Enable spell check in Evolution 2.2x on a Debian installation

Posted by haytham - 24/12/05 at 09:12:36 am

To enable spell check in your favorite mail client, Evolution (2.2.3 while writing this blog) few packages should be apt-getted

apt-get update

Here I want to enable US English spell check, here are the packages you need to fetch:
apt-get install aspell-en gnome-spell aspell libaspell15 ispell myspell-en-us

After this is done open up Evolution -> Edit -> Preferences -> Composer Preferences -> Spell Checking -> Check the language you want to enable -> Check “Check spelling while I type” -> Choose a color -> Close and you’re done.

Enjoy!
