One thing I have seen it do, however, is get its caches confused and refuse to show new mail. This happened just this last week where mail that was delivered to my mailbox last Friday morning didn't show up in the reader until Tuesday afternoon. The logs show it was delivered to the mailbox, but for some reason evolution wouldn't show it despite showing all sorts of other new mail that arrived over the weekend. I've hit this a number of times, and the work around was to delete all the disk caches and let them rebuild. Of course, you have to realize that some emails are not being shown to you before you know enough to restart. On the calendaring side, on a number of occasions the Palm sync got messed up and duplicated all of my calendar events. For a while, each time I sync'd it would double the duplicates, causing 1, then 2, then 4, then 8 copies of each event. That was a royal pain to undo. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
