Just be aware that doing this means Subscribing to the All Mail "folder" in Gmail, which contains *everything* in every "folder" on the account (except for Spam and Trash). That could be extremely large and Evolution will proceed to index all of it. Currently I don't subscribe to All Mail from Evo for that reason, though maybe I'm being over- cautious. 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
