From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030120 Description of problem: When deleting a non-empty imap-folder with subfolders i got the error message "cannot delete folder: cannot create a folder with that name" after which evolution segfaults. I am connecting to a courier imap server. The error only happens when you try to delete a folder with subfolders, there can be messages in them, no problem, and i could delete them one by one moving up the tree too, but as soon as i tried to delete a folder with subfolders i had the error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start evolution 2. connect to a courier imap server 3. delete a folder which has subfolders Actual Results: evolution segfaults Expected Results: the folder and subfolders should've been deleted Additional info: it might be a long shot, but i think it's got something to do with the dot's in the folders naming. they go: .folder .folder.subfolder1 .folder.subfolder2 .folder.subfolder2.subsub1
The segfault is fixed in 1.2.2. Deleting folders with subfolders can be racy so is disallowed intentionally (although, yes, the error message is a little misleading)
