I'll drink to that :-) I use Evo on a laptop, Evo on a desktop, MacOS Mail on another laptop and Mozilla on another desktop (on Windows ;-), and IMP webmail from all of them, so keeping all the filters in sync is a bore. A nice interface to Sieve would be just the ticket, though it wouldn't cover the virtual folder stuff which is a big win with Evo. > > I've seen a lot of examples of shitty IMAP servers causing problems with > > Evo on this list so if anyone (especially Jeff or Not Zed) have a > > preferred server, please let me know. > > I actually have a feeling that the IMAP code in Evolution is just > reaching maturity. I could be wrong, but i've seen issues with Evo on > IMAP servers where other clients worked fine. Me too. I get hangs (permanent, dead-in-the-water, UI alive but no mail traffic) several times a day. I'm seriously thinking of putting "evolution --force-shutdown" in a desktop button. This is Fedora RC1, KDE 3.2, Cyrus IMAP. And it's not just a slow server: I frequently get so fed with Evo doing this that I run Thunderbird for light relief. It starts instantly and never hangs (same server, same account), though it does crash occasionally and I don't like the UI much. And in case anyone asks, I bother with Evo because even with the freezes it's still the best GUI-based mail client around. I complain not because I hate it but because I like it. Sorry for rambling.
