Good morning (at least out here on Vancouver Island!) Evolution steadfastly holds mail after it is read or marked as spam, but does not remove the transferred mail from the /var/spool/mail/ folders after having done so.
I am in the habit of doing a cat /dev/null on the /var/spool/mail/[user] to trigger a 'no mail' flag on the bottom tool bar. There is, of course, a chance of destroying an incoming unread message, but experience has shown me that is rather unlikely. Once incoming mail is copied to evolution's folders, or as it is being copied, is there not a provision somewhere to remove the /var/mail/spool/[user] contents to avoid this manual intercession? Not an earth-shaking problem, but it would be nice to have it fully automated. I have learned to trust and 'love' evolution, so I would not fear delegating my god-like root powers. (Please note the lower case 'g' is intentional!) Thanks, and have a rewarding day. George -- G.
