GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 489052
Empty Trash not working properly
Last modified: 2008-09-17 01:29:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have several evolution mail accounts, one of which is a pop account and the other a "Standard unix mbox spool file". The latter is NOT one of the standard spool files, but is created by a system-wide anti-spam program and is in $HOME/Mail/Inbox.Spam. Given the contents, I don['t look at this folder very much. In the past I had the 2nd account appear in a folder under "On This Computer", but after an upgrade and me playing around with my configuration, I found that I could only have a separate tree (with it's own Inbox/Junk/Trash sub-folders). Here're the problems. 1. I can't seem to expunge the trash from the second account. Clicking empty trash (either from the File menu or by right-clicking on the file-list) empties the 1st trash folder, leaving the second untouched (and growing :)). 2. To avoid this problem, I tried setting up a mail filter to move all mail in this account to a folder under "On this Computer". The filter works manually, i.e., I select the mail's in the 2nd account and press ctrl-y. However they don't get applied automatically (even though I have set the receive option to do so in the preferences for this account). Steps to reproduce: See above Actual results: See above Expected results: All trash folders (or at least all trash folders on this computer, irrespective of their accounts) should be emptied if the File->Empty Trash is pressed. If a mouse-popup-dialog is pressed, then only the account in question should have it's trash emptied. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I'm following garnome's svn trunk on a heavily modified slackware-11.0 and compiled evo and friends using gcc-4.2.2.
This is fixed at least in svn/trunk.
