"Leave in the server UNTIL I DELETE THEM" function

Hi everybody!

I have been monitoring Evolution's development for several years, however my email client is Thunderbird.

Do you know why do I use Thunderbird?

That is only by one simple functionality that doesn't have Evolution.

In Thunderbird, the option to "Leave email in the server" have an aditional "Until I delete them" wich help me organize my email not only in my pc, but also in my email server.

Why not to add this function in Evolution?

Greetings,

Max

You haven't stated what type of account you're using: POP or IMAP (or
something else entirely).  Evolution already supports leaving downloaded
messages on a POP server for X number of days.

But from what you describe it sounds like you're trying to use a POP
account (where messages are downloaded from a mail server to a single
computer -- best suited for dial-up or intermittent network connections)
like it's an IMAP account (where messages are left on the mail server
and manipulated through one or more mail client programs -- best suited
for broadband or other "always-on" network connections).

If that's the case you'd be better off using IMAP directly.

In any case, evolution-list@... is a better place for these types
of questions.
