Ahhh... I see the problem. > In fact, the current implementation in Evolution is that if you have > that option turned off, subscribing to folders makes no difference at > all.

I found I have a nifty little problem here; I have "check for new mail" set to 1 minute, and it takes umm a minute or more to check for mail... Evo does not behave well. It gets sluggish, read-next-message (read or unread) takes > 5 seconds. It's awful. I just installed RH9, upgraded from 7.3, nahh, that can't have anything to do with it... :-) Seriously, I think there's a change in IMAPs that's making things behave differently (read: worse). (I only upgraded to RH9 because a project I'm working on requires the latest-and-greatest python as *default*. Whatever happened to backwards compatibility, continuity, etc? Never mind me, I'm ranting.) _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
