That is true, you could use any mail client that you want to. >>Thus far, Evolution is the least-worst one I've found on Linux.<< You must of never had to use the Evolution mail group before.. They're quite rude over there. Basically, they give you the nice " GO RTFM" for replies, even though you tried Googling your issue. " Go to HELP > AND XXXX" and read the help guide."

When I tried IMAP, on this sat dish connection, here in Claws, Claws slowly loaded the whole inbox and displayed everything in the inbox. And every time I switched folders it took it a min to display everything in that folder.
