Subject: more trouble deleting mail
Package: evolution
Version: 2.0.3-1.2
This time, I had plenty of disk space. :-)
While I don't have exact numbers, the problem
went something like this:
1. have 5100 messages in the Inbox
2. mark 100 messages for deletion (via a VFolder)
3. expunge
4. now 5200 messages, with 200 marked to delete!
5. expunge
6. now 5300, with 300 marked to delete!
That is, the to-be-deleted messages are in triplicate.
Rather than deleting them, evolution reproduces them.
Oh, that's cute.
Offensive work-around hack:
1. kill evolution
2. run "elm -f .evolution/mail/local/Inbox"
3. delete messages using elm
4. manually delete mysterious database files
5. restart evolution, if still desired
Obviously, evolution is an excellent Microsoft Outlook clone.
IMHO, it would be irresponsible to allow this package into
a Debian release. Mail reliability is serious business.
