Description Andreas Haak 2005-10-05 07:26:49 UTC
Please describe the problem:
For a few weeks now Evolution is unable to show my inbox. The mail
counts are correct and even the correct "unread mail" count is displayed
but I can't see any mails within my inbox. Strangely it only affects my
inbox. I am using procmail to sort spam etc. serverside to several other
IMAP folders and I can open them quite fine without that problem.

I tried to reset Evolutions configuration completely. I even created a
complete new user to ensure all configuration is done from scratch. The
problem is still the same.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Evolution and open my IMAP inbox
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
Instead of listing all current mails of my IMAP inbox nothing is listed.

Expected results:
A complete listing of my IMAP inbox.

Does this happen every time?
Yes its reproducable - even on other systems. I am using Gentoo (workstation)
and Ubuntu (notebook) and both show this specific problem.

Other information:
The server uses the courier IMAP server. Version is 4.0.1. I tried several other
IMAP mail clients like Outlook and Thunderbird and both are listing the inbox
correctly.

Hi Andreas, could you try re-subsribing(Folder->Subscriptions) to INBOX. This
should solve the issue. And if it still does not please export
CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 and run evolution from the command line and attach the
traces. Thanks

Thanks - removing the subscription and adding it again solved the problem.
