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

[Fabrice Triboix <fabrice triboix me uk>]

Got it! It was the "Apply filters to new messages in Inbox on this
server" setting. I unticked it, closed evolution, deleted the
"~/.cache/evolution/mail/XYZ/folders/" directory and restarted
evolution. Now it does not download messages any more.

I would suggest this setting to be turned off by default upon creation
of a new email account.

That solves my problem, thanks a lot for your help!
