Let me get this straight. You want to be able to logoff with evolution
running and when you login again you want all the unread e-mail to still
be unread and I assume that you want deleted messages to have
disappeared,
Well it is clear this is not how evolution works and I for one don't
want it work that way. I find Evolution in F7 better than it has ever
been. Its spam removal is first rate where before it was poor. Anyone
who doesn't like evolution should stop using it.
