Empty Trash on Deleted Items folder does not work
Last modified: 2010-02-17 11:24:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: Select the Deleted Items folder, right click and select Empty Trash. Nothing happens. Note: Folder-> Expunge works well and deletes all messages permanently in Deleted Items folder. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I can confirm this bug. Right clicking on "Deleted Items" and selecting "Empty Trash" does nothing. Also "File" -> "Empty Trash" does nothing. These are probably related. Packages Installed: evolution-2.29.3-1.fc12.x86_64 evolution-conduits-2.29.3-1.fc12.x86_64 evolution-data-server-2.29.3-3.fc12.x86_64 evolution-data-server-devel-2.29.3-3.fc12.x86_64 evolution-data-server-doc-2.29.3-3.fc12.noarch evolution-devel-2.29.3-1.fc12.x86_64 evolution-help-2.29.3-1.fc12.noarch evolution-mapi-0.29.3-1.fc12.x86_64 evolution-mapi-devel-0.29.3-1.fc12.x86_64
Just to comment further. Performing an expunge like the reporter mentioned produces the following messages in the console. exchange-mapi-connection.c:1611: Entering exchange_mapi_empty_folder libexchangemapi-Message: exchange-mapi-connection.c:1613: exchange_mapi_empty_folder: lock(connect_lock) Folder with id 2AEC060000000001 was emptied libexchangemapi-Message: exchange-mapi-connection.c:1646: exchange_mapi_empty_folder: unlock(connect_lock) exchange-mapi-connection.c:1648: Leaving exchange_mapi_empty_folder Seems like "Empty Trash" should do the same thing.
Some additional confirmation of the behavior... I'm using Evo 2.29.20100112-1.2 x86_64 (which shows as 2.29.6 in the Help -> About box), and MAPI connector version is 0.29.5-1.3. I ran the following tests to confirm this: Right-clicked on the Exchange Deleted Items folder and selected empty trash. Nothing was removed. Moved an email to the Inbox of the "On This Computer" structure, and deleted it. It showed up in that structures Trash folder. Right-clicked on the Exchange Deleted Items folder and selecting empty trash emptied neither folder. Doing the same on the Trash folder did empty it as would have been expected. The purpose of this test was to just document that the Empty Trash option was not always trying to empty the local trash folder, which goes to earlier comments that it's doing nothing at all. I also selected the Expunge Folder option while in the Deleted Items folder, but it did not purge the deleted items folder. I had to delete them directly. This seems to be different from what was described previously, but might have gotten broken in the (subsequent) version I have.
