GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 110937
Deleting folders or messages in folders doesn't work
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:11:08 UTC
If I go to my "pan.sent" folder and delete a message, it disappears from the article list, but the file in .pan/messages/folders/pan.sent is not deleted. Next time you start Pan, the message is back. If you create a new folder, then delete it, the directory is not removed, so next time you start Pan, the folder is back. I have had a quick look in the source and I can't see where the files/directories are unlinked.
Deleting articles in folders was broken because of a bug, and is fixed now: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ANNOUNCE.html&rev1=1.131&rev2=1.132&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=article-actions.c&rev1=1.51&rev2=1.52&root=/cvs/gnome However, unlinking directories on "delete folder" is a separate issue, and intentionally unimplemented right now. If you'll file an enhancement request for that, I'll earmark it for a future release.
