[Evolution] New problems with 0.15 and IMAP

[Pascal DeMilly]

My experience is actually the opposite. I use exclusively IMAP folders.
I have over 10 IMAP accounts with over 40 folders. I move e-mail between
each of them all the time. Some of these folders contain thousands of
messages. I haven't experienced any major problems with Evolution and
IMAP. The IMAP server I am using is Courier-IMAP which uses Maildir as a
store. One point that might be important is that the access to my IMAP
server is over a LAN.

Just wanted to share my experience with you. It might not be an
Evolution issue after all.

Regards

Pascal
