Description Nikolaus 2009-07-13 14:01:49 UTC 
From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/398527:

In some IMAP folders, evolution constantly reports a number of unread messages - even though there are no messages in the folder at all. Other IMAP clients like Thunderbird do not have this problem with the same folder, so I think it is a problem with Evolution and not the IMAP server.

I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

The IMAP server is a Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-14ubuntu3

This bug is about problems with an IMAP folder.  All the folders on the system experiencing bug 593698 are local.

Can Nikolaus make the report of unread messages go away by using a method similar to the one described in 593698?
Comment 5 Nikolaus 2009-09-01 12:50:39 UTC 
No, setting 'Show' to 'unread' and back to 'All' does not fix the problem (currently there are no messages in the folder at all, so there is no letter icon to click, but I remember trying that as well without success)
Comment 6 Ashton Kemerling 2010-01-15 01:53:36 UTC 
I am getting this also atm. Is there any data I could collect to help with hunting this bug down?
