Evolution does not mark IMAP mail read until exit
Last modified: 2011-07-22 04:12:14 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I mark an email (I'm using GMail) as read in Evolution the email is not marked as read when I check GMail via browser. I have checked value of sync_interval in gconf-editor -- it is set to 30. So I wait 30s -> do a refresh on GMail web page -> still remains unread. If I exit Evolution then everything seems to sync up everytime but I would expect it not have to exit Evolution for syncing to occur. I saw at this link below that this user found it fixed in Jaunty but not the case for me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/364031 Happens everytime. Have even tried to re-install evolution, evolution- common packages. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Evolution 2. Go to unread email and mark as read 3. Wait 1min (at least) 4. Check if read in GMail via browser Actual results: Email is not marked as read on server side Expected results: Email IS marked as read on server side Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
I am having the same problem with - evolution version 2.26.1 - on Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel 2.6.28-13-generic
Confirmed I am seeing the issue as well. Evolution 2.28.3 Ubuntu 10.0.04 Kernel 2.6.32-25-generic
Have you tried IMAP+ (IMAPX) which has many improvements over old imap provider ? Could you please confirm if this bug is still happening at your end ? Please try in Evolution 2.32.x or 3.0.x and report back, thanks.
Please feel free to reopen the bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of Evolution 3.0 or later, thanks.
