Would it be possible to make the imap access to not operate in a "blocking" fashion. For example, now if I happen to select a message for viewing while the imap "checking for mail" access is occuring, it will not show the message contents until the imap access is complete. This is also true of initial folder viewing. While it would not speed up the imap access, it would provide a "feel" of faster response.

I think he's talking about a different situation. Evolution uses a vfolder for trash, right? Other MUAs (Mozilla, for example) use a "real" imap folder for trash called Trash. So if you access imap account using Mozilla, it will create a "Trash" folder in your defined imap namespace, Then access imap account using Evolution, you will see the Evolution vfolder called Trash, as well as the "real" folder called Trash that Mozilla created. That was my interpretation, could be wrong... Personally, it doesn't bother me. > > and I didn't see an option to directly move deleted mails to the imap trash > > and getting rid of the evolution trash.

Since the Evolution imap trash folder is a vfolder (doesn't really move anything), you get the same effect by selecting "hide deleted" and then you only see deleted mail by selecting the trash folder. > > - When a folder is sorted "Ascending", evolution should by default go to the >bottom of > > the mail list, because it's where newer mails are. I agree, but it's a minor annoyance. I'm just used to grabbing the scroll bar and moving to the end of the list.
