Re: [Evolution] How can I limit the amount of cache evolution is using?

[Fabrice Triboix <fabrice triboix me uk>]

Hi Pete, Tom,

Thanks for your responses.
The "Synchronize remote mail locally" option is not enabled.
It's an IMAP account, with gigabytes of emails. But I don't want
evolution to download all of that locally.

Any other idea?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Best regards
