More to the point of the original post, I am going to assume that kmail handles Gmail IMAP much better than evo. The reason is that if you move other accounts over to your Gmail account, Gmail automatically tags the mail with the name of these accounts. If you access Gmail with IMAP, tags are presented as folders. As I mentioned before, kmail allows you to associate folders with a particular identity, so mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to a folder with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] default identity, so if I reply to it, the reply stays in that folder and it is sent with the correct identity. OTOH, as evo cannot associate folders with identities, I would have to remember to manually change the identity when replying, especially when replying to lists where subscription matters. -- Art Alexion MIS x3075
