So I get called to this user's desk at a new company I'm doing some work for. It seems that for the last two weeks, he's been firing up his Evolution and wondering why no email is visible, even though when he goes to OWA he can see and manipulate his email (as normally as you can when using Firefox with OWA, but that's another story).
So after ten minutes of messing around with this, I turn the preview
pane off -- and presto, he got his list of email back!
Seems that with Evolution, you can grab the preview pane and pull it
up to the top of the window, completely covering the list of emails
in your mailbox.
Aaaand when you first fire up Evolution, it does not select an email
to display for you -- meaning that you get a blank frame.
After I'd stopped beating my head against a wall, I went and tried
the same trick with Outlook. Microsoft gets many, many things wrong
-- but you cannot cover up the top three lines of the email list with
the preview pane.
I'll just repeat that the user had been sitting there for TWO WEEKS
wondering why he had no email.
Kill. Me.
