A couple of months ago, I reported that I was having problems with Evolution (1.4.5, on RH 9, KDE 3.1) in that it was not showing new mail in my IMAP folders. My server runs UW IMAP (Maildir) and Qmail, and I am using Procmail to filter messages into folders as they arrive on the server.
All the feedback I received seemed to point the problem to an issue at my end, probably with my account (although Mozilla Mail doesn't seem to have the problem). This past weekend, I bit the bullet and rebuilt my server account. I copied all my IMAP and data folders away, blew away my account and re-created it. I created a couple of Procmail rules (as blowing the account away had cleaned those up), and all seemed well - messages were arriving and I was being notified (although the "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX" setting seemed to stop new messages in the Inbox from being flagged until I set it off and then on again - so perhaps all was not as well as I thought...). I decided to migrate my mail back from where I'd copied it to, a folder at a time. I did this last night, and when I got home from work today, the situation is back to where it was a couple of months ago - new mail is simply not being shown as having arrived, and in fact, I seem to have to select a folder, move to another folder, and then move back to the first folder before it will show new mail in it. I'm very frustrated by all of this - I like Evo, and very much want to use the calendar and to do features, but it's getting to the point where I am totally confused as to what is going on here, and why. Jeffrey Stedfast looked at a trace the first time I had this issue, and could not see anything wrong from the Evo side, so I'm wondering, does anyone else on the list use UW IMAP and Procmail (in my case, on the Mitel SME Server, which is a Red Hat 7.2 derivative)? I currently have 44 folders, and 20-odd Procmail rules. I have Evo set to check new mail every 2 minutes, have "Check for new messages in all folders" set on, and currently have the "Apply filters..." not set. I tested my setup last week with a different account on the same server, with a couple of Procmail rules, using a bulk mail shell script to inject messages into the process, and it seemed to be working fine, which is another reason I thought my account may have been the issue. Is it possible that there is a limitation on the number of folders one can have? I would very much appreciate any assistance.
