I don't know if this is related, but I have just encountered some Evolution folder-moving weirdness in 11.10.
I was trying to rename or move various local folders (maildir) and would get error messages about non-existent folders/files. I would restart Evolution and then things would look (more) OK. Looking at the folder structure in the file system it appeared that the folders were being renamed in the background (these were big folder hierarchies with hundreds of nested folders) and while the filesysten rename was in progress the Evolution folders wouldn't play nice. (There was also no indication in Evolution that a background operation was running.) Also, when the top-level evolution folder had subfolders but no messages the corresponding filesystem folder didn't exist. If I created a corresponding folder in the filesystem I was then able to rename the folder in Evolution. -- 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/957341 Title: [imap] moving a folder results in its deletion Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool: New Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. drag a folder onto another folder Expected results: 1. folder is moved with its contents to be a subfolder of the folder that it was dropped on Current results: 1. the folder in question gets deleted along with its contents ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: evolution 3.2.3-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-18.29-generic 3.2.9 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 16 20:04:23 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha amd64 (20120226) SourcePackage: evolution UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evolution/+bug/957341/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
