Re: [Evolution] help - Ive just deleted all my mail for some strange reason?

[mark <mark extension2 freeserve co uk>]

 They contain mail that matches a given search. 

o.k, but what exactly do u mean by given search?
i have only set up basic filtes to say filter and move work and
evolution mails into their correct folders.i presume that this is
different to vfolders?


See the Tools->Virtual Folder Editor menu). 
In this section i have no options entered, but i get new mail com into
my vfolders as well as my inbox?

can i download any evolution docs (rather than posting simple questions
that reading the docs should explain, as i feel as iam wasting peoples
time, asking very basic simple questions), as the snapshot rpms for some
reason failed to install the evo docs...
