Re: [Evolution] feature request

Go into Tools->Mail Config

Then edit your IMAP account and in the Receiving Options tab, uncheck
the "check mail in all folders" checkbox.

Also, IMAP will auto-update when you select/leave a folder so you could
just not use send&receive at all. Send&Receieve is mostly there for
people who freak out if they don't see it because they are so used to
POP.

Not that send&receieve isn't cool and all, but I never use it :-)
