IMAP in Evolution is somewhat crappy. That comes up here from time to
time.

AFAIK it is planned to do a complete rewrite of the IMAP code, but i
don't expect it to be written before porting to Gnome 2 is done (that
means the release of Evo 1.4).


I do think, the poor IMAP offline behavior suffers from that.

If you really depend on working offline, you can use OfflineIMAP to syn
your IMAP folders to a local maildir account.

Yep, it is the same for 1.2.x.
