Three questions: Are you referring to IMAP accounts? Is the "pause" the same length of time as your mail-check interval? Is any other program checking your mail folders as well as Evolution? I have noticed a similar effect and cannot be certain yet, but it MAY be that the pause is related to server response time. It seems like the request is sent, the headers are received and then the message just doesn't show up. I have found that once I am in this "state", I can see none of my new messages on any of my IMAP accounts until I either restart Evolution or wait for a few minutes. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable can tell us if this is what it appears: headers are received and displayed before messages, then a slow (or confused) server leaves us waiting for the actual content to arrive. Possibly we are waiting until the next mail-check interval where it clears itself up. I have considered the idea that my OTHER mail clients (I run three computers together - all checking the same IMAP folders) might be checking IMAP at exactly the same time and this may be part of the condition. If this is the case, then there's not much to be done about it. Evolution still functions for me while I wait for the messages to arrive. Maybe colour the message titles in red or have a special icon to show that they are "in transit" or something? _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
