I am referring to my IMAP account. I only have one account that I connect up to and only one computer connects up to it. I have set the time to check for new messages every 5 minutes. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by the "pause" length. All I know is that when I upgraded my computer from FC4 to FC5, these problems started happening. The difference with the problem I am having is that the messages (or headers) never appear. I have waited for 2 hours (and longer) waiting for the messages to actually show up in the inbox, but they never do. The only solution so far has been to stop and start evolution and then they all show up.
Unfortunately, here we only use Exchange server for work and I need a good system to see the calendar.
