the forums for a while but v10 finally has worn me down.  It's unusable.  I never contemplated leaving EN in the past but have now exported all my notes and moved to Joplin.   Sure, it's open source and has some flaws but it has a simple, clean interface.  No feature bloat.  Finally, I'm able to use markdown natively in the app and any editor that I want to.   The web clipper to me does a great job and provides simple way to capture and tag content from the web.  A couple issues I had with being able to scan into the app and email into the app were resolved with open-source solutions.  I can store my data wherever I want to including Dropbox or even Nextcloud on my home NAS.  I can finally implement end-to-end encryption.   It's been a great run with EN but time to move on.    Hard to believe a company would release such a disastrous upgrade and force long-time loyal users off their platform.

Thanks for those tips.  I'll give that a try and see how that works for me. 

Another trick I found was to use the companion program gnsync, I put this in my crontab

gnsync --path /home/stephen/texfiles --mask "*.tex" --logpath /home/stephen/gnlogs.log -t

That puts a synchronized directory that does a two-way sync with evernote every 5 minutes and keeps everything up to date so I can work on the files in evernote or on my linux desktop with vim.

Yes, I was able to get in contact with support via chat and they approved the request within minutes.  Very helpful of them.  Thanks.

Ok, I guess that makes sense.  I thought the web form was a form of support ticket but never got a response.  Maybe using the general support ticket would be better than the forum.

I sent a request to activate a developer api token last week through the web forms and another one this morning.  I have not heard back from developer support.  I want to get a key to use the GeekNote app for command line access to evernote.   From what I can see on thewebsite for the github fork of Geeknote, I need to request a developer token from evernote support.   The webpage last week said to expect a response within 24-48 hours.  Is there another wait to get in touch to get access to a developer token for geeknote for my account?  Thanks!

Alright, this should be fixed. It's possible you'll see your missing emails pop up, so let us know if/when you do. If they don't appear, try to resend the emails, but this issue should be fixed. Thanks all for reporting!

As I rely on e-mail forwarding quite a bit in my daily activities and is one of my main uses of Evernote, I think a little more explanation than this is warranted about the cause of this and steps being taken to detect/prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Still not working for me. Sent email to account 15 min ago and did not appear in my EN account.

Has anyone else had an issue with forwarding emails to themselves from gmail, aol and outlook?

I noticed this morning that several e-mails that I forwarded to my EN account were not showing up. I have sent several since then to try to reproduce the problem and these e-mails never appeared in my account either. Never had a problem before with lost forwarded e-mails.

The benefits (compared with Windows)

- The biggest thing I like is that I can hide some notebooks. I hide my personal notebooks at work, and my work notebooks at home. I also close older notebooks that I seldom use so I don't need to hunt through them unless I need them.

- It can index RTF, ODF, RTF, & MS Office documents as well as PDF documents. I've never done an in-depth analysis on how well it does, but it seems to work most of the time.

- You can encrypt the database, but under Linux this isn't a big deal since you can encrypt your entire home directory.

- You don't need an Evernote account to use it (although I'd highly recommend it since this is beta software).

- Shared notebooks are not in a separate tab, but are integrated along with your normal notebooks. It gets a little odd because of some of the restrictions but it allows you to search shared & non-shared notebooks at the same time.

- You can copy an existing note (although the current version has a bug with this that is fixed in the next release).

- You can do a selective sync and only pull down notes based upon their tag or notebook. This is rather new and it is useful if you have a work PC that you don't want to keep personal information on or if you are constrained on disk space.

Sounds like it has some nice features. I'll check it out. I can confirm that the Evernote client on Linux under Wine does run a lot slower than the Windows client running natively. It has some minor quirks. I don't use it as my primary interface for Evernote though so it doesn't bother me to much. It's nice to be able to access it on Linux when I need to; however, the new Web client is looking very nice and I may just end up using that when I need to use Evernote on Linux.

I have been using the latest Evernote build on Ubuntu 10.10 without any problems. What (if any) are the significant advantages of using the Nevernote client as opposed to the Evernote client with Wine?
