I think doing an expunge on the folder is the most reliable way. > 2) I don't seem to be able to use subfolders. I have existing > subdirectories which evolution doesn't seem to see.

It was already reported, i was supposed to look at it last week but it skipped my mind. As a workaround you could try selecting the 'use .folders file' in the account receiving options for the mh thing, and then setup the .folders file at the top level of the mh tree to include all the (relative) paths to the folder directories. That more or less seems to work around the problem for me. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
