Description Ben Kahn 2001-10-30 07:29:13 UTC 
When in offline mode, vfolders no longer work.  Since most of the data is
available, it should be pretty easy to make them locate matching data which
evolution is keeping cached.  Should be pretty fast too...
Comment 1 Not Zed 2001-10-30 08:13:26 UTC 
since the other search bug is basically fixed i think this should be
too, enough anyway.
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2001-10-31 16:40:09 UTC 
does this work now, ben?
Comment 3 Ben Kahn 2001-10-31 16:59:08 UTC 
No.  vFolders do not populate while offline.  However, if they are
already populated, they don't vanish when you go offline.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2001-11-12 18:37:49 UTC 
editing the title to reflect the reality.
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2001-11-26 17:04:25 UTC 
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be
moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just
search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark
all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to
evolution@ximian.com, not the bug.

notzed: you have some code already working for this, right?
Comment 7 Not Zed 2002-01-30 23:51:41 UTC 
Ben, can you give a specific example?

Does it have to reference specific vfolders?

I have tried:
 - creating a vfolder while in offline mode - worked fine
 - changing content of imap folder - vfolder updated fine
 - going online/offline, vfolder still updated ok
Comment 8 Ben Kahn 2002-01-31 04:33:43 UTC 
Try starting in offline mode and using vfolders.  (You might have to
start without a network at all.)
Comment 9 Not Zed 2002-01-31 05:19:40 UTC 
I did start in offline mode and adding a vfolder and it worked.
Comment 10 Ben Kahn 2002-01-31 15:05:40 UTC 
No no.  Create a vfolder.  See that there is mail in it.  Quit
evolution.  Lose your network.  Restart Evolution.  Go to the vfolder.
 Do you have mail in there?  I don't...
Comment 11 Not Zed 2002-02-06 10:47:25 UTC 
uh thats not going offline.
Comment 12 Not Zed 2002-02-06 10:59:19 UTC 
Tested that.

I had a folder of unread messages.

I started evolution - no folders showed up at all, as i'd removed my
network connection.

I turned to 'offline mode'.  And then opened that store since none of
its folders were opened.

The folders all showed up.  The vfolder updated its content.

Works for me.
Comment 13 Not Zed 2002-02-06 23:58:49 UTC 
Ok, I believe this is now fixed in cvs head.

While fixing another problem - the unread counts didn't show up for
offline folders, I found it created different urls for offline folders.

If you were vfoldering against a specific folder that probably
would've broken because of this.
