This bug was reported against a version which is not supported any more. Developers are no longer working on this version so there will not be any bug fixes for it. Can you please check again if the issue you reported here still happens in a recent version of GNOME and update this report by adding a comment and adjusting the 'Version' field? Again thank you for reporting this and sorry that it could not be fixed for the version you originally used here. Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE after 6 weeks.
still there in 2.30.3
Same here using 2.30.3 from debian sqeeze. In my case I'm moving the mail from an IMAP account to a local account in maildir format. And quite often the target folder of the operation shows a number of (1) for unread messages in that folder. Although the message itself is not marked as unread. To fix it I usually have to mark the message unread und then read again manually, which is kind of annoying. Thanks for reading.
still there in 3.0.0 :-O Very similar problem: I download the headers of all subscribed newsgroups. Then I read all new messages. The newsgroup name in the tree view at the left is constantly decreasing the number of unread messages and returns back to non-bold font if the last message was read. When I click Send/Receive again, the tree view show the same number of unread messages, as if I never read them. When clicking on one newsgroup, no unread messages are shown in the message list, but the tree view at the left still shows the (wrong) number.
Happens in Evolution 3.6.4, using EWS account, Linux Mint 15, Cinnamon. Moving a read email to another folder causes it to show as unread. It does not happen every time, but more than 50%. It doesn't matter whether the email has an attachment or not. It happens both with drag and drop and also using CTRL-SHIFT-V or Right Click - Move to Folder.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
