Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: After upgrading to snapshot: evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208141002.i386.rpm I was unable to see the contents of my INBOX, the folder displays a blank grey with the text "This folder cannot contain messages". I can access my other IMAP folders. oaf-slay and restart does not help. I have to move my ~/evolution directory and recreate my account from scratch. Steps to reproduce the: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Upgrade without having to remove ~/evolution directory How often does this happen? This has happened before when upgrading snapshots.

After some experimenting actually only need to remove the storeinfo file in the imap/account folder. Though the storeinfo file that is recreated looks identical to the original one with the problem.

upgraded to today's snapshot: evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208151002.i386.rpm and surprise I had the same problem again. This time removing storeinfo file didn't work. I had to remove my entire ~/evolution directory.
Even removing ~/evolution didn't work this time. Cannot see INBOX at all with shapshot: evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208151002.i386.rpm
This is unfortunately still the case with evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208181002
i need the CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG log. i can't recreate this at all.
just need the stuff upto where it starts downloading message flags. also, do you have any of the following set: - show only subscribed folders - override server namespace

reopened bug and attached CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG output. Problem still present in snapshot: evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208191002.i386.rpm
I am now using evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208201002, and the problem is that whenever I have "show only subscribed folders" on. (for testing: if you try it, it doesn't work, and you switch the checkbox off again, you always need to remove the storeinfo file to get evo to work again) I also have override server namespace on, but testet without and then with show only subsribed on/off and the result is that it doesn't depend on the former. I need both setting checked, because the server's shared folders are only visible when overriding the namespace (with no entry in the text input field! I need to leave it just empty?!? can anyone explain this too me?). But then I only need 3 of those folders and don't want to clutter everything with them. Tell me if you need a verbose log from me too, and for which settings of the resp. checkboxes I should generate it.
received: * LSUB (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX" well, that would be why.
kludged around in CVS
My problem is still there with evolution-1.1.0.99-snap.ximian.200208251002: I can't see the content of my INBOX whenever I have checked the "show only subsribed folders" option.
then your bug is something else entirely.
Re-opening as this problem still exists

The patch was commented out in the code. I am guessing so because it was a kludge. Looking for a better way to fix or just uncommenting the kludge

Its fine to commit. Approved.
fixed

Uhm, fixed... Where? CVS HEAD only? Will this be fixed in Evo 2.4.2?
Asnwering my own question for the records: According to some conversation on IRC this has been commited to HEAD and gnome-2-12 branch, so it will be fixed in Evolution 2.4.2.

I downloaded the source for evolution-data-server 1.4.1 and manually applied the patch (removed the preprocessor statements accordingly), but the problem doesn't go away. I'm running it with an unaltered version of evolution (2.4.1).
Update: I opened the Folder -> Subscriptions and unchecked the checkbox for the inbox, then resubscribed which made evolution crash. Gnome asked if I wanted to restart which I did and after that things are working for all of the imap-accounts that were affected by this bug. An additional note is that I had this bug on two separate accounts, where the two servers involved were running cyrus on one and courier on the other.
