Jeff,

yes, I hadn't to do that since evo 0.9 ...

But now I get strange errors after a crash and a restart like

Error while Opening folder imap://emmel@iris.abaqus.de/INBOX/2005.
No such folder INBOX/2005

and evolution doesn't show me that folder but it is truly there. On the
terminal I see

(evolution:968): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Folder
'imap://emmel@iris.abaqus.de/INBOX/2005' disappeared while I was
adding/remove it to/from my vfolder
...

Maybe I have to remove those folders from the vfolders but that was one
of the
big points of evolution I used every day.
That happens now with IMAP (not 4rev1), but I have seen that with
IMAP4rev1
too.

Other errors are, e.g.:
Error while performing operation.

Failed to append to INBOX/Sent: IMAP4 server iris.abaqus.de unexpectedly
disconnected: Invalid argument
Appending to local `Sent' folder instead..

Does anyone can tell me how I can debug that in more detail?

Is it worthy to move all my mails to IMAP, all my contacts to ldap and
restart with a
new, clean configuration of evolution?

Not Zed said that
> Passwords are in ~/.gconf2_private/

I don't have such a folder!
Is there a way to "forget only some passwords"?

Kind regards

Thomas
