Re: [Evolution] IMAP speed

Why not?  It's clear that there's a bug in evolution and that it's not a
fundamental flaw with Linux.

Now, if the stop button bug and the PPP-disconnect-hang bug are
manifestations of the same problem, then I agree that it doesn't make
sense to file a new one -- that is, if there is a non-closed stop button
bug and if it is known that these are really the same problem.  

Are both these things true?
