When the IMAP backend gets rewritten it will hopefully manage to distinguish between background actions and user-driven actions. It's very suboptimal that we make the user wait for the new message text while we're doing other stuff that should be purely _background_ processing -- checking for mail in new folders and downloading the multi-megabyte .tar.gz attachment just to double-check it _really_ is an application/octet-stream being two prime examples which often have me fire up pine to continue reading email, and come back to Evo when it's finished doing whatever it's doing. Hint: Run Evo with CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 in a terminal. It's no faster but at least you can see what it's doing while it's ignoring you and making your blinkenlights flash wildly, and it's hence slightly less frustrating :) -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
