Re: [Evolution] Send/Receive on specific MailAccount - Minimum Poll-Time-Error - Passwords lost

[Richard Kircheis <tinyisland web de>]

Hi Thomas,

some Linux-Installations (SuSE) ago I had my own Imap-Server (Cyrus)
which did all that stuff for me. But this time I tried to use the
Ubuntu-Distribution "as it is", without special configuration. Now I
accept that Evolution 2.28.3 has not the feature to do that "specific
send/receive". I know I should not touch that "Send/Receive"-Button (in
my configuration), and also keep my Mouse away from that little
"Offline/Online" Button in the left lower corner. But I am happy not be
be forced to use M$-Software...

Thanks a lot for all your help,

best Regards,

Richard
