Outbox still shows (1) message waiting for delivery after message deletion

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: The Outbox still indicates that there are messages waiting to be delivered after those messages have deleted from the outbox. As a result, the user is prompted regarding the existence of messages awaiting delivery each time they attempt to shutdown the application. Although the Outbox still indicates that there is a message awaiting delivery, the messages is correctly removed from the outbox when deleted. One point which may be relevent to this bug is the fact that I had previously created, removed, and then re-created the same IMAP account prior to noticing this issue. I can't honestly say if the bug existed in the original instance of the account as I rarely respond to email in this account. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.4.6 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an email message that for some reason can't be deliverd (improper smtp server configuration, for instance). Notice that the message will remain in the outbox and the 'Outbox' folder will bold and indicate that there is a message awaiting delivery. 2. Delete that message. 3. Actual Results: The message will correctly be removed from the Outbox, but the Outbox will still indicate that there's a single message awaiting delivery. Attempting to exit the application will cause it to prompt about the non-existent message. The bug surives several restarts of the app Expected Results: The message should disappear and the Outbox should not indicate a message exists in it. Additional info:
Well, apparently selecting the Expunge option from the Action menu on the tool bar clears things up. This doesn't make sense as you would think deleting the message from the Outbox would move it to the Trash folder. Is this variant by design?
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Re comment 1: sounds like a bug to me. Is this problem still present in the most recent version of Evolution? If so, please file it upstream here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
