Re: [Evolution] Evolution 1.2.2 - odd behavior with Yahoo POP server

["Mark S. Warren" <mwarren acm org>]

Sounds plausible, but I should have mentioned before that this behavior
did NOT occur with Outlook Express.  So I agree that this is an odd
"feature" in Yahoo, but there is apparently some way for Outlook to
avoid it that Evolution does not know about, or that I have not
configured properly.  I'm still confused?!?
