This is an intentional change in behavior of the new version. Many IMAP clients have this option, then why disable it ?!? Think about how many users won't choose Evolution for this behaviour ! I think this option should be left working. My users already told that won't use Evolution for this ! (they are working with Mozilla, but I'm trying to switch to Evolution because it's more featured with calendars, etc...) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Most email clients under Linux tend to store email in directories underneath ~/.mail - prior to Evolution 1.2, you could specify to override the server provided folder namespace so that all saved folders are located underneath ~/.mail (you can do this by configuring the options under Mail Account settings). When you subscribe to a "mail folder" underneath ~/mail - the folder list in the left pane of Evolution would show something like the following: INBOX | - Miscellaneous Mail | - Jokes - Information With Evolution 1.2, ~/.mail shows up as a subfolder (even if you attempt to override the namespace): INBOX | - ~/mail | - Miscellaneous Mail | - Jokes - Information This is not normal behavior in most working IMAP client email applications. The old trick was to delete all configured email servers, remove the ~/.mailboxlist file, add the servers back (and properly configure them), and then re-subscribe to the folders. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description. Actual Results: ~/.mail appears as a subfolder. Expected Results: ~/.mail should be handled transparently by Evolution and should not appear in the folder list. Additional info: $ rpm -q evolution evolution-1.2.0-2 $ rpm -q imap imap-2001a-15
