Hi Bryan,
No, there was nothing going on in the background. The evolution on
the workstation actually is just a mirror copy of what I pull in via an
XP box, but prior to today, I'd tried to drag notes into folders, and
its like it didn't recognize a drag 'n drop. I've seen background
processing going on tho, especially when deleting large numbers of
messages from the inbox. Not had any problems with it burping on that,
but I know I am getting to like Evolution better than thunderbird,
especially for the threading. Too bad there is not a win-xp version!
Think I'd switch in a skinny-minute.
