Description Vandana 2006-06-28 04:34:24 UTC 
Delete the inbox from an IMAP account. 

Inbox gets deleted,  and on relaunching evolution, Inbox is launched, with all the previous  messages inside it gone.

Evolution should not be allowing the deletion of the INBOX folder.

IMAP allows you to rename Inbox to whatever you want. Also, For GroupWise the folder is called Mailbox. So it may not be godo to use strcmp. Consider using CAMEL_FOLDER_SYSTEM flags.

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 6 Akhil Laddha 2009-08-06 12:42:23 UTC 
Matthew, i guess it will be fixed in kill-bonobo branch
Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2009-08-06 14:03:12 UTC 
Interesting.  Right-clicking on Inbox in Evolution 2.26.3 disables Rename and Delete in the popup-menu, but leaves them enabled in the main menu.  I guess that's how you can get into trouble.

The menus in kill-bonobo are written in such a way that guarantees the states of a main menu item and corresponding popup menu item will always be consistent.  The branch prevents you from renaming or deleting Inbox, so yes it's fixed.

Good catch, Akhil.
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2009-08-30 05:53:19 UTC 
The "kill-bonobo" branch has been merged into "master" and will debut as Evolution 2.29.1.  We believe the branch has addressed the reported issue.  If you find the issue still exists in version 2.29 or later please feel free to re-open this bug.

Closing as FIXED.
