Are you using Sylpheed or the latest Sylpheed-claws? Sylpheed-claws is the latest stuff in the Sylpheed line from what I understand (sort of like Mozilla vs Netscape I think) I haven't noticed the problem you speak of above using Sylpheed-claws.
I installed sylpheed-0.8.1claws-28 from teh SuSE 8.1 distro CD Every time it reads POP mail, it pops up a dialog box with progress bar, right in front of me. Then, when it reads newsgroups, it freezes.
AT> I still prefer evolution, as it works very nice, is very stable AT> and supply in my mail/office/calendar needs.
I like using the ligher-weight jPilot which synch nice with my Palm for my calendar needs and jPilot also works with Sylpheed. I don't have a complex calendar set up so Evolution seemed a bit of a heavy-weight product for my daily needs. That's the cool thing about Linux, though, - lots of choices:)
Yes, evolution can be a bit of an overkill. Although, it is meant to be more than just a mail reader. I really like to have a choice. :-)
Just curious, can you lock messages so they aren't deleted from a folder and can you color code messages in Evolution? I haven't used it yet since as I mentioned I didn't really need a full "Outlook" oriented package running for my normal e-mail needs.
Evolution don't have a lock function like Sylpheed, but what i do is, I mark messages as 'important'. Then i have a filter that selects messages that is older than a certain amount of days and that is not marked as important. Then I delete those. Unfortunately, it won't prevent you from deleting a message, but you can avoid it. Evolution 1.2 now have the funtionality to colour code your messages. Very handy feature. I won't be too surprised if they add a 'lock' functionality in the near future. :-) -- <---------> Andre Truter <---------> Disclaimer and Confidentiality Warning This message is intended for the addressee only.
