And it uses my department's imap server. The way things are organized in my department, there are a bunch of public machines, and one's personal files are mounted on all of them, so it doesn't matter which one I am logged into. The Mail folder is in my personal directory on the public system, but the imap server is provided by the server. I always shows my inbox, which I believe is my mail folder on the public system. In addition, I can subscribe to files in my Mail directory. I created some of the files I subscribe to. For example, I put a file called learn in which I put, using evolution, files I want to be treated as spam. Periodically, I use that file to train the program spamassassin. But I seem to have solved my immediate problem in that by fiddling a bit, I managed to eliminate the file "from" from being displayed by evolution. I would still like to know how evolution decides to show what it does. > > poc > > _______________________________________________ > evolution-list mailing list > evolution-list@gnome.org > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
