(Note that 3.18.x is no longer supported. The current stable version is 3.22.) This kind of usage pattern is exactly what IMAP was created to deal with. Workarounds using POP and per-machines deletion policies are kludges at best. I strongly encourage the OP to use IMAP if it's available on his mail service. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
