GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 332108
imap mail folders not updated properly
Last modified: 2006-02-22 00:05:08 UTC
Please describe the problem: Using different email clients (e.g. thunderbird) to create new imap folders, evolution does not update the folder structure. This happens when the option, in preferences->account editor->Receiving options -> the option "Show only subscribed folders" is not selected. Togeling this option and closing the account editor forces an update. It appears that upon starting evolution, and with the "Show only subscribed folders" turned off, that the imap folder structure is not updated. Steps to reproduce: 1. start evolution, observe the imap folder structure. Next disable "Show only subscribed folders" in account setting of imap entry. Close evolution 2. Use a different imap client (thunderbird), create a new imap folder, close imap client. 3. Start evolution and obeserve folder structure, the new created folder is not available. Only after togeling Show only subscribed folders" this happens Actual results: New folder is not displayed Expected results: Evolution should display the full imap folder structure if requested. This will create big user confusion because most users use multiple imap clients (web mail, thunderbird, evolution) for the same imap account Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: No
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. Thanks Robert. I believe this actually is a duplicate of one of my bugs. ;) Starting Evo for the second time finally should update the tree and show the new folders. If you believe this is a different issue, please feel free to re-open this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 330838 ***
