I use Gmail via IMAP and although what you say is true, I haven't noticed any real-world impact. The vast majority of messages have only one label (i.e. are in only one IMAP folder) and I don't download All Mail anyway (in fact I don't sync locally at all). You can even unsubscribe it if you like. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
