There's a setting you must check when you set up your mail host so it
doesn't delete the mail. It's usually just a check box. And it's almost
always the default to delete the mail from the server.

Evolution is pretty good, especially for its "Views". You don't need to have
messages residing in a single folder, they live in logical views. You can
have messages from "Joe Friday" live in the "Joe" view AS WELL AS in the
"LAPD" view.

I thought the latest version of Evolution had drop-down email addresses but
maybe I'm wrong. I haven't used it since March, so I don't really remember.
I still pretty much have to use Lookout, I mean Outlook.

Give Evolution another try, it's pretty good. I still swear by Eudora, but
Evolution is probably the next best thing.
