Weird, it should actually always check for new mail too when you do that.

Its a bit ugly, but actually at the moment thats how things are done if you want to access the top-level folder (!). Thats because it needs to have a path in the ui, and we can't attach the folder to the 'account name'. About the only other thing I could think of was to put everything under an 'Inbox', but that messes up a few things internally (and i was lazy that day) and is still a bit confusing to the user. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
