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

Evolution doesn't support different views of data.

And well, he's right, IMAP is a Mail protocol (look it up, the M
is for mail).



<sigh>  before you say this, you have used Outlook2000 connected to an
Exchange server?  and your thinking like us that Microsoft is charging too
much for software?  and you like use have a worldwide network of exchange
servers (like about 60) and thus is difficult to change them all at one go?
<deeper sigh>  and obviously you would be using POP for your exchange
servers.  you would have shared calenders on the exchange server?  you would
know what your talking about before you say IMAP has no business being
stored in an IMAP folder?   i rest my case.....

Contact and Calendar data has no business being stored in an IMAP
folder, IMAP is for mail.

Moving contact and calendar data to the local addressbook/calendar has
nothing to do with POP.

Sad.

In Outlook2k, i say this folder is a Calendar folder and voila, it looks
like a Calendar.
In Evolution, i don't know how/don't know if i can/am wondering if it's on
the todo list for developers....

Hope this explains...

Do I want to drag and drop to my local folders?  no i do not. that would
defeat the purpose of having my IMAP mail on the server, i may as well use
POP.

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.



The mail *does* stay on the IMAP server, my last email explained that

I

thought...

It sounds like you are using the Shortcut Bar, which you are free to
delete shortcuts from and add new ones to...

Just remove the Inbox icon and create a new one for your IMAP Inbox,
tada!

I'm not sure what you are asking...?

Evolution doesn't download IMAP mail into your local Inbox unless

you

setup filters to do so and also configure Evolution to filter your

IMAP

Inbox.


Allow me to explain :)

I'm trying to switch completely from windoze to Linux.  Pegasus mail

(and my

huge mail archive) is one of the last things holding me there.  I

just

setup

the full courier mail suite on my local server, and finally got mail

routing

through my firewall (boy what a PITA *that* was).  I played with

netscape

and mozilla mail with a couple of IMAP accounts on the server,

created

some

mail folders, filters, etc (now that mail is flowing nicely).  When

I

first

fired up evolution, it brought a bunch of messages into it's own

local

inbox

(the one that shows in the button panel along the left side).  In

the

folder

list, I see both sets of folders, ie, the (apparently) primary

folders,

and

the folders for my main IMAP account on the server.

Questions:

I want mail to stay in my IMAP folders, in fact, I'd rather not even

see

the

default folders.  How do I do that?

If I can't get rid of them, can I make the big Inbox button go to my

IMAP

inbox?

I hope that makes at least a little sense :-)

Thanks in advance, Steve
