Evolution deletes mail by putting it into a virtual folder and hiding the original message in your inbox. This is ok and seamless to the end user UNLESS you happen to also use webmail. In which case your inbox will be cluttered by messages you thought you'd gotten rid of ages ago. The evolution team has flat out refused to address this issue and has been calling this 'not a bug' (which is true) since 2001. If the webmail system is displaying messages which are quite clearly marked as deleted, that's a bug in the webmail system. If I delete a message in Evolution (which then gets striked out as I have Hide Deleted Message unchecked), when I view the same folder with Mutt the deleted messages are marked as Pending Delete. Exactly what is expected. If you want Evolution to really delete all pending messages when it quits, select Empty Trash On Exit. 2. Same as above but for Junk Mail. I use evolution as my primary email system but sometimes I have to use webmail. When I do, all the nicely identified and hidden spam reappears in both webmail and evolution. From a guess it sounds like the webmail client is resetting flags it doesn't understand. Again, the solution is to empty the Junk folder.

[Evolution-hackers] Should I unref a CamelMesageInfoBase?
Hi, Must I unref a reference to a message info when retrieved by camel_folder_summary_uid()? This function increases the refcount before returning it. I can see from gw_update_summary() in the GroupWise provider that it never unrefs the reference. Is that wrong? Thanks, jules ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

I'm just telling you these are real annoyances. For instance. I often leave evolution running 24 hours a day on my workstation at work because then it nicely filters incoming emails into real imap folders. Filtering on IMAP is sub-optimal due to various issues, it's recommended to use server-side filtering in this case. Junk mail does not get filtered into a real imap folder so as soon as I connect with my webmail client, spam gets splattered back into my inbox. The built-in junk filter (in my opinion) only works well when Evolution fetches the mail itself, in the IMAP case this doesn't happen. Have you tried creating another filter with the Messsage Is Junk test to move all junk mail to a real folder?

Evolution deletes mail by setting the IMAP deleted flag on the message. Evolution also adds the optional ability to hide deleted messages from view if you want, and to have a virtual folder that can show you all deleted messages if you want. If you don't want evolution to hide the deleted messages, simply uncheck the Hide Deleted Messages option in the View menu. And if you don't want to see your deleted messages in the trash virtual folder, just don't look there ;) And if you want to expunge all the deleted messages out of your imap folder, so you will never see them again, or be able to recover them, hit ctrl-E, or select Expunge from the Folder menu. -- Brett Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
