Maybe. This is much more complicated issue than that. Sometimes bugs are quite difficult whereas a feature implementation might be trivial. > Nobody cares about > customizable toolbars or keyboard shortcuts, those things can wait.

Perhaps your instability issue is related to something else. I have constant problems with message counts, and occasional problems with missing messages that I solve with a script that deletes the indices. This is annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. It is a deal breaker as far as deploying Evolution to non-technical users. > And virtual folders is > completely broken.

We should never expect that our preferences are universal and apply to others. I haven't used virtual folders since it was Ximian Evolution in Red Hat 7.x, and could care less if they went away completely. I use the toolbar extensively and would really appreciate if I could configure it with functions I use more often. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. a...@rhd.org Philadelphia, PA 19144 267-615-3172 _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
