hi all, long ago I think evolution could store emails that had already been downloaded in maildir format. it was buggy, i struggled with it a lot and eventually went back to mbox because i kept losing emails.
it's been several years since i last looked at that and now i think i'd like to look at it again. except i can't find any way to specify that a given mailbox should be in maildir format. i see some articles pointing out how the mail-notify feature supports maildir. but i'd rather not work with postfix (or qmail or whatever) to have them use maildir format. instead, i want evolution to download the email through pop3 (since i check my mail from gmail anyway) and then just store the emails locally via maildir. i figure, with reiserfs performance with very many small files, and deletions and moves of emails and filters automatically moving email from one folder to another, etc, maildir should give me performance benefits, not just with those operations, but also when i'm rsyncing from my home computer to my work computer and vice versa. yes, i'll look into thunderbird and kmail/kontact sometime. but it's not going to be anytime soon. i'd really rather stick with evolution for now (vfolder support! and legacy filters and everything else). thanks for any pointers or discussion. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotremetech.blogspot.com Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Optimization -- Prototype before polishing.
