Description of problem: IMAP subscribed folders do not remain visible in left-hand pane after restarting application. Right-clicking on the account and selecting 'Manage subscriptions' shows that I have a number of subscribed folders selected, but it is not until I un-check/re-check them again that they show up in the left-hand pane. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.91.91-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Register an IMAP account and subscribe to a number of folders within that account 2. Quit evolution, and start it up again 3. Watch your subscribed folders disappear from the left-hand pane Actual results: You need to re-subscribe to your folders for them to be visible Expected results: The folders should remain visible after restarting the application Additional info: When starting, evolution appears to read from the subscribed folders, but they don't show up in the left-hand pane. So it seems like a display issue.
Thanks for a bug report. Are you using IMAP or IMAP+ provider, please? I suppose you've set "Show only subscribed folders" in the account preferences. The thing is that subscriptions are managed by IMAP server itself and evolution is only asking for the list of subscribed folders on each start and makes a cache of locally known subscribed folders. Maybe this list got corrupted or something. In the recent time I heard about fastmail.fm having some issues with subscriptions, so is it your server too or you've a different one, please?

I am using evolution against an internal IMAP (dovecot) server. Thunderbird works fine with subscribed folders against the same server. I have attached 2 screenshots to hopefully make it clearer what is happening. Note that when I first start evolution (before entering my password), all subscribed folders are visible. After entering my password, they disappear again until I re-subscribe. These folders then disappear again on their own after some time, just as they do when I restart evolution.
I tried couple times and it seems to work fine here, but it's a different IMAP server. Try to close evolution and clear the local IMAP cache, whether it'll help (I'm thinking if it isn't broken anyhow). The cache is located in: ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imap/<account>/ when you run evolution from console, is it claiming anything there?
No relevant error messages from the console. I tried removing ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders{,.db} and restarting evolution, but experienced the same problem. I'll have a more thorough look at the local folder cache this weekend.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
