Guenther,

Thanks a lot - you have indeed cleared several issues for me! Here's the bit that's 
left:

This is quite horrible.
In pine you had an extra header line on every outgoing mail where you could choose 
which folder the mail went to (sent/specific/nowhere).
This makes a lot more sense to me than forcing one to have only auto-filters :(
(btw pine would allow you to attach a default folder per recipient name, but you could 
change that per e-mail)

I currently find this the single bothering short-coming of evolution :-(
Any idea anyone whether this is going to be addressed at some point?
Anywhere I should file a request at?

I have only one mailbox - my work one.
I was hoping to hold a single file of contacts, and a single calender on my work 
machine, and have my home machine access and modify these - much as my home machine 
handles the mail sitting on my work machine from home.

I'll read through that thread later today.

pleasent surprise!
just to make sure - if i upgrade the rpm from 1.2 to 1.4  none of my preferences gets 
clobbered. right?
(ill also check the bi-dir then..)

Thx,

PS 

> > ? I've tried with no luck to import my pine addressbook.

Here's what I was doing wrong:
I have no mail on my home machine.
I copied the addressbook file from my work machine
to home and then tried to import that.
Only when I renamed it to the exact name used by pine (.addressbook) was the file 
auto-detected, and pulled in without a hitch.
The kind folks may want to beef up the documentation a bit there..
