Evolution doesn't save draft email in offline mode (IMAP)
Last modified: 2014-08-30 15:33:49 UTC
Moving from the downstream bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475013 Evolution is configured for imap and the "Drafts" folder is defaulted to the imap server. When switching to off-line mode and composing an email, when attempting to save an email to the "Drafts" folder it appears to save without any errors. The email closes but is _not_ saved to the "Drafts" folder. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-perl-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-webcal-2.23.91-1.fc10.x86_64 gnome-python2-evolution-2.23.0-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-spamassassin-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 evolution-data-server-2.24.2-1.fc10.x86_64 Fedora 10 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Evolution 2. Switch to off-line mode 3. Compose email 4. Save to "Drafts" Actual results: Email doesn't save to "Drafts" Expected results: An error should at least pop up to specify that the imap server is not available and give you the option to save the email to the local computer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can reproduce this too. As long as I'm in an offline mode, I can see the message in the IMAP's Drafts folder, but when going online the message disappears. I see also the zero-size journal file in the Drafts folder, before going online.
Is this still an issue in Evolution 3.8 or later?
