My experience is actually the opposite. I use exclusively IMAP folders. I have over 10 IMAP accounts with over 40 folders. I move e-mail between each of them all the time. Some of these folders contain thousands of messages. I haven't experienced any major problems with Evolution and IMAP. The IMAP server I am using is Courier-IMAP which uses Maildir as a store. One point that might be important is that the access to my IMAP server is over a LAN.
Just wanted to share my experience with you. It might not be an Evolution issue after all. Regards Pascal On Fri, 2001-10-05 at 13:49, Ujwal S.
