Re: [Evolution] IMAP in Evolution is SLOOOOOOOOOOW.

Actually I find that evolution's Imap support is pretty quick.  The MAIN problem
I'm having is that Evolution doesn't stay running very long before the mail
component dies.  I've done killev and oafd-slay and rerun Evolution.  It stays
up for a while and then dies again.  My backup is Outlook in Win4Lin until
Evolution stabilizes some more (and I have to admit, it gets better with EACH
and EVERY snapshot release..great work guys) and then I'll get rid of Outlook
permanently.  

I wondering, I have a copy of Nautilus 1.0 installed along w/Evolution and I
notice that it appears as if some of the packages used by Nautilus are later
than the Ximian packages.  Specifically, in Ximian it uses
control-center-1.2.2-0_helix_1, Evolution uses control-center-1.2.3-100_helix...
and nautilus uses control-center-1.3.90-0_plain_0.  I wonder if this has
something to do w/my problems.

Also, I was wondering about LDAP support.  Do I have to recompile Evolution
locally w/LDAP support or is this just functionality that isn't there yet?

Thanks
