This sounds like an imap server issue. Evolution downloads multipart messages in separate chunks; using the imap protocol probably a bit heavier than many other clients (and often for no benefit, but i digress ...).
I suggest: - open a bug (there is probably one already there but if you can't find it with a quick search, its not that important). - run evolution-mail with CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 set, then run evolution - send a new message with an attachment - click on it in your imap account to view/download it - exit evolution Attach the message in the sent folder (i.e. the original message) to the bug. And attach the output of evolution-mail from when the new message was delivered/viewed via imap. there should be a BODY command followed by bunch of fetch commands and results. If in doubt, just attach everything (search/replace any sensitive data, like email addresses). On Thu, 2003-02-27 at 23:15, Tracy A.
