As long as we are in the subject of e-mail clients I have a question. I use both Thunderbird and Evolution (Thunderbird for my last Windows-based gaming machine) and I get duplicate Junk and Trash folders. Thunderbird uses a traditional folder, while Evolution uses a Local folder for junk and trash. While it's possible to change Sent and Draft folders in every clients, only Kmail, out of all the clients I tested seems to support change the trash folder... I get the same thing as in this: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/5625-evolution-mail-client-imap-trash-junk-folder-shown-twice.html I know I can erase the local files for Evolution, but I don't want to break things... any advice?
