*Here's my question... since the user's mail instance (Evolution) is 
different from the webmail, when she starts a new IMAP instance, I think 
it will build from the server's mail and folder structure and not what's 
on her laptop. So, if she wants her IMAP mail to match her existing 
laptop contents, don't we need to clean up the server side? Or am I 
confused :->*

*thx*
