Thanks guys.. for some reason now, it works as supposed to. Have no clue why it would not drag 'n drop before.
Was Evolution busy with background processing?
Unlike Thunderbird, which often doesn't let you do much while it is doing folder processing, Evolution still lets you interact when it is doing some -- although some things might not work (like dragging e-mails to a folder it is processing).
I've seen an extrodinary amount of commentary on Evolution as of late, and all of it is based on assumptions of how other programs work. Even Evolution's most advanced and unique features are wholly misunderstood for the advantages they provide.
Such as some of its background processing whereas Thunderbird and other programs will be unresponsive when they are doing such.
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.
