[Evolution] mail directories
Preamble: I am a Eudora user, been one since v 1.34 or some such. Question 1: Where does Evolution keep the mail? Question 2: Is each folder its own file? Are folders grouped into directories? Question 3: Can I set up Evolution so that different email accounts' mail is in different directories? In Eudora I do this by running multiple copies of Eudora with different directories. This is different from running Eudora with different personalities within one copy.

[Evolution] Mulitple IDs
Well I answered part of my directories question by doing a lot of INternet searching. I see where Evolution places its data in a hidden directory: ~/.evolution Now why it is felt necessary to put all of this stuff in hidden directories is beyond me. So it would seem that Evolution is treating each useid as a personality for the logged in user. I wonder could I create some other user IDs, grant privileges to my ID and run additonal copies of Evolution pointing to those directories? Or do I somehow have to have multiple simultaneous logins?

Re: [Evolution] mail directories
Robert, [1] Evo's folder is /home/user/.evolution/ and local mail is kept in /home/user/.evolution/mail/local. [2] Folders are organized in IBEX. Being as how I'm not really sure what that is, the structure is very similar to the maildir structure I've seen on IMAP servers. The folders for my Drafts, Inbox, Sent and Outbox are listed like below: Drafts Drafts.cmeta Drafts.ev-summary Drafts.ibex.index Drafts.ibex.index.data Inbox Inbox.cmeta Inbox.ev-summary Inbox.ibex.index Inbox.ibex.index.data Inbox.sbd Outbox Outbox.cmeta Outbox.ev-summary Outbox.ibex.index Outbox.ibex.index.data Sent Sent.cmeta Sent.ev-summary Sent.ibex.index Sent.ibex.index.data [3] I use IMAP and by default, messages for each account are stored in that user's folder, but I'm not sure what happens with POP. You could probably specify incoming folders for each account. HTH. Faeren.

Re: [Evolution] Re: Exchange Connector: emails I send end up inIn box
Paul Thanks for the clarification, which agrees with my impression that Evolution is simply forgetting some settings. The problem seems intermittent on my setup (KDE 5.10, Evolution 2.4.1); at its worst, outgoing email shows up in my inbox, and drafts simply disappear. In the best case, restarting Evolution causes no problems. Seems bizarre, but at least there is the workaround which Poornima mentioned, and I could also implement the filter you mentioned.
