    evolution not showing all new messages

    Hi,

    Amongst many other annoyances and problems with my setup, the most major one is as follows:

    I use evolution on my home computer to manage my email...when i was at my friends house today, i logged in to my mail via godaddys webmail service....after checking my mail and returning home, i notices that some of my new messages that i viewed on the webmail were showing as they should (unread) in evolution...

    however, a few of the messages were completely absent...i then returned to my account through webmail and sifted through all the emails that were in my inbox(all unread as I havent used the service much as i have always had my computer with me)...i noticed more than a few messages that were there that i didnt receive in my evolution inbox....

    is that a problem with my email provider through godaddy, or a problem with evolution?

    evolution often locks up on me and crashes, so i am thinking it might be something to do with it....thinking about switching to thunderbird and hoping for better results, but i am so used to evolution now...argh

    any advice, suggestions?

    thanks

    I give two thumbs up to thunderbird, it's pretty easy to switch over and I've found it to be a lot more functional. Be warned though...Thunderbird 3 is a "love it or hate it"....tabbed emails, auto configure (which is a bug that they are working on), etc...can't please everyone though I guess
