Hi guys, I recently switched back to fedora from suse9.1 I decided to give good old gnome a bash, but using evolution I noticed that mail retrieving took quite a long time. Well what can you expect from a super busy list. The question is why when I switched back to KDE does Kmail retrieve mail so much faster. Going out on a limb here I suppose it has some thing to do with the when and how it sorts mail. I have the same filters in place on kmail as on evolution and am subscribed to 16 mailing lists and 6 news groups. So the filter I have in place are definatly not the issue, and since kmail is noticabley faster that eliminate the fact that my server could be slow or busy. In my test which I conducted today I set evolution (currently my default) to leave messages on the server. Tonight I backup my evolution folder, I then configured my account in evolution and kmail both set to leave messages on the server. Evolution downloaded the 1500 odd emails in 5 minutes while kmail downloaded the same (give or take about 10 mails) in 30 seconds. Is this a common observation or is there something that is not functioning correctly in my evolution setup?
