Re: [Evolution] Emails not showing

["Henrique Barbosa" <hmjbarbosa gmail com>]

Dear James and Nathan,

I have more or less the same problem. I am a new user
of Evolution and I use an IMAP server.... and I never got Evolution
to show any messages at all from my Inbox, eventhou it can
tell how many new messages I have.

It is even more strange because I have many folders inside
the inbox (really inside, not parallel) and evolution shows the
contents of all of them, but not from the Inbox!

My solution: now I am using Thunderbird ;-)

Cheers and signing of the list,

Henrique
