Description Khasim Shaheed 2005-07-25 09:21:26 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1.Try to delete the "Junk E-mail" folder

No error message will be displayed. Since it is a system folder, we should not
be able to delete that folder.

If you try deleting that folder again, some times evolution hangs/crashes along
with a balnk error message.

Similar crash but in different scenario (while reproducing the bug #311457 and
switch to online).

Comment 4 Sarfraaz Ahmed 2005-07-25 17:38:21 UTC

We should disallow deletion/rename of system folders.

Comment 5 Sarfraaz Ahmed 2005-08-25 19:05:26 UTC

UI change needed.

Comment 6 Sushma Rai 2006-02-16 11:14:14 UTC

Junk E-Mail is not listed in the standard folders according to the
schema, so we don't throw error message.
This can be fixed with one extra a condition check i feel, and
also throwing the error message is not a UI change.

Comment 7 Sushma Rai 2006-03-08 11:05:20 UTC

Now, no hangs/crashes. Folder is deleted and gets recreated on startup again.

Comment 8 Vandana 2006-06-30 05:10:34 UTC

There should be some  way for exchange to differentiate between a Junk folder and an ordinary folder .  This is handled by out look in its own way.  If a Junk folder can be differentiated from an ordinary folder in exchange , then all the problems related to Junk folders will be resolved.

Comment 9 Bharath Acharya 2008-03-10 08:28:06 UTC

As mentioned in comment #6 Junk E-Mail is not listed in the standard folders according to the schema. So deleting it is a perfectly valid scenario. No crashes happen on trunk. Marking as Invalid.
