I'm getting the same error message on my system. Error while Sending message. Failed to append to maildir:/home/alex/.local/share/evolution/mail/local;need-summary-check=no#Sent: Cannot get folder '/home/alex/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Sent': not a maildir directory. Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead.
I started getting the error after reinstalling Natty because I'd installed Gnome3 and it was causing errors (but not in evolution) on my system. After a clean re-install of Natty, Evolution had lost all my emails, I found the files and copied them back into an empty folder allowing evolution to create the extra files it needed. But it seems something is missing. I don't know if it's a bug but if there's a way of creating a Sent maildir directory that'd be nice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803748 Title: Always error message while sending a mail Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It cames with a fresh installation of ubuntu natty 64bit. Fresh evolution profile. Every time I send an email I get the following error message: "Error while Sending message. Failed to append to maildir:/home/lviggiani/.local/share/evolution/mail/local;need-summary-check=no#Sent: Cannot get folder '/home/lviggiani/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Sent': not a maildir directory. Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead." BTW the mail is actually sent and saved in Sent evolution folder. However this error is annoying as you always have to check whether you have this (fake) error or something else.
