Thanks Pete That's a real shame, as Using POP3 I hold about 1.5 GB of mail, which if I filter on relative age I stop the mail file expanding to much by either deleting or moving to an archive. IMAP is not well handled by my isp, virginmedia, I use IMAP on my Android phone, I only get mail in batches or not at all. That's not using connection to a cell site, that's using the wireless interface on my router, so it uses exactly the same route to the server as this computer. :( I've got the filtering of incoming mail sorted, the filtering has really improve since the last time I looked at Evo. But If at sometime in the future a plugin to allow automatic filtering of existing read mail it would be a nice feature. -- Best wishes / 73 Richard Bown nil carborundum a illegitemis ######################################################################## Ham Call:G8JVM .OS Fedora FC14 x86_64 Dual core AMD Athlon 4400, 4GB RAM Maidenhead QRA: IO82SP38:LAT. 52 39.720':N LONG. 2 28.171 W (degs,mins ) QRV HF + VHF Microwave 23 cms:140W,13 cms:100W,6 cms:10W & 3 cms:5W ######################################################################## _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
