GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 622156
Junk and Trash appear in folder selection dialog
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:27:24 UTC
Observed on Evolution 2.28.3 as provided with Ubuntu 10.04 ("Lucid") Observation: I was trying to create filters that move spam to a certain local folder. First, I tried "Müll" ("Trash"), then "Unerwünscht" ("Unwanted") - both were not selectable in the folder selection dialog, even though other folders were. These folders were named this way by Evolution itself. To make things worse, when I tried to rename them (to something without umlaut), I received an additional error message : ----------------- ».#evolution/Trash« konnte nicht in ».#evolution/Muell« umbenannt werden. Grund: »Ordner konnte nicht umbenannt werden: .#evolution/Trash: Ungültiger Vorgang«. ----------------- Oddly enough, selecting "Entwürfe" ("Drafts") in the mentioned dialog works. Trying to rename it (for experimental purposes) results in a different and much more sensible error message: ----------------- Systemordner »Drafts« konnte nicht umbenannt oder verschoben werden. Evolution benötigt Systemordner, um korrekt zu funktionieren. Diese können weder umbenannt, noch verschoben oder gelöscht werden. ----------------- Expectation: 1) All folders should be selectable in the filter dialog. 2) Handling of localized folder names should work reliably.
Actually the real bug is those two folders should not be shown at all in a folder selection dialog, since they're not really folders at all but special search folders which shows which messages have been flagged for deletion or flagged as junk.
I think this bug might be a duplicate of 206061.

Still the case in 3.38
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
