yes, that is the imap message cache (you are free to rm -rf anything in there if you want, though it'd be better to not rm -f the summary file or evolution will have to do a massive re-FETCH of the message headers again - the other files are safe to delete without any repercussions except that it might take longer to load that message in the viewer the next time you open it since we will have to download it instead of reading from the cache, obviously). > and if it is - Is > there a way to modify a setting so that message information is not > stored locally? no. there is a feature request about this here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21894 (came across it just now looking for another bug) Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
