That might depend on how the server is storing the folders. If its using '.'s, as some imap servers do, evolution is just going to list them as top level folders.

Yeah we know it has problems like this. I dont know of any plans to address it - I certainly know that nobody (i.e. me or Jeff) wants to touch the existing imap code any more than absolutely necessary. Well it also depends on if the server is sending the appropriate EXPUNGED untagged response to notify evolution of the change, which i suspect some servers dont do properly. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
