Hi Everyone,
I've been having an annoying problem with Evolution. I have it configured for IMAP with my work email servers. Sometimes I have messages that are delayed for more than a couple of hours. If I close Evolution and reopen it, the messages are there. Also, if I I change mail folders (go from inbox to sent and back), the messages appear. It seems as if Evolution only does a "hard check" when opening a mailbox for the first time.

I tend to be the kind of person that keeps Evolution open all of the time. I've been forced to install a notification applet just to make sure that I don't miss any important emails.

Is there a way to have Evolution update the mailbox every time that it checks for new messages (I have it set to check every 2 minutes)?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Rob
