Well, I am an inexpert user of both Ubuntu and Evolution, so no doubt 
there may be something that I haven't configured that might speed things 
up. But in it's current state, on my system (warty, updated daily) in 
conjunction with my imap server (fastmail, don't know what software), I 
find Evolution to be by far the slowest email client I have ever used. 
Thunderbird and mutt are 10's of seconds faster on many operations.

No doubt there are many variables which could make the experience vary 
wildly, but I can tell you as fact that mine is not in the 'pleasant' 
ballpark.

That disagreement aside, thanks for the synchronisation setting 
suggestion (I did have it set already as it happens).

Cheers,

CB.
