Description Need Real Name 2004-12-17 20:16:04 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20041020 Epiphany/1.4.4

Description of problem:
I have a few folders, some have lots of messages, one has none.

I drag a message from a folder with lots of message to the folder with
none. I switch to that folder, and can see the message.
I drag the message back to the folder with lots, and switch to that
folder.

There are a lot of messages in the folder, so I run a search on the
subject.
The message isn't found.

I restart Evolution, and try again. I find the message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
x

Additional info:
This is an "apparent data loss bug", so maybe "normal" is the wrong
severity.

Comment 1 Dave Malcolm 2005-03-08 19:52:09 UTC
What type of store is the folder using (local/IMAP etc?)
Which version of evolution?


Comment 2 Need Real Name 2005-03-09 14:06:30 UTC
I can't reproduce this as the original bug, but I do have a similar
problem. Let me know if you want a new bug.

Local store. evolution-2.0.2-3.

1. Empty Trash, restart Evolution. Check Trash is still empty (it
wasn't for me, did it twice).
2. Create new sub-folder under Inbox, move two e-mails from Inbox to
sub-folder.
3. Now move them back to the Inbox, and delete them from there.
4. Check Trash - there should be two e-mails.

I see six.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2005-03-09 14:07:01 UTC
Dragging from Trash to undelete seems to behave oddly too.

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:35:04 UTC
Fedora Core 3 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 FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

(reporter moved to FC5)

Comment 7 Matthew Miller 2006-07-11 18:27:18 UTC
(urg. the "I am providing the requested information..." checkbox doesn't always
work. sorry.)

Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-02 14:28:20 UTC
Is this problem still present in Fedora Core 6 or later?

Comment 9 Need Real Name 2007-01-02 22:16:12 UTC
I still get a copy of an e-mail in my trash whenever it moves folders.
The other behaviour is gone.

Comment 10 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-31 15:20:54 UTC
The distribution against which this bug was reported is no longer supported,
could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently
supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue
turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report.  If
after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this
bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Thanks in advance.

This is not a bug -- trash is not real folder, but just vfolder containing all
removed messages. Just press Ctrl-E (or from menu click on Folder/Purge) and all
these messages are gone.
