I tried the SELECT INBOX thing. I got similar options
to the ones you described. I changed the setting in
evolution from espersunited.com to 192.168.1.2 and it
brought up the default IMAP folders. I guess I should
have tried that earlier. I still need to work out the
kinks with my router/DNS, but I'll work on that
tomorrow. Thanks for all your help! I just hope I
can figure the other things out later...
