Agree, that problem is only going to regularly beset a configuration that doesn't make sense. A mail store, like any concurrently accessibly database, is going to "suffer" from last-writer-wins, and such behavior falls under the same concept. Deleted is deleted; nothing is at fault. > Or use a local Maildir.

I suppose more that they are unfixable; if someone wants sane concurrent access -> use a server, in this case IMAP. Modern IMAP servers are pretty darn robust [Dovecot, Cyrus, etc...] An error when unable to retrieve a message that was in the most recent /LIST is reasonable - that's a real problem. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:[email protected]> GPG D95ED383 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
