From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020510 Description of problem: Using Evolution 1.0.3-6, using IMAP to an MS Exchange Server, 5.5 sp3. New mail to the IMAP Inbox does not always appear, when doing the scheduled "check for new mail" or using F9 to manually update, even when I know there is mail there (using Outlook on another PC to test). New mail arrives, I manually update Evolution, no new mail shown, Inbox count (on folder list) is still un-bolded. If I change (via the folder list) to a different IMAP folder, and manually update, the Inbox folder count goes bold, shows 1 new email... changing to the Inbox then, shows the new email. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. using Outlook, make sure new mail arrived (nothing to be processed by rules) 2. manually update via F9... nothing new shown 3. Change folders, manually update again 4. Inbox folder shows new mail, changing to that folder shows the new mail Additional info: pretty standard RH7.3 setup, only 3 updates applied (kernel, perl, evolution (current).
How well does exchange having multiple clients connected at the same time? I know that wu-imapd doesn't handle this very well. As I don't have an Exchange server to test against, this is difficult to impossible for me to do much about. I'd recommend filing it upstream in bugzilla.ximian.com if you can still reproduce it with the evolution 1.0.5 packages in gnomehide (ftp://people.redhat.com/hp/gnomehide/; you'll need to grab the newer evolution and gal packages)
