This may be exactly the problem. It would be more helpful if you mentioned what version of Evo you're using and what operating system/version you're running it on. Evo's IMAP support is pretty sub-optimal in this situation, because it doesn't push back attribute changes to the IMAP server unless you exit Evo or go into offline mode before you leave for work or home (IIRC). Unfortunately, offline mode is flaky in Exchange; if I go offline then back online my calendar does not notify me of appointments anymore and new mail does not appear in my summary window; I have to exit/restart Evo. But if I leave them both running then my spam filtering is flaky and messages I've marked as deleted in one instance don't appear as deleted in the other instance. I don't do a lot of filtering on my IMAP mailbox (at the moment) but I'm sure I'd have similar issues if I did. I can understand that they don't want Evo pushing back for every minor tweak of the local data, but it should do something more intelligent than what it currently does. What I'd love to see is for Evo to push outstanding attribute changes to the server after it's been idle for some amount of time, like 5 minutes or so. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
