Jeff's got you on the right track, of course, but I would suggest also that you have a look at the evolution mailing list archives. This sort of question comes up (sadly) quite regularly. http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/ The "sadly" comment is there because the IMAP code in evolution is *REALLY* weak. This isn't just a matter of my opinion - it's a loud and constant complaint from evolution users. And Ximian knows this. I've had long talks with Ettore (and even Nat Friedman) about it, they know it needs fixing, but for some reason it never quite makes it onto the radar to get fixed in a given milestone release - the UI work they've been focused on continues to take priority. Nat told me they're serious about finally addressing this problem either in 2.0 or shortly thereafter. We'll see. In the mean time, if you get really frustrated I would recommend using something like offlineimap which groks IMAP really well and mirrors your server's mailstore to a local tree of maildirs. I written a few emails to the evolution list about this if you're interested: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2003-March/028106.html http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2003-November/033842.html [I did a google on 'IMAP Andrew Cowie site:lists.ximian.com' to find these; similar searches but with your problem might work for you] Best of luck, AfC -- Andrew Frederick Cowie Operational Dynamics Consulting Pty Ltd Australia: +61 2 9977 6866 http://www.operationaldynamics.com/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
