Hi Folks,

I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.04 and am using the Evolution mail client version 2.10.1 to access my POP server hosted by 1&1.

I access my emails via two PC's (one running Windows, the other Linux) so have set Evolution (on my Linux PC) to "Leave Message On Server" so they are available to download on my Windows PC (I currently use Windows as my main PC but just want occasional access to email on my Linux PC).

The problem is that when I tell Evolution to "Send & Receive" it downloads all the emails on the POP server even though it has already downloaded them earlier. I am therefore downloading a complete duplicate set of emails each time I do a "Send & Receive" filling my Evolution inbox with multiple copies of the same emails.

Is this a problem with Evolution, Linux, my ISP's POP server, or just because I have incorrectly configured something?

Any suggestions welcome!

Can't really help much (I hate Evolution!) but it sounds like an Evolution problem. It's doing the right thing by leaving the files on the server but it's failing to recognise them again, next time around. I'd think it unlikely that your ISP's server or your operating system (Linux) would be interfering with the mails.

Fiddle with the account settings in Evolution and then try Googling, is my advice!
