Description Jason Clinton 2005-10-13 21:33:08 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The index files used to track which files have been deleted and which are marked
as Junk are not updated when a filter action such as "Move" is performed. Since
these index files are only updated when evolution is closed normally (bug?), if
evolution crashes, this results in two copies of each filtered message: one in
the Inbox folder (which should be marked deleted or junk) and another copy in
the destination Folder. The copy in the Inbox folder is not marked deleted or
Junk because the index file was never updated. If the mail client has been
running for a few days, that may mean that thousands of emails are duplicated.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Move a message in a Maildir folder to another Maildir folder
2. kill -9 evolution
3. Restart evolution


Actual results:
Duplicated message

Expected results:
Only one copy in the destination folder

Does this happen every time?
Yes

adding filters keyword
Comment 2 C Shilpa 2005-10-18 08:30:39 UTC
is this a duplicate of bug #318518?
Comment 3 C Shilpa 2005-10-18 10:30:16 UTC
oops, mistyped the bug number. The bug should be bug #318515
Comment 4 Jason Clinton 2005-10-18 18:57:11 UTC
No, because this bug specifically relates to filter actions and the other bug 
is related to user interface actions. 
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-11-27 23:31:18 UTC
correcting the status whiteboard namespace to keep consistency.
sorry for the noise, my fault.

Hi Jason, 
if you have time, could you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution 3.2.3 or 3.0.3 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field and provide information about your distribution? Thanks a lot.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:57:12 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
