Something has been bothering me about this thread: it doesn't ring true to me! So I've just done some experiments. I've got Evo (2.24.2) running on my F10 box and Outlook2007 running on a Vista machine next to it. Both are looking at the same Inbox via IMAP. I can delete a message in Evo, and

I understand. Anytime two clients are accessing the same folder there will be all sorts of wierdness. My point is this: More frequent updates, even immediate updates of status chagnes (reads/deletes) means less wierdness. I can't imagine why we would want evolution to wait hours and hours to
