You're not getting it any herder going from NS to Evo than you would, say, from NS to Outlook, or To Eudora, or Mutt. 1) 0.99-1.snap is not the newest version. Reports are that the new versions support Netscape address importing. Look for a 0.99-2 version. 2) There is a "--\n" before your signature, because technically, that's how signatures are supposed to be formatted. Mail RFC's and recommendation documents use this separator to break the signature from the body of a message when you do things like reply-wth-quote. 3) Because, IMO, this is silly. You can't assume everyone will be online 100% of the time they are using their mail client. Many people on dialups do offline reading. Setting the Sent and Draft folders to be, by default, online will break such user's setups. Setting to local by default does not break the setup of users who are 100% connected. Less impact with these choices, and as you point out, you can change it, so this isn't a real problem. 4) This is a limitation of IMAP. In order to do this, Evo would have to constantly refresh the mailbox status from the server. See the answer to #3 as to why assuming 100% connectivity is bad.
