Thanks everyone. While some didn't understand what I meant (my fault for not articulating) others did but gave indirect answers. The goal (for redundancy and clarity) was to move away from Claws (that happens to store my retrieved pop mail in maildir format) to Evolution (providing that it did the same, retrieve my pop mail and store it in maildir format) without the use of other programs (case in point fetchmail, procmail and or what have you). It's looking more and more like this is not a supported (as far as I can tell) feature and may not be a wanted one. That being said, I do want to thank all that replied. It just seems at this point in time, Evolution still is not the app for me to use. For now, Claws and Sunbird will have to do (mind you, both are great products, I would have liked to use the suite that comes with Evo). -- Best regards, Chris () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
