RE: [Evolution] IMAP on Exchange

[Gregory Leblanc <GLeblanc cu-portland edu>]

Despite what other people say, getting to mail using IMAP in evolution is
not something that I find intuitive.  What view are you using in Evolution,
the shortcut bar, or the folder list?  Since Evolution defaults to the (IMO)
stupid and worthless shortcut bar, you must manually turn on the folder bar
to be able to see your IMAP folders and the mail therein.  Right now (at
least on my copies of Evolution) you cannot "customize" the folder list, so
you'll have to either look at all the folders, or create shortcuts on the
shortcut bar for the folders you want to see.  This limitation will go away
eventually, I think.  HTH,
        Greg
