NoZed, we must be doing something different. Here's the first thing I tried: - connect modem (click modemlights applet) - start evolution - wait for the INBOX to show up - disconnect modem (click the modemlights applet) - in evolution, click the connect button (evolution lower left button) - click cancel in the evolution popup window - connect modem (click the modemlights applet) At this point, evolution hangs, meaning that at the bottom, it displays "Scanning folders in "IMAP..." and messages do not show up in the preview window when I click on them. I left it undisturbed for 10 minutes and it remained frozen in that state. I don't know, maybe it's a thread contention but the bottom line is that I can't read email until evolution is killev'ed and restarted. As far as I know, this is reasonably close to what happens when my modem connection goes down on its own. There are a lot of other ways I can get to this state. Could you try this experiment? Jeff Stedfast ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) says that UW IMAP is bad juju. If you don't get the same hang that I do, do you think it's because of the type of IMAP server UW has?
