Evolution doesn't save draft email in offline mode
Last modified: 2008-12-08 07:19:44 EST
Description of problem: Evolution is configured for imap and the "Drafts" folder is defaulted to the imap server. When switching to off-line mode and composing an email, when attempting to save an email to the "Drafts" folder it appears to save without any errors. The email closes but is _not_ saved to the "Drafts" folder. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-perl-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-webcal-2.23.91-1.fc10.x86_64 gnome-python2-evolution-2.23.0-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-spamassassin-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-data-server-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 Fedora 10 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Evolution 2. Switch to off-line mode 3. Compose email 4. Save to "Drafts" Actual results: Email doesn't save to "Drafts" Expected results: An error should at least pop up to specify that the imap server is not available and give you the option to save the email to the local computer. Additional info:
Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce this too. As long as I'm in an offline mode, I can see the message in the IMAP's Drafts folder (I've applied fix for bug #472838), but when going online the message disappears. I'm moving this upstream, it'll be better to have it fixed there. Please see [1] for further updates. [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563672
