[Evolution] IMAP and marking folders as Offline

[Sean O'Neill <sean seanoneill info>]

Finally figured out how to do this BUT ...

What I can't figure out is how to sync everything already in the IMAP 
folders so that all messages are available for offline mode.

When I select offline mode, a popup window comes up saying it checking 
this folder and that folder and even occassionally says its downloading 
a message.  But all the messages in my IMAP folders are not being 
sync'd.  I know this because I'll go into offline mode and scroll to the 
very bottom of one of my folders and select a message.  I get that error 
saying that the operation can only be completed with in online mode - or 
something very close to that.

Any thoughts ?
