It's an entirely different email client that uses its own backend protocols. The fact that the Gmail *service* is also available via IMAP doesn't mean that the Gmail *web client* is IMAP-based. Nor are they always in synch. I frequently see updated folder contents on Evolution which are not updated on the web interface until an appreciable time later, sometimes on the order of minutes. I also sometimes delete a message on the web interface and it's still listed in the folder contents on Evolution, though if I click on it it then shows as "missing". poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, indeed there was another instance of Evolution running on another machine. I changed that and now it seems to work. I have no idea though why or how the other instance may sabotage my imap operations.

It means that the message is either copied & deleted or straight moved to the other folder, depending whether the server supports the MOVE extension. Is the message stored both in the archive folder and in the source folder after it re-appears, or it's not in the archive folder at all? Some servers (notably Gmail) have pretty aggressive "de-duplication", based on the Message-ID header, not allowing to store the same message (well, not really the same, just two messages with the same Message-ID) in two folders, though I doubt it has any impact here. You can see what is happening in the background when you run Evolution from a terminal like this: $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution It'll print raw communication between the server and the client for all your IMAP accounts. It's not suitable to be shared in public, due to it containing a lot of private information, but you can check whether the message had been copied to the archive folder by searching for the archive folder name in the log (or for UID COPY/UID MOVE, which should mention the archive folder name). You can also add "UID" column into the message list [1] and check whether the UID of the message changed or not. You can search the captured log for the UID to see what had been done with it (if I recall correctly, multiple folders can have the same UID, thus it can be tricky).

Re: [Evolution] Cannot Archive Messages Keep Showing Up
Hi, many thanks for the fast reply! * Version is 3.34.1-2. * Yes, I mean the "Archive" button, and I configured also a folder for that. "normally/ mostly" it works well and messages are moved to the folder. * The archive folder and the source folder (subfolder of Inbox) are both on the same IMAP server. I just ran evolution from the terminal and was able to reproduce the error but no such messages printed to the terminal.

Hi, let me start with some basic questions: What is your Evolution version, please? With Archive, I suppose you mean Message->Archive feature, right? I suppose you've set the messages to be moved to some folder. What is the account type you archive messages from? What is the account type you archive messages to? Could you try to run Evolution from a terminal, to see whether any error message is shown there, please? I guess there would not be much related shown, unless a big failure would happen.

Hi all, I have a problem properly archiving messages. Some are "resistent" to this operation and keep showing up. At first, I thought this is related to the "group by thread" feature, but also when I disable this, some messages fail to archive. Anyone can help? Thanks!
