Eweh! Sorry (although Fedora does eat babies, etc) for any
inconvenience. Could I however ask that you file a bug report about
this to bugzilla.gnome.org (or redhat's BZ) so that this can be
addressed.
I actually use IMAPrev1 and it works wonders (from where I email). It's
faster and more solid than the original implementation and everything I
use works for me (including threading). So I'm a little surprised that
you've had such a nasty experience (especially since this is released
code).
