AFAIK, Evo caches the *headers*, unless you explicitely open the message of course, but note that applying junk filters may also imply downloading message bodies, since both SpamAssasin and Bogofilter do Bayesian analisis of the message text. Since Gmail has its own junk filtering, you might want to disable Evo junk filtering for your Gmail account. In fact Gmail recommends this. Evo has no built-in way to encrypt the cache, though I guess a plugin could be written to do it. As others have said, you can always use other Linux tools for filesystem encryption. poc On Mon, 2007-11-05 at 22:20 -0800, Ari El wrote: > Recently I discovered gmail's new IMAP feature.
