When I fire up Evolution, I see my entire list of folders, first thing. So I don't understand your phraseology "look in all those other folders to see if something has arrived". I have dozens of folders, and every time I download my latest email, any folder that has new arrivals is clearly flagged, including the *number* of new messages that just hit that folder. So I don't have to "look in all those other folders" ; all I have to do is scan the list to see which ones might have new traffic. So for example, if I fetch my current traffic, and my "Evolution" folder shows three new messages, and I'm too busy to tend to them at the moment, I just ignore them; every subsequent time I open Evolution, that reminder will still be there. I have long observed that filters and folders seem to be widely underused, and that's really a shame. They can save us untold wasted minutes and hours if properly set up. And their intelligent use pretty much obviates any perceived "advantages" to "Digest" mode.
