I don't know that anyone will be able to help you with this. 2.8 is several years out of date, as is FC6. I presume you tried removing the duplicate vfolders from the Edit->Search Folders dialogue. Failing that, you could stop Evo, delete the XML file and restart, but of course you'd have to manually re-create your vfolders. Otherwise I don't know what to suggest except that you update your system and Evo version to currently supported versions (F11 and 2.26.3 respectively). > PS As an aside, am I right in thinking that eve if I have 20 email > accounts in Evolution, the 'sending' always uses the SMTP connection > of the default account? No, each account can have a different SMTP server. Of course I'm talking about Evo 2.26. I've no memory of what 2.8 used to do. > Please ***read*** this mail if it appears duplicated.

So if you see combined message(s) relating to > SMTP sending issues/duplicated folders - ignore them. Apologies. It doesn't appear to be duplicated, at least not yet. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
