Hi, I figured it out. I had somehow inadvertently clicked the offline button on the bottom left of the main window. Normally when you do that, the send/receive button becomes disabled, but for some reason it wasn't disabled. I hadn't been aware that I was in offline mode, and Evolution sure didn't give me a clue.
I would suggest to the developers that when someone clicks the offline button, you should put up a message box telling them that that's what they did. I was baffled by it, and I got my CS degree ten years ago, I'm hardly a newbie! cheers MD On Sat, 2005-08-13 at 15:33 +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I had that problem too with an evolution 2.2.2-4 on SARGE.
