Description Milan Crha 2012-05-15 09:13:28 UTC
Moving this from a downstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821409

Description of problem:

During the removal of messages, there was a network disconnect. As a result,
messages on the server is not deleted, and in evolution, they were marked as
deleted and now I can `t re-remove them from the server.

It would be right in a separate process to find and delete such messages.

Hello Milan,

I think I'm having the same problem.  I have a filter which I apply with Ctrl + Y which moves the messages from the Exchange 2010 server to a local folder.  The message gets copied to the local folder but it is still present in the server and the only way I have to look it up is to connect with a browser to the OWA and delete it there to free the space (Evolution does not show the message).

The other problem seems to be that there is no way to empty the trash from Evolution, the only way to do it is through the OWA.

I'm using Fedora 16 with evolution-ews-3.2.3-1.fc16.x86_64.

Hi William, yours is bug #653631
Comment 3 William Lovaton 2012-05-25 22:29:05 UTC
Yeah, the "empty trash" part of the problem is now fixed, I'm glad for that.

But this one is still open.  I hope it gets fixed soon, I'm planning to update to Fedora 17 as soon as it is available.

Thanks a lot for your help.

ews patch

for evolution-ews;

Workaround for this would be to touch those messages again (do any change on each), and then let synchronize the folder. With this patch, if there are any pending deleted messages in the folder, the routine checks all stored messages, while without deleted messages it checks only changed messages, like before.
