I would have to reload each of these OS's to determine which version of
Evolution is running on them - it ran fine on all of them.

Novell Desktop SP1
Novell Desktop SP2 ( different install )
Xandros 3.0

the folders are under:
mail.work.com <-THIS IS THE IMAP MAIL NAME I USED ->
        Inbox
        Inbox
        Deleted Items
        Drafts
        Junk E-mail
        Outbox
        Public Folders
        Sent    
        Trash

I do not use the folders under On This Computer which also has an inbox
( empty ).
