Re: [Evolution] Various strange actions by Evolution

["David A Vavra" <davavra verizon net>]

I believe I mentioned the server is POP3.

Paralleling: I have Outlook running at my office and on my laptop. I keep
the messages on the server for about a week so both installations of Outlook
can get to them. Each installation of Outlook must keep its own mark of what
has been read as I'm not aware of any message being read by one and not the
other. 

IIRC, the server doesn't remember if a message has been read but it's been a
long time since I accessed it via telnet so I may be wrong about that. In
any case, I don't think that would explain why Evo thinks there are 25
messages in the Inbox but won't display most of them.

I'm a little uneasy about letting Evo have first go at the server. I don't
want to lose any more messages. I think instead I'll setup a dovecot server
at home and see how Evo reacts.

Perhaps Outlook is marking the messages as Seen and Evo isn't seeing
them. How is Outlook accessing the server? Pop? IMAP? MAPI? EWS? Is
Outlook accessing the server concurrently with Evo? (not sure what you
mean by "paralleling").

Try running a different client (e.g. Thunderbird) against the same
server, and check if it sees all messages.

I suspect that if you get the Outlook issue sorted out, many of the
other problems may fall into place.

Alternatively, turn Outlook off completely for a trial period and see
what happens.
