No Local Folders
I am looking for a client to move to from Mac Mail. Evolution looked the best in my research, but there's one feature I must have and I am not sure if it has it. Local Mail FOLDERS.
I spent hours online and all I can find is topics/pages about local mail "accounts". this is not the same thing, I don't even know what a local mail account is.
I have 20 years worth of email, organised into a large number of nested LOCAL ("On My Mac") folders. I don't fancy paying to store 20 yrs of email on a mailserver when I only keep them for the unlikely event of needing to refer back to them for legal reasons.
Local folders have always been possible in professional email packages like Outlook, Mac Mail, and even Thunderbird. Is it possible in Evolution?
I have asked around and the closest I can get to it (from users of Evolution) is to do a 'hack' by adding a 'local account', which creates a set of default folders I neither want, nor need, and then use those for local folders. I don't want a hack, I want an actual feature to store email locally, on the machine, rather than on the server.
Can Evolution do this? If not, is there any particular reason? If yes, pray tell! Thanks
(PS I tried to find contact details but all I could find was Gnome page/site and the "Contact Us" page is 404. So hoping this finds someone able to answer.)
