    Hi guys,

    I recently switched back to fedora from suse9.1

    I decided to give good old gnome a bash, but using evolution I noticed that
    mail retrieving took quite a long time. Well what can you expect from a super
    busy list.
    The question is why when I switched back to KDE does Kmail retrieve mail so
    much faster.
    Going out on a limb here I suppose it has some thing to do with the when and
    how it sorts mail. I have the same filters in place on kmail as on evolution
    and am subscribed to 16 mailing lists and 6 news groups.

    So the filter I have in place are definatly not the issue, and since kmail is
    noticabley faster that eliminate the fact that my server could be slow or
    busy.

    In my test which I conducted today I set evolution (currently my default) to
    leave messages on the server.
    Tonight I backup my evolution folder, I then configured my account in
    evolution and kmail both set to leave messages on the server.

    Evolution downloaded the 1500 odd emails in 5 minutes while kmail downloaded
    the same (give or take about 10 mails) in 30 seconds.

    Is this a common observation or is there something that is not functioning
    correctly in my evolution setup?

    TIA
