[sylpheed:36266] Re: Synchronizing emails locally

[stef204]

Thanks for your reply, Ernst.

I looked everywhere before posting here and I just cannot see the option you are talking about.

I am using Version 3.4.2 (Build 1159), on Linux 3.18 x86_64.

built with:

./configure --prefix=/usr 
              --enable-ldap

Are you using the windows version perhaps?

I also could just be blind today....but am not seeing it.

PS Are we top posting in this list?
