Re: [orca-list] Some tips on how to use evolution with orca

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

I think the hangs are mostly at first, when imap is still syncing for
the first time. I see this when I configure a new machine, and I know to
simply go away and get some coffee.

After first time use, things settle down well for me. I have multiple
folderss, several with many thousands of emails.

Best,

Janina
