Those are noble goals, but while you don't need GNOME to run Evolution, this is still a UNIX application. That said, quickly googling around yielded some results for Windows versions of Evolution. See for instance http://shellter.sourceforge.net/evolution/ for a fairly recent (though not completely) version of Evolution that installs or runs on Windows.

I'm not in a position to answer your question directly. However, I'll tell you what I do to handle a similar case. I keep two different inbox mailboxes; one for personal and the other for corporate mail. I've created a mail filter based on the "origin account" with an action that moves all e-mail coming from that account to a given folder I created. You could add one such rule for each of your 4 accounts (or you can use 3 and leave one as the default). I was hoping to hear opinions from others as well, but from my personal experience, it seems people here are shy when it comes to share information about their workflows.

If you read my original post you'll find out that that is exactly what I'm doing now. However, it's been suggested that such usage of virtual folders might be the cause of Evolution consuming several hundreds of megabytes of RAM at any time. I'm trying to free up some RAM so I can work more smoothly in other applications, so I'd like to avoid this "umbrella" virtual folder. I had to upgrade the computer to 2 GB of RAM because 1 GB wasn't enough: Evolution was taking over 1/3 of it and I don't think my mailboxes are that big, really.

Well, this is what my current workflow looks like, only that I need to work with two inbox folders (personal and work) and several mailing lists, whose messages are sorted by different filters into corresponding folders. Assuming that you also sort your e-mail in folders according to source, or projects, or mailing lists, or any other criteria, how do you scale your two-bit system to cope with multiple folders?

[Evolution] E-mail tracking - workflow inquiry
I'm using Evolution 2.10.1 and I'd like to hear the community's view on best practices for my current workflow. In particular, I would like to hear how you keep all your pending e-mail at a glance. That is, how you track unread e-mail (this one is easy by default), but also e-mail you have read, but still need to act upon. For instance, sometimes I need to reply to an e-mail, but I have to wait to get some information from a third-party, or I'm waiting for an answer to an e-mail and I don't want to forget, or I need to work on a request and then get back to the sender. I like to keep these e-mails handy until I can fully process them. I receive e-mail from several e-mail accounts through POP3 and local delivery. E-mail is moved to different folders according to mailing list and source account; I leave the main inbox for personal e-mail and have a subfolder for my corporate e-mail. I don't have any remote folders at the time. I used to mark pending e-mail as unread, but that proved unmanageable whenever I had 30 of those and new e-mail arrived. I would accidentally mark some as read, or miss _really_ unread incoming e-mail. Currently, I have created a virtual folder so I can track the e-mail that I haven't read and that is pending a response. The folder groups unread messages, messages I mark with with the Important tag, those marked as "Follow Up" and last those with the "Pending task" label. I spend about 95% of the time I use Evolution in that folder, leaving aside mail reading and composing, of course. My current workflow works, but I'm having a problem that makes me question this approach. Namely the fact that Evolution allocates several hundreds of megabytes for its process. More so if you include EDS. I've read that virtual folders could be the origin of the huge memory usage, so I'm trying to get rid of them or, at least, avoid having a single virtual folder that pulls all the mailboxes. Looking forward to your input. -- Javier Kohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: blashyrkh #2361802 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Esta parte del mensaje está firmada digitalmente ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
