I'm currently on 2.5.90, but I've done this with every previous version of Evo, at least back to 2.0 and probably back to the 1.x series (can't remember). The "receiving options" are set to "secure connection: always", the sending options to "secure connection: never" (because I send through an ISP that doesn't support SSL), but I don't think the sending options matter for the copy since it's not done via SMTP. This is pure speculation of course, since none of it is documented AFAIK. One thing you might try is to "Post" a message to your Sent folder (Message->Post ...). If that works I would expect the copy to work also, and if it fails you might get some idea of why, but I'm not an Evo hacker and am just reaching here. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
