Hi All, I saw the comment about Evolution's IMAP performance in this recent thread on the Cyrus list and thought it might be of interest here.

No client is perfect. Being an old-time user of Pine, it's always a pain to use Thunderbird or Evolution, clients so feature-full but w/o decent imap behavior: sometimes I have to switch back to Pine to be able to handle 50k+ new messages per folder in a decent time (Pine takes negligible time to open them). .TM. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
