I've just given evolution another chance and the same stupid thing happened that's happened every time I've tried to use it:

I go through the setup wizard choosing IMAP as my protocol. I'm grateful that it lets me set all of the important options before trying to connect. I tell it to go ahead and remember my password, then I'm done and it says:

Could not get inbox for new mail store:
You didn't enter a password.
No shortcut will be created.

I've never used the shortcut anyway.  I go straight to folder view.  In
fact the shortcut bar is the first thing I always turn off.

I forgot to mention that you can right-click on any folder in the folder
view and add a shortcut for it to the shortcut bar.

Drat. This means /I/ misunderstood what evolution was capable of. I'm confused about the whole local folders thing. I've never used local folders on /any/ mail client. Why would I?

so I guess the question becomes: How can I have my default account really be my default account? Specifically I'd like the Summary page to link to /my/ INBOX and /not/ the local folders INBOX.

I've googled a bit and found little if anything. I can enter my password later, but then it isn't set up the way I'd like it. I want to not have any local folders at all if I could, and I want my Inbox to be the IMAP inbox so that in the "Summary" view it will tell me how many new messages are in my inbox, rather than that my unused local inbox is still empty.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or better yet, found a solution to it?

Thanks,

Andrew Jorgensen
