Yes, I believe that is what happens by default unless you've checked to cache messages locally. Of course messages may get cached if you actually view them. > I use version 2.12.3 and don't think I can update easily (network setup at > work). Yikes, that is antique. But I recall doing this previously. Just make sure evolution is actually stopped [no evolution processes running] and delete the contents of the cache folder. That is how I did it in the past, and Evolution just reconstituted the folder with what it needed when I started it next time. Note that this is a you-break-it-you-buy-it kind of thing to do; if it doesn't work it is *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* a flaw in Evolution. Playing around underneath your applications is *BAD*. The correct way would just be to delete the IMAP account, restart Evolution, and re-add the IMAP account.
