Ubuntu
evolution package

Can evolution mail run more than one account at the same time like Thunderbird?

Asked by Andy Carter

Hi,

I would like to scan and be notified of messages in more than one email account (Hotmail, GMX and Yahoo). Is this possible and I'm just missing something obvious or is it really that this is not possible? It seems like a fairly fundamental piece of functionality but I can find no mention of this anywhere.

Cheers,

Andy Carter

Sure, just go into the accounts section and add another account

Hey, thanks for answering so quickly! The thing is I can't find the accounts section, I looked in file > new but nothing. There is a button on the rhs relating to working in folders and accounts, so I see you are right, but can you tell me where accounts is?

Once again thanks for helping!
