Re: [Evolution] Evolution vs Evolution

I have 2 Evo (on different computers) running against the same IMAP

connection, 'cause I often have a little window which says "unable to
fetch message xxx: broken pipe".

Now, the problem is that sometimes, when Evo tries to reconnect, the
message view is messed up:
- if I was reading INBOX and stays in INBOX, each message is duplicated
(in the view, not really in the server)
- if I change to another IMAP folder during the reconnection, the INBOX
view takes place instead of the other folder. (Say my other folder is
called "Lists", it displays INBOX's contents. And INBOX doesn't displays
anything).

Is this a bug in Evo, or perhaps in my IMAP server (I doubt)

Its the IMAP server.  imapd is the University of Washington IMAP server
which doesn't like multiple connections.  I believe if there are
multiple simultaneous connections it will drop the original connection. 
The behaviour however is weird, I see it all of the time at work (RH62
server, with Evo and OE as clients) but my boss never sees it at home
(imapd on Solaris).  Maybe its a file locking issue which doesn't appear
on Solaris builds.
