[Evolution] no messages in IMAP box?

[Mecallie]

Hi folks,

I just installed RH 8.0 and updated everything via the RH network.
After setting up Evolution (1.08) everything seems to work (when I send a message it shows up in Thunderbird under XP) but I cannot see any messages in my Inbox. No in my Sent/Trash/Etc. box for that matter.

I have tried messing around with Evolution, including deleting the Evolution directory, but it does not seem to work. I do not get an error message either, just nothing shows up ;(

Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem might be :?
Just in case you are wondering: I am using the IMAP protocol on my Thunderbird/XP setup too, so there _are_ messages on the server

TIA!

Did you try to subscribe to folders? Or how about check mail in all folders option? Perhaps the folder bar isn't open on the left? Maybe I can help with a screenshot.

Darn, I am a duft moron...
The problem was me: I was checking the "Inbox" folder on the left. I should have checked the "Inbox" folder on the top and selected "Inbox (2)". So your answer solved the problem: the folder bar wasn't open so I was opening my local inbox wich, ofcourse, does not contain any messages. Thanks!

Subscribing to folders does not work b.t.w., it does not show any servers. And the check all mail option is on

Darn, I feel like a complete *******.
