evolution has never checked mail on startup. the reason it "works" for imap is because imap has to get the message list info from the server to display ... a message-list, and so in the process "checks" for new mail (a send&receive process does *not* start). this isn't a bug, it's a feature request and is already in bugzilla.

I have been using Evolution through RH7.1, RH9, FC2 and now FC3, but I never paid much attention to its operation -- just used it. 1) Is Evolution supposed to fetch mail when it is opened?
