Description Davesh Patel 2009-06-24 13:17:37 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

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.
