Re: [Evolution] imap subfolders

[Hassan Aurag <h_aurag yahoo com>]

 Actually I was kidding you, but technically it was
sarcasm. Yep it isn't your code, and I fixed it by
going the full path thinggy a couple of days ago.

 But this led me to: why the heck doesn't starmail of
the very bloated StarOffice spend so much time on my
imap even though I didn't give it any namespace? 

 The answer is because it defaults to:

 INBOX, Trash

 and that's it. Now It shows me a list in an option
window so that I could "subscribe" to folders. Exactly
like Netscape news thing. But it somehow is faster
since it doesn't try to download all the folders at
once (like netscape and evolution do) but each when
needed (when a dir is expanded in other words it will
fetch it one level down and stop). I think in the end
this approach is faster. 


 Peace
