Re: [Evolution] Using evo for read-only folders?

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

No, evolution needs to add a uid header so it can uniquely identify messages in the event the mailbox is altered during a session (which presumably will happen).

You could try maildir format folders with permissions set approprately - that may, or may not, work.  But mailbox definitely wont.  Or use som imap server for the sharing.
