Marked bug 877534 as a duplicate of this here because this bug is a little clearer; so I just linked the upstream bug report too. This is fixed upstream in a small patch that's worth SRU.
See http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data- server/commit/?h=gnome-3-2&id=74b73302f3078a4e4e75ca98f5b73e96b01713a7 Marking In Progress now. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #662524 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662524 ** Also affects: evolution via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662524 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- 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/879305 Title: POP "Leave messages on server" now requires "Days" Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool: Unknown Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “evolution” source package in Oneiric: In Progress Bug description: Evolution 3.x has changed in the POP Receiving Options to have the "Leave Messages On Server" selection linked to the "Days" value. In Evolution 2.x (and probably previous versions) these options were separate. This is very confusing for users who want *all* their POP messages left on the server with no day filtering, and seems non-standard when compared to previous Evolution versions and just about every other POP client that I have encountered. If the "Leave messages on server" option is selected, then the "Days" option should also be required to enabled, not left permanently enabled as if the current situation.
