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. -- Snowman
