Description David Ronis 2007-10-22 15:22:59 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.
