As for searching multiple folders, if they are subfolders of your INBOX, then any search on your INBOX would automatically include subfolders. ---- > > > It's a bit rude to throw around words like "cesspool" when you actually > > mean "tower of cards" ;o) > > You guys underestimate the system I have running here. Evolution > ROCKS ! ---- I pretty much underestimate any person who keeps thousands of e-mails in their INBOX rather than organize their e-mail. I believe I have used Evolution since it's first appearance on RHL but I stopped using POP3 a long, long time ago so I haven't had to deal with mbox and all of it's fragility many years ago. In my mind, anyone who does a lot of e-mail should set up a mail server with IMAP and either cyrus-imapd or dovecot with Maildir and if necessary, use fetchmail or equivalent to retrieve e-mail from POP3 servers as they are much more efficient at storing, retrieving, indexing e-mail.
