I've had my share of Evo problems (and have reported a good few to Bugzilla) but I find the current version (2.24.5) to very reliable. I tend to leave it running permanently. I have two IMAP accounts (including this one on Gmail) and one POP account with less usage. My main complaint is that occasionally the Gmail account becomes inaccessible, but restarting Evo fixes it immediately. I ve already complained about this. I was on the point of jumping ship to Claws or TB3 because of frequent hangs with earlier version of 2.24, until I was advised to turn off automatic lookups on a remote LDAP server, which made a big difference. Currently Claws doesn't properly support the IMAP message deletion model (mark \Deleted and call Expunge some time later) so I'm reluctant to change. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
