Re: [Evolution] Re: local inbox vs. IMAP inbox

It might be that 'filter new messages in inbox' is set on the imap
account and there is a rule that moves messages ot the local inbox
or something (although afaik it should use the remote inbox
if nothing matches).

IMAP doesn't download messages otherwise, they remain on the server.

Unless you're using POP to access it, which is of course, not what
you should be doing if you want to use IMAP.
