discrepancy here between // or ///, but it doesn't matter because neither works :-) > jack/ 6a61636b2f > evolution/local/Sent 65766f6c7574696f6e2f6c6f63616c2f53656e74 > > Of course, make that hex code one contiguous string and adjust the > 'jack' part if needed...

However, upon restarting Evolution, going to the account, and looking at Defaults > Sent, it says "select a folder." Selecting any folder of course resets the value to the default of "Sent in Local Folders". My request: Can any one else using evolution 1.2.4 or 1.2.4[1.1mdk] reproduce this behavior? Simple create a new account, server type none, go to defaults and change the Sent mail folder to any other folder. Click OK, then go back to tools > accounts > test account > Defaults > sent Mail and see if it stuck or is back to the default. If it can be reproduced in any 1.2.4 install, I'll file a bug under ximian, but if it's Mandrake specific I'll file the bug under Mandrake. thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... http://www.monkeynoodle.org/resume.html _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
