What feature? This is the way IMAP works, it's not a feature of Evo.

Anyway, 2.6 was released a few days ago so I doubt you'll see any changes to 2.2 aside from bug fixes. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
