Description Jonathan Kamens 2007-04-18 03:16:05 UTC
What were you doing when the application crashed?
Accidentally moved IMAP INBOX folder into another folder.  Evolution shouldn't have let me do that.  Then I was unable to move INBOX back to the top level of my IMAP store where it belonged.  While trying to fix that, Evolution crashed.

Comment 1 Jonathan Kamens 2007-04-18 03:18:32 UTC
The crash is probably the less important issue here.  The more important issue is that Evolution lets me pick up my INBOX folder and move it.  INBOX is a special folder, and it should not be possible to move it.

The crasher is a duplicate of Bug 427105, but I'll leave this one open for the inbox issue.

Tom Parker: What is the question you mention in Bug 460984 that I can find here and for which you need an answer?

On a different topic: Comment #1 suggests that the crash is the less important issue to the original reported behavior.  With the duplicates, the crash is now important: the duplicates are from different actions.

Apologies, that should have been marked as a duplicate of Bug 427105. 427105 has Comment #4 which does need answering if you can duplicate it. 

"Reporters, if you can duplicate this, and get a trace with the environment
variable G_SLICE set to "debug-blocks", it might help to narrow down the actual
problem."

That would be helpful!

Yeah, Bug 460894 is a duplicate of the crash, but not the INBOX issue. This bug is now only for the INBOX issue. 

Sorry about this, all should be fixed now (well, at least in the bug tracking).

Comment 8 chris 2007-09-26 16:36:00 UTC
hopefully i'll soon have a test IMAP mail server where i can try to reproduce this without messing up my live email system.

but judging by the cursor displayed when i drag my INBOX folder over my local folders it would appear that the problem remains.  at the very least, the cursor needs to be modified so that it shows the user that they can't drop the INBOX into other folders.
