I have an imap connection to a local mail server and when I
try to view some folders evolution doesn't show me any mail
in the folder. It was just happening on one folder which
just had some archive stuff in that I didn't care about but
now it is doing it on an important folder which I need
access to.
There is mail in there, if I check with mutt I can read the mail without any problems, also an ls on the directory shows the files in there. Of the two broken folders, one has around 20 mails, the other over 1000. The broken one was working till I did some re-arranging of other folders at the same level as the broken one. I didn't touch the broken one. I've tried moving the folders file from the .evolution directory to force evolution to reindex the folders but that didn't help |
This task depends upon
I've also tried filtering for things that I know are in there but that isn't showing anything.
I would have thought that the filter would be stored in a file in the folders directory, as I cleared the folders directory and then went to the folder in evolution no filter should be stuck anywhere
I've gone through a few other folders I don't regularly use and found that this problem is happening on quite a few, all the problem folders are ones with sub-folders. There are some folders with sub-folders which are working ok so it isn't a simple problem.
If I use mutt I can see the mail in the affected folder fine.
Evolution 2.22.1-1 has been released in extra.
Do you still have this issue with the new version ?
Did you have a look at Gnome's bug tracker to see if this is an Arch releated issue or an upstream related issue ?
Thank you very much for those information.
I did have a search around when I first raised the bug but couldn't find any other reports of it. I'll have another look now.
The timing is good, I have a folder that was working fine till I added a sub-folder to it a couple of days ago, now I can't see anything in that folder. Even after moving that subfolder to another place I still can't see anything in the original one.
Some I can toggle but then when I go back in and check the settings the state has returned to the previous one. Upstream says that the subscription code isn't the best so there is probably a bug in there somewhere.
