I've been using Evolution for quite some time now. I use IMAP and keep most of my email on my server. Over time, I have created a number of folders (on the server side) and use filters to move mail into those folders. I'm curious to know if that is the 'best' way to use the program tho - would I be better off (and I'm not exactly sure what I mean by that :)) if I just left all the messages in my Inbox and created VFolders to group messages (I have one folder for this mailing list, one for Fedora Test messages, one for corporate email etc.). Is there any reason for choosing one approach over the other?
Is your IMAP server on localhost, a fast LAN, a slow/busy LAN, or across the internet? (Or, does it matter, since Evo locally caches all email???) I've got maildrop doing server-side filtering, and have found that plain old Search works fine. And since my IMAP is courier on localhost, plain old rgrep is adequate for a surprising amount of search tasks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "There is no shadow of protection to be had by sheltering behind the slender stockades of visionary speculation, or by hiding behind the wagon-wheels of pacific theories."
