Hmmm. I've always found Evolution to be very robust in handling email accessed via IMAP - moreso even than T-bird, which seems to have issues with folder subscription and unsubscription. Since I had problems periodically with Evo trashing local mail when using POP3, I long ago switched to IMAP with it and have been very happy with it. I _have_ had to set up accounts as IMAP+ (imapx) when there was a choice between this and "standard" IMAP, since the latter had issues on Evolution. It seems that this choice is no longer available, and IMAP+ seems to work just fine with both Google and my company mail server running Courier-mta (with Courier-IMAP server). What kind of problems are you having using Evolution as a client with IMAP servers? IMAP is a standard communications protocol defined by RFCs and any ESP that offers an IMAP server should be able to communicate with any MUA which supports it - which includes Evolution. Frankly, I wouldn't trust Microsoft any further than I could throw them to support RFC-based Internet standards, but Gmail does, and as I've said, Evo works fine for me on Gmail. The long and short of it is that if you can get the IMAP support you want in T-bird, you'll also find it there in Evolution, probably better. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
