Evo keeps cached copies of your emails. Do you delete the mails off the IMAP server as fetch them? Another thing is: how many emails do you have in Inbox? I have a Maildir folder with 5,900 emails in it, and Evo never squawks. Moving emails to sub-folders would eliminate having to open all emails at once. -- Ron Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
