Re: [Evolution] Some trouble with IMAP

[Francois Taiani <francois taiani laas fr>]

Hi,

thanks for your advice. It helped a lot. Apparently I have problems 
telling evolution where my mail directory is: At some point 
evolution-mail does a 'LIST "" "*"' request on the imap server, and 
starts receiving the entire directory tree of my remote account (which 
is huge, and has nothing to do with my mail, which in turn lies in the 
directory ${HOME}/mail)):

---
<-snip->
sending : A00004 LIST "" "*"
received: * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" .tcshrc
received: * LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" .profile
received: * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" .desktop-iris4d
received: * LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" .desktop-iris4d/4DWm
received: * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" .desktop-iris4d/searchbook
received: * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" .desktop-iris4d/searchbook/CVS
<-snip->
---

Would someone known how to tell evolution where my mail lies on the imap 
server ? Mozilla-mail has an "IMAP server directory" option that can be 
set for that purpose, but I did not find anything similar in the 
evolution settings.

Thanks in advance

Francois

P.S.: Upgrading to 1.0.8 (with debian package tools), made some icons 
(in particular the Cancel and OK ones) appear totally destroyed. This 
may be related to other libs that were upgraded along with evolution 
(probably the libgdk-pixbuf-* ones (version 0.19.0-2)). Did someone have 
similar problems ?
