Avoid copying of moved mails to the trashcan
Last modified: 2007-07-15 02:49:55 UTC
Hello all, I'd see an very big improvement, if one could get rid of that very very confusing and ugly behavior, that every moved mail is also copied to the trashcan! If this is not that easy to resolve, so there might perhaps by an workaround for the user interface, that I just can't see them any more. I'm personally used to this mis-behavior, but even after two years using evolution, I'm somehow confused if I move an important mail to another folder and then see this subject also in the trashcan! One cannot see the difference, if I moved the mail correct and evolution is doing the copy, or if I maybe drag&dropped it to the trashcan on my own accidently! Finally, this behavior just makes no sense from my point of view. I never saw an mail client doing it in this way before, do you? Thanks, Marcus
I perfectly agree with this bug wich seems very important ! When I install Evolution for a newbie, he/she doesn't undestand at all this strange behaviour. The most annoying thing is that, if you have filters that move mail, a new unread mail appears in the destination folder but ALSA in the trash !!!! I don't remember older versions having this behaviour. (I change the title to be more accurate. I also wonder if this bug should be set as "normal", since I cannot understand that this behaviour is not a bug)
it's just the same way as IMAP works. :-) this behaviour has always been since mails just get a flag that they are deleted, they aren't moved physically into a trash folder (the trash folder is virtual), but they are moved (the right word would be "copied") physically indeed to the new location, and the old location gets a "deleted" flag.
adding dependency, please check the dependency bug 206061 about this.

This bug is quite annoying, I consider it should be priorized.
