Not only will it connect with each newsgroup, you have no ability to limit the amount of headers that it fetches. This has been a longtime Evolution complaint & is the primary reason why I stopped using Evolution for newsgroup reading. Try subscribing to a gmane.org newsgroup like gmane.comp.openoffice.questions with a total of 151,451 messages the first time, or even this newsgroup with a total of 8597 messages, or worse yet, gmane.ubuntu.linux.user with a total of 219,950 messages. Use Thunderbird or SeaMonkey for newsgroups (and/or email); at least with those you can limit the amount of headers you wish to download. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
