You could tell Evolution to put sent emails into that special folder, there's a setting for it in the preferences. Put a dummy "sendmail" script in your PATH. Let it do nothing except "cat >/dev/null", then Evolution should think that it was able to send the outgoing email and move it into the desired folder. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- [email protected] http://www.estamos.de/ _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
