So the imap protocol wont (necessarily) tell us when new mail arrives in another folder. But that shouldn't matter - because when the unread count goes up evo now knows there is new mail in that folder, so why doesn't evolution check that folder (just like it does when I select the folder)? My other point is that it used to work as one would expect with evolution-2.0.4 - ie, as soon as the unread count went up, the vfolder unread count went up too. > > (PS. please reply just to the list, not to me as well :) > > Dont have time to pick the right address. isn't it just "reply to list" instead of "reply to all"? If you really don't have time, then I can put up with it. It wasn't directed just at you specifically, I notice a few people do it.
