Re: [Evolution] IMAP Large Folders Problems

[Chris Tooley <chris tooley com>]

Well, it's a Domino based mail file.  There were as I said 15000
messages in the "INBOX" which were truly in the inbox.  When I went to
download them, it got somewhere around August 2000 (I started here in
July) and stopped.  I deleted all 3000 of those messages and moved on. 
However it still won't download the rest of the messages. I looked in my
web-mail login and Domino shows that those messages got deleted, and
that there are still the same number of messages in the folder as
Evolution says are in the folder when it starts up.

I am asking it to filter my IMAP Inbox but that doesn't really make much
of a difference because the same filters are run by Domino before
Evolution hits the mail file.  So, anything Evo is going to filter,
Domino already has.
