Thanks all. No wonder there was not much info about. Last time I tried it I got stuck and could not make it work. My theory is the IMAP server was not running properly last time. I just set up a test account and that's all no other changes on the server machine and managed to get it working on evolution straight away. Outlook Express seems to have a quirk whereby you can't change a pop account to IMAP once set up but you can select IMAP if you make a new account. Hopefully that might save a few hairs being pulled. Thanks again for the help. Regards Roger -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
