I can live with that.  Especially so since I'm using CVS as of
last night (I guess I should be thankful it compiles and runs...).

I could never get it to work quite right, so I ended up manually
blowing away everything I could find in the evolution directory
related to my IMAP account.  Then I reconfigured it in Evo, and it
was able to find my inbox and get going again.

That's good to hear.

This is good to hear too.  Evo frequently seems to get confused
or go into an endless loop during the mail check process, so right
now I have to kill it and start it up again (and enter all my passwords
again, arggh! :).

Yes, I'd recently noticed that.
