Since you asked... ;) Evo+IMAP seems not to scale well when folders get more than 5000ish emails. Time-to-open a folder takes an IMO inordinate amount of time scanning all the headers. Vitals: - Debian Unstable (up to date, GNOME 2.10) - Evo 2.2.2-2 - Courier IMAP 3.0.8-4 - linux kernel 2.6.11 - Maildir folders on a reiserfs partition of a 7200RPM IDE HDD -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
