Maybe with a different IMAP server or > with different settings? No, there isn't. IMAP folders are not databases, but real files and directories. A directory can only contain files and other subfolders. So if you have a folder called "linux" that contains subfolders, then "linux" is a directory. Evolution gets over this problem by using subfolders containing .db files, so you can have a folder that contains *both* mail *and* subfolders. The word "folder" is confusing... a mail folder is a file, but a directory is also a folder :) I'm sure you'll be able to cope with this. At least it is an easy way to get all your email out of those useless .pst files :) For addressbooks, the best way to go is to export them as .csv files (comma separated values). You'll then have to import them into whatever mail client you are using. Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
