What to do about evolution that keep downloading mail that i have in my inbox

What's your email provider ?
What protocol are you using to receive mail ? POP, IMAP, ... ?

thanks

am using both pop imap

Henry

For receiving mails try pop instead of imap.

if you put pop it would not pull the mails

Henry

Can you give me all the settings you have setup (Type of server, server address...) ?
You can find them in "Edit" > "Settings".

Do you want to view your mails on an other computer?
Can you tell me if you cheched the box "leave mails on server" in your henry@creativekichens.. account settings, please?

thanks

its checked, i have to leave message on the server just in-case i want to get back to it

Connect to http://mail.live.com, are your mails marked as "read" (not bold)?

Thanks

they are not marked as read they are bold

There's a new feature in Hotmail: mails deleted by email clients are saved under "Trash > POP" in Hotmail.
Go in your Hotmail settings and make sure that "Don't let another program delete messages from Hotmail..." is checked, then try to check the box "leave mails on server" in Evolution, you can still access your mails via your hotmail trash.

If you absolutly want to keep mails on inbox, i've found some solutions:
- In evolution, backup your settings (File > Backup settings...), delete your hotmail account then add it again.
or
- Enable a redirection from your hotmail account to another mail account.
or
- Use thunderbird.
