That's the reason I gave up, when I tested it.) As I am writing from M$-Outlook, I found that Evo (and possibly KMail), filled up my inbox folders expotentally with multiple copies of multiple emails. I had to shut down all email clients on F8 to see if the problem stops. So far, it has been quiet. I noticed this behavior before, when running Evo (connector) and Kmail(IMAP) but forgotten because I was using Outlook for a long time due to circumstances, but once I went back to working on F8 I needed to have email there as well and that is when the SHTF. Oh, my... that's right - that is why I dropped Evo for Kmail for Thunderbird, none which worked well for me, each having it's own particulars. I think I'll try seakmonkey next, and see what it offers. Dan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
