Re: [Evolution] Perhaps we should keep a list of IMAP/POP servers that we know Evolution works well with.

Hi,

We've created a database based mail package called Dbmail
(www.dbmail.org). Both pop server and imap server in this package are
fully compatible with evolution. Although i must say that evolution has
a few weirdnesses in handling a session with the imap server (for
example the way evolution fetches headers). If these weirdnesses are
gone evolution will be even more stable and a lot faster (well, for sure
if you use imap).

It might be an idea to work together on integrating evolution with
dbmail. We could add features for shared calenders; server based
addressbooks.. stuff like that. 

How do you guys feel about this?

Best regards,


Eelco van Beek
