Public bug reported:
I have set up several folders on an imap account to organize my mail and
wrote some filter rules, mainly to move incoming mail to those folders.
When filters are run that point to a folder whose name contains spaces,
i get an error message complaining about an invalid folder address,
quoting the offending address roughly like this
"some_number_path/to/folder/firstword%20secondword"
I tried to rename folders to eliminate the space character shown as %20.
That solved the problem for me and filters run.
If spaces are allowed in the IMAP standard, evolution should be able to handle
them.
If not, it should provide a meaningful message to the user suggesting to rename
the offending folder(s).
Thanks to the team,
Markus
