Hi all, I've recently found that evolution is missing the most basic feature...a mailstore export feature. Surely if MS Outlook has it, i think thunderbird does aswell then novell or whoever devs it these days, could build it into evolution! There's something you can do to select all the messages in a folder and then go save as .mbx, but you're a bit stuck if you've got lots of folders in your inbox! Any suggestions for a good all round mail client?
