GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 555273
Mail cannot be moved to certain mail folders
Last modified: 2010-02-26 00:10:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: Binary package hint: evolution This looks a bit like ubuntu-bug #215643 although it is not exactly like. When I try to drag-and-drop mails to certain folders, they "will not go in there". They "fly back" to where dragged from. Right-clicking the mail, choosing "Move to folder" and then clicking the misbehaving folder also does not work: the folder is simply not highlighted as selected. I can move mail to other folders both by drag-and-drop and by the right-click menu. If I try and create a new folder I can move mail to it. I tried deleting the <folder>.cmeta, <folder>.ibex* files, but this did no difference. Permissions on the <home>/.evolution/* are all read-write. I have run evolution from a terminal, and no messages appear as I try the move. Note the evolution accounts, data, etc were migrated from another ubuntu install (7.04 I think). Now using 8.04, the "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync" bug is gone :). I get this bug instead o_O The attachment is a video of the behaviour. $lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 $ uname -r 2.6.24-16-generic $ apt-cache policy evolution evolution: Installed: 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.22.2-0ubuntu1.2 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages 2.22.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages Steps to reproduce: 1.

Created attachment 120043 [details] Video of manfunctioning mail move, and a good one
Well. The video does not show in which folder the messages are. If it's a Search folder, you of course cannot move messages to the same folder they are physically in already. Please clarify. I guess this is not a bug at all.
Hi. Both source and destination folders are normal folders. The problem: I cannot move mail _from_ whatever folder _to_ certain folders. To other folders I can.
I haven't seen this problem on newer versions of evolution, maybe we should close it...
