> 1) Is Evolution supposed to fetch mail when it is opened? (e.g. Outlook > Express and Thunderbird do). "On my system it does, but I use Evolution with an IMAP server, not POP. I just tested using POP and it does not seem to check at start. I think that's a problem, too. I think you've found a legit bug. I think the workaround is to simply hit F9 when you start Evo and set your mail retrieval interval to something reasonably short (like 5 minutes or so)" **I have been using exactly that workaround for a couple of years. I'll stay with it.** "but I might just not understand what you need." **What I needed at this point was someone somewhere to respond and let me know I wasn't going nuts or completely incompetent. Thank you Thomas.** "Actually, I almost passed by your posting because it was so long. I don't know about others on this list but I have a pretty short attention span. :-)" **I don't usually write long messages, but if you follow the plot line you can see that it stared out as a simple query.** **The personalized printouts can be solved another day.** Thanks again Thomas, Sincerely Bill
