Please describe the problem: Hallo, Upon moving a chunk of mail to a subfolder of the current folder, the labels of those emails would be lost, and I mean lost, not just invisible, because I restarted the app. I didn't quite know, if I should report this problem, since I could not reproduce it. But it definitely occurred. Timing issues, maybe? If you can give me advice on how to test this further (breakpoints in gdb, log output, etc) I can get into it a little more. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I remember, I did use Ctrl-E to purge the folder from which I moved
Just had this happening again today and yesterday with fairly recent git version of 2.27.2. 1.) I receive a mail from my imap account. 2.) A filter moves the mail to the local INBOX. 3.) I add some labels to the mail 4.) I move the mail to a different folder 5.) I go to that folder and the mail isn't there. Yesterday I opened ~/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db and the mail would not show up in the table for that folder. 6.) I type a letter occurring in the subject of the mail in question into the search box, hit return, and there suddenly is the mail. I clear the search field and the mail doesn't show up. 7.) I close evolution and also do a --force-shutdown and restart the app 8.) The mail now is visible in the folder but the labels are gone Might there be a problem with the cache? How can I test this? I just could not reproduce it!!
Had the problem again today. At least found a workaround. Move the mail again to the same folder. Now, both mails are visible and also in folders.db.
I checked which processes of evolution where running after quitting the app and there were two: - evolution-data-server 2.28 from my self built version in /opt/evo and... - evolution-exchange storage from the default gnome installation 2.26 in /usr/lib... I uninstalled evolution 2.26... will see if it happens again.
