Good for you. I need access to emails when I have no network connectivity. Ie on the road. Which is why I download them all to local folders on my laptop. <snip of useless drivia designed to make the replier look smart> > ---- > until it breaks - i.e., the point of this thread. Yeah, once every 6 years when a folder gets 2GB of data in it, I have to split the folder into a main folder and a sub folder. :rollseyes: Evolution is obviously a really high maintenance, unreliable email client. > Granted, none of that > is necessary...but it's optimal.

If I have a network, I can log into my gmail account and I have full access. And if my laptop quits, I still have full access via gmail.
