Remember that many people have no idea what that means in terms of
Evolution versions. Always state the version of Evo your question refers
to.

It's not clear what your server setup is and you don't say how you are

in your personal user account? Is it managed exclusively by the IMAP
server (assuming you're using IMAP) or is something else writing files
into it?
