Re: [Evolution] How to easily archive imap email

[dave boland <dboland9 fastmail fm>]

Milan,

Thanks for the info.  All went reasonably well, but I did run into one
issue that I need to fix.  One of the sub-folders didn't copy and now
I'm getting the error "Error refreshing folder: STATUS Invalid mailbox
name."  What do I do now?  I would really like to get this folder back.

two other question.  My isp says they support pop3.  Would I be smart to
use that instead of imap+ and leave the mail on the server (which is
what I used to do, and I assume Evolution 3.16.5 can still do)?

Finally, I see a potential problem with copying folders.  Assuming I
want to keep my archive on my computer current, I will have to copy the
inbox weekly or monthly.  Then I'll have a mess of archives.  Is there a
better way of creating archives on my computer?

Thanks,
Dave
