*nod* I'm giving it another day, but I suspect I'll be downgrading. The
problem I'm having is that message counts aren't getting displayed on
each folder (I have a TON of incoming email folders, ala procmail); I
only got it to display the messages counts once, and that appears to have
been a fluke.

I've also seen problems with it not exiting when the main window goes
away on an exit; I expect a few processes to stick around (1.4 had a
couple that always remained running), but I was finding 16-20 "evolution"
processes still happily chugging away. (I'd REALLY love "killev" to be
included for cases like that...;-)

And yeah, I've been able to coax it into crashing quite a bit so far.

*nod* I can live with the ordering, as long as it's "stable" (ie. doesn't
keep changing out from under me each time I hit the IMAP server), but I
can't see any rhyme or reason to the ordering either.

Still, I'm going to give it a little bit longer, see if anything else
major pops up.
