[Evolution] Re: [Evolution-hackers] Inbox questions

[Dan Winship <danw helixcode com>]

Please send questions to evolution helixcode com only. evolution@ is
for general discussion/questions/etc, evolution-hackers@ is for
discussion of code/hacking issues. (The only reason to send to both
lists is for announcements, since some people on evolution-hackers
aren't on evolution.)

Anyway...

It's supposed to be emptied out after every "Get mail" operation... if
it's not, that's a bug.

Urk. If you turn off threaded view, do you suddenly have lots of
duplicates of every message?

If you've seen all of the messages in it, yes.
