Hi Jeffrey,
I switched to IMAP as you suggested but I had initially switched to
IMAP4rev1
since there is a folder that I like to see but therefore I have to
change the namespace.
If I do that I can see that folder but evolution says that it cannot see
the folders under INBOX anymore....
If I use the default namespace I can see again my folders in INBOX but
the others not.
That was working with IMAP4rev1.
BTW, why do I allways have to stop evolution, kill all evolution- and
gconf-processes
delete the /tmp/orbit-* /tmp/gconfd-* ~/.evolution/mail/imap*-folders to
get these changes
activated???
And , in addition, this works only in 1 of 4 attempts? Where is the
cache that I have forgotten
to delete? Where are the passwords of evolution stored?
Thanks
Thomas

I'm not sure what provider type you've been using (the Server Type menu
in the account editor), but you probably want to be using IMAP and not
IMAP4rev1. That may solve your crash problems...
The IMAP4rev1 plugin is what I was working on before I left the team to
try and write a cleaner implementation of the old IMAP code to make it
more maintainable. Unfortunately I never really finished it and so it
would seem there are a few bugs with it (as well as not all the features
are there).

Hi there,
after more than five years of disconnection to that list I will start to
bother you again with some questions ;-)
First of all: how active is the development of evolution now?
It seems to me that there is a bit the kick left over the years and
since Novell aquired Ximian
there are a lot of links going to dead ends...
Now my main question:
We just started to change our e-mail-server from pop to imap4 but it
seems to me that
the implementation of imap in evolution is a bit poor since I get a lot
of crashes here and have a lot of problems to connect properly or see my
folders and so on.
However, there are a lot of things I like in evolution and I don't want
to switch to anything else
if I can avoid that but thunderbird and kmail and felamimail and all the
others don't make such a trouble with imap.
Is there anything I can do or you can do for me?
Unfortunatelly I am currently running evo on a suse93/opteron and I lost
all my old red-carpet-channels for an update to a newer version. Does
anyone know a location to connect to to get the current snapshots of
evolution?
Kind regards
Thomas
