If you ever get a chance to read RFC2060 you'll understand.
Sorry for being ignorant, but that still doesn't prohibit from regularily changing to the INBOX and really opening it, doing the work and switching back to the previous open folder. Maybe you want to say that it would be a problem performance wise? What would happen when I run a script that (using imapfilter for example) would connect as a daemon to the IMAP server and doing the filtering while evo is running? Would evo go havoc? > Evolution will eventually support sieve, but seeing as how hardly any > imap implementations actually support sieve, I don't see it as something > important to have asap. Yes, I know... I hope this will become some kind of standard in the future. By the way, has exchange something comparable to sieve? maybe it would help may people if this would be supported. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
