I’m puzzled by the way Evolution handles the Junk folder. The filters work great to move mail from the Inbox to Junk where appropriate, and most of the time I am sure that the right message has been transferred. However I can’t resist clicking on the Junk folder just to check that junk is junk before exit empties it, only to find that Evolution tries to help me by opening the first junk message. This is appropriate in the Inbox, but in Trash and Junk a more appropriate action might be to wait for me to click a message - all I need initially is to review the subject lines. I’ve looked for an option to not open the first or any message on select folder, but have not found one. How do you Evolution guys deal with this situation?
By “open the message,” do you mean the preview? You can turn this off by going to your junk folder and in the view menu, uncheck Preview -> Show Message Preview.
Exactly what I was looking for and had missed. Thankyou.
