Some providers, including Google, use rate-limiting on their servers. This can affect IMAP service, especially if Evo is set to use multiple simultaneous connections. You can limit this in Edit->Preferences-><account>->Receiving Options->Number of concurrent connections to use. I have it set to 2 for Gmail, but YMMV. Aside from that, make sure you've ticked "check for new messages in subscribed folders". 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
