Honestly, the MUA does not have to comply, but IMAP Namespaces is a standard. Lacking to comply with standards eventually leads to errors and abandon in favor of a compliant MUA. If Evolution cannot deal properly with the IMAP namespace my mailserver provides, how can i trust it to create folder correctly and manage my mailboxes in a trustworthy way ? regards, Alfredo _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
