Thanks for your reply :) ( answered this right away, but by mistake sent it only to Milan) Version: Evolution 2.24.3 Account type: POP3 Junk Folder: empty "On This Computer" folder: empty (although it does of course contain all my other folders, which themselves have mail in them) "Inbox" folder: contains old mail (transferred from my previous computer), but no new mail. I do not know what it means to "run evolution from console". Where should I look next?
