From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: evolution is not setting e-mails in /var/spool/mail/yourlogin as read and the gnome mailcheck applet keeps saying "you got new mail", which makes the applet useless since you cannot detect when new mails arrive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution(0:1.3.92-1) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put gnome mailcheck applet in the panel. Configure it to check /var/spool/mail/yourlogin 2. wait for an e-mail. 3. evolution & (i suppose evolution is configured for this mail account) 4. read all e-mails in your local mbox with evolution Actual Results: The penguin in the mailcheck applet keeps moving. If you type "mail" you'll see some e-mails are still "N" (new). Expected Results: The penguin should stop moving. Additional info: Evolution 1.0 had not this problem. Evolution 1.2 had though.
If you expunge (to sync the changes to the disk), is it fine?
No it is not enough, the penguin keep moving.
Does this problem still exist in current versions?
