Tony, Thanks for the info. I don't think that I explained correctly what I was trying to do. The mail I was trying to get it actually on the same computer, and in the same user account. I have managed to configure Evolution to get the mail by configuring another mail account using local delivery. It seems to work ok now. I do want to try IMAP in the future. Regards, Steve
