Description Khasim Shaheed 2005-07-18 09:02:28 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1.Create a folder say 'new' under exchange account
2.Create one more folder say 'child_new' as a child of previously create folder
'new'.
3.Now try to delete the parent folder('new').

An error message will pop up saying that "Could not delete folder
'Personal/new'. Because could not open folder". 

Restart evolution. Another error message will be displayed saying that "Error
while opening folder exchange://account@IP/personal/new;noselect=yes. No such
folder".

Now try to delete that parent folder again, evolution crashes. I guess the
folder is already deleted but not removed from the UI. Since i am trying to
delete a folder which is already deleted, evolution crashes.

The parent/child folders are not deleted until i kill evolution-exchange-storage
and restart.
This is happening with the devel snaps dated,
evolution-2.3.5.1.0.200507131322-0.snap.novell.11.1
evolution-data-server-1.3.5.0.200507131322-0.snap.novell.11.1
