I'm curious, assumed this should be the only use case I wish to get and it would be ok to keep all mails on the ISP's server. It isn't, but assumed it would be. How does IMAP help to retrieve all mails with Evolution and to retrieve just the latest mails with a mobile device, with archiving all mails by Evolution. AFAIK it would either require to delete old mails with Evolution, but then I couldn't archive them, or to retrieve all mails with the mobile device, too.
