I have a strange problem with evolution. I connect to an imap server. I
just installed SUSE 10.0 - kde desktop - ( previously I have tested
Novell linux desktop and Xandros ).

Which versions of the OSs? What I'm actually really after is the Evo
version running on those.


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

When I installed Evolution and set up my preferences, the software
displays 2 duplicate inboxes. If I delete one of them, all my e-mails
are deleted in the second inbox.( good thing I saves a copy locally )

Where in the mail tree are those Inboxes *exactly*?

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 ).

In evolution right now, I show 2 inboxes. one shows 5 unread messages
( I read all the incoming mail ) and the 2nd one shows no new messages
( I have the 1st inbox open ).

When I log into my mail using Thunderbird, everything is normal. The
same thing when using a browser and reading mail as a remote user.

I removed evolution with YAST and then searched and deleted all
evolution files/folders. I restarted my computer and reinstalled
evolution. When I set it up and log on, I get duplicate inboxes.

Re-installing the application usually does not solve anything. This is
Linux. Just because this approach commonly solved issues on earlier
Micros~1 Windows versions, it doesn't mean it is of any use here.
I am using GAIM which uses the evolution database. Could the problem be
with GAIM?

Nope.
