Somehow i find t hard to believe that every other MUA gets it wrong, and only evolution gets it right... I am my own server's admin, and everything seems fine. Thunderbird has no problems with the namespace represenation, neither sylpheed-claws and neither does squirrelmail... So having said that, i would see this as a bug and not as feature. regards, Alfredo _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
