Description Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2008-01-09 08:16:22 UTC 
Drafts and Sent mails end in nirwana after renaming IMAP server.
Problem seems, that references to IMAP folders are not updated.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Setup IMAP account "mathias@mail"
2. Choose IMAP folders on "mail@mail" as Sent and Drafts folder for this (and prolly other accounts)
3. Rename the mail server for "mathias@mail" to "mail.lan"

Expected Result:

The sent-folder and drafts-folder elements of the XML blobs at /apps/evolution/mail/accounts get updated to the new server/account name:

...<drafts-folder>imap://mathias@mail.lan/Entw%c3%bcrfe</drafts-folder>...

Actual Results:

The XML elements remain unchanged:

<drafts-folder>imap://mathias@mail/Entw%c3%bcrfe</drafts-folder>
