Actually, I do have 2 accounts I use IMAP on... My old AOL screename, which really, all I get is junk mail there. No one really emails me there anymore, everyone uses my domain address now. I only keep that account around for the just in case someone contacts me that doesn't have my domain email address, but still had my old AOL screename on fire. I also have a @MSN.COM email address which I use for my domain host's emails for infomation / emergency contact infomation. I only have that account because my host provider requires you to have a seperate address in case I ever get hacked and cannot get to my [email protected] address. My domain host can contact me at that MSN address. The only reason I use IMAP for those two accounts is because I don't want emails from those accounts mixing in with my domain emails. I have folders for all email that comes to my domain. And my MSN and AOL have their own folders for their stuff since they're imap. I was going to go pop on everything until I read on the Evolution Q and A website that Evo only uses 1 folder set for pop accounts. Where in Thunderbird each account gets its own set of folders. But, thunderbird can be set like Evolution to only use one set of folders. My GMAIL is automatically picked up by my domain because, all I use it for is Youtube notifications. And on your question of why don't I just use IMAP for everything.... Well, you're answer is..... Pop3 ain't broke... So it doesn't need fixing. :) Also, I have been using pop for YEAAARS.... And yes, I will admit, I had a few tragedies along the way of corrupted email files, total loss of all emails. But knock on wood that hasn't happened in quite a few years Chris _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
