Re: [Evolution] Multiple Copies of Messages

["Patrick O'Callaghan" <poc usb ve>]

Seven words: This particular ISP does not support IMAP.

In fact most commercial ISPs don't support it, which is kind of
understandable from their point of view. They prefer to hand off the
mail and forget it, rather than being responsable for the care and
feeding of many potentially large mailboxes. Corporate mail is a totally
different story and IMAP fits in well. Which is why I use it on my
corporate account.

And I thought the point of using Evo was *not* to have to use Webmail.
Every Webmail system I've seen (even Gmail) is second-best to a decent
local client. I use 'em when I have to (in fact I support one) but only
if I have to.
