I'm trying to view subject line of new ones and then delete unwanted
messages and spam from the server. So next time I access the account
from a different machine (I keep all messages on server for a year) all
the junk won't download again 'cos it's gone.
I know, maybe I should just centralize it and run a mail server on one
of the machines at home.
But it would be extremely useful if Evolution, or any other mail client
on Linux, had this feature.
