Using exchange, neither "mark messages as read" nor "refresh" fixes the problem. Occasionally, a crash or an "evolution --force-shutdown" actually does force a refresh. When that happens, a number of previously read messages equal to the former ghost unreads become marked unread. For a while, the correct unread count shows up -- until all messages are read. Then an incorrect message count appears. I think this is a serious bug because "normal" users can't tolerate it, and sys admins for those users can't deploy evo if it freaks out users that way. For personal use, it is a mere annoyance. For deployment in my company, it is a deal breaker. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [email protected] Philadelphia, PA 19144 267-615-3172 _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
