POP accounts don't have their own entry in the side bar. POP as a protocol sucks mail from a server and the mail actually resides on your local machine - with IMAP the mail stays on the server. Consequently a POP account (in fact all POP accounts) mail is in the "On This Computer" folders. As for changing the server type - it usually doesn't work well once things are setup. Try deleting the account and starting again. You might do well to shutdown Evolution to let things catch up - you may have to go further (like logging out) since there are some background processes that may need to re-read the configuration. > > I think the evolution version is fairly old -- it's whatever is bundled > with Scientific Linux 6.9. Unfortunately there are so many different Linux versions and distros out there that giving the distro info doesn't mean much to most people.
