Re: [Evolution] IMAP connection

[Richard Martin <Richard Martin aepona com>]

Hi,

Sorry I think there is a problem with evolution communicating with the
imap server. I have hide deleted messages selected so when I delete them
they should disappear from the message display.

The problem really is when the INBOX folder shows new messages, but the
message displayer doesn't show them. Then I run into the delete problem
as described.

I thought I saw a problem like this logged on 1.4.3.....

Sorry typo i meant 1.2.2 :-) In which it all worked fine

Cheers
Richard
