I did finally manage to get it to work. I looked at the Receiving Options in the old setup and used the same settings for Feceiving Options in the new setup. In particular, I unchecked "Check for new messages in all folders" and "Apply filters to news messages in INBOX on this server", and that fixed the problem. I think it was the first of these that did it. When I get a chance, I will try to figure out just what all the Receiving Options do and so do what I want by intention rather than by rote. -- Leonard Evens [email protected] Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
