That unpleasant behavior does sound familiar - IIRC it spent approx half an hour busily creating gigantic databases and littering my email subtree with its bookkeeping files when I tried it a few months ago. >Next question: What's people's favorite e-mail systems? Mine are >EXMH (by far #1) E

I switched from exmh to Evolution about two months ago. I had been using exmh in its various incantations (MH, nmh, xmh, mmh, exmh) since 1991 or so. I liked it, and found nothing wrong with it, but it was not "mainstream" to the project that I am now devoting a lot of my time, so I switched to s
