Re: [Evolution] Problems with mail notification

As it seems my mail has been dropped, i'm posting it again :

I have exactly the same behaviour with my evolution 1.4.4 on Mandrake
9.2. The problem wasn't there in 1.2 ...

I'm using classical pop from different mailboxes (4, so certainly not
with the same system as you). So i suppose it is not related to your
IMAP/procmail config.

Could be, but i cannot find where, i've tried to clean up my evolution
folder, reduce the number of messages (the folder decreased from around
200 MB to 35) with still no luck :-((

I have 59 ...

I have remarked that if i close and open evo just after a while, folders
are correctly labelled. I presume there is a refreshing problem
somewhere (some cached files ?) but i cannot find where.
