> 1) Is Evolution supposed to fetch mail when it is opened? (e.g.

"On my system it does, but I use Evolution with an IMAP server, not POP.
I just tested using POP and it does not seem to check at start. I think
that's a problem, too.
I think you've found a legit bug. I think the workaround is to simply
hit F9 when you start Evo and set your mail retrieval interval to
something reasonably short (like 5 minutes or so)"
**I have been using exactly that workaround for a couple of years. I'll
stay with it.**
"but I might just not understand what you need."
**What I needed at this point was someone somewhere to respond and let
me know I wasn't going nuts or completely incompetent. Thank you
Thomas.**
"Actually, I almost passed by your posting because it was so long. I
don't know about others on this list but I have a pretty short attention
span. :-)"
**I don't usually write long messages, but if you follow the plot line
you can see that it stared out as a simple query.**
**The personalized printouts can be solved another day.**
Thanks again Thomas,
Sincerely Bill
