Description Brian J. Murrell 2009-01-28 21:14:23 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I am running 2.24.3 here and I am still finding that there are unread messages in my real folders that my unread messages vfolder is simply not displaying.  It appears completely arbitrary which messages this vfolder will show and which ones it fails to show.

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

And this is definitely not a blocker.

Personally, I think this whole vfolder mess should block the next release until it's cleaned up, entirely (relatively bug free and fully functional -- vfolders of vfolders, unread vfolder semantics like we used to enjoy, etc.)...

But as you wish...

I agree, that's why 543389 has the gnome target set.
Comment 4 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-01-29 03:57:43 UTC
Is there a pattern? Like new mails or some specific folders etc?
Comment 5 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-01-29 04:59:19 UTC
Or is this new with 2.24.3 and not in 2.24.2?

Nope.  No real pattern.

I'm not sure.  I've only really just noticed it TBH.
Comment 7 Brian J. Murrell 2009-08-25 12:08:20 UTC
There has been no response to my last report almost 8 months ago.

This is still happening in 2.26.1.  Will it be resolved in time for the next release?  Please fill in the GNOME target item on this bug so that I can have a reasonable expectation as to how long this will go on.

A target which has already been surpassed and yet there are still bugs with this Camel summary/vfolder stuff.  So it seems that being "major" is not enough to make a target or am I misunderstanding how targets work?

looks dupe of bug 576953
Comment 10 Johann Glaser 2009-10-12 16:54:01 UTC
This bug is still there in 2.28.0.

On my installation it seems to have some pattern. Mails in deeper directories (3rd level) are more often "overlooked". And that is especially true for new emails (e.g. when I start Evolution with old .evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db* files and it immediately starts to download new emails, some/many of these are overlooked).

I usually do a
  # /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/killev && rm .evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db*
and start Evolution again. Then it scans through all mail directories and the list in the unread vFolder is correct.

All (or most?) mails which are received after this clean-up are correctly visible in the unread vFolder.
Comment 11 Brian J. Murrell 2009-11-02 15:59:54 UTC
Yeah, I can confirm that frequently, the missing messages arrived while evolution was not running.  For whatever reason, sometimes, a startup fails to enumerate the new messages into the vfolder.  Given the frequency of crashes here, this happens a lot.
