Dear James and Nathan, I have more or less the same problem. I am a new user of Evolution and I use an IMAP server.... and I never got Evolution to show any messages at all from my Inbox, eventhou it can tell how many new messages I have.
It is even more strange because I have many folders inside the inbox (really inside, not parallel) and evolution shows the contents of all of them, but not from the Inbox! My solution: now I am using Thunderbird ;-) Cheers and signing of the list, Henrique On 6/28/06, James White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I am running on a dell Optiplex GX270 and Fedora Core 5.
