Re: Movemail then move back was Re: [Evolution] Movemail, why?

 Indeed, that's all I want. Be able to read my mail
with something else. It sometimes happens. 

 So, lock it or don't lock it or whatever, as long as
I can read my mail with pine, elm.... it's ok. That's
what pisses me for instance about StarOffice mail, it
uses a weird format to store messages.

 I don't know, maybe I am overdoing this, but that'd
be cool.
