How did the Claws-mail experiment work out. I am thinking of changing. Evolution has too many nit-picky things that never seem to get fixed. Re-vacuumed. This time the expunged files disappeared for 24 hours. hmmm As I look at the items, they are all dated middle of May to end of July. On average, for me, there should be 8,000 -10,000 emails trashed in that time period -- not just the same 256 that keep reappearing. I wonder why most are being expunged but a few are not? I am getting fed-up. This evening I am going to dig into the guts of and see if I can manually remove those files. If I destroy something along the way I will just remove Evolution and try either Thunderbird or Claws-mail. Too bad I have been using Evolution for four or five years and I kind of like it in an old ripped T-shirt kind of way. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 22.3.1 _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
