Can't use a vFolder as a source in another vFolder
Last modified: 2009-05-12 17:59:18 UTC
It doesn't appear to be possible to use a vFolder as a source for subsequent vFolders. This seems to be a regression, as I distinctly remember using this capability to aid in mail organization and classification (I get mails from multiple domains, and used to do this to identify mails I needed to respond to quickly). I believe the last version I remember using this in successfully was 2.20, but I could be wrong. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a vFolder; set it up however desired, except it must use a real folder as a source. Verify it shows the messages expected. 2. Create a second vFolder, but set it to use the vFolder created in step 1 as a "Specific Folder" source; ensure the specified criteria should match at least one message (I've used "Match All"). Expected result: The second vFolder should be filtered according to its own criteria, as well as those of the dependent folder. Actual result: The first vFolder shows the expected messages. The second vFolder shows "There are no messages in this folder."
Please always mention your exact version. Is this 2.26.1?
Yes. This is Evolution 2.26.1, as packaged in Ubuntu Jaunty [9.04] (pkg version is 2.26.1-0ubuntu1).
should be fixed in 2.26.2 Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 573170 ***
That's great! Now I just need to wait for Ubuntu to package it :-) And now to figure out how I managed to miss the original report; I try to be meticulous about tracking down if something's already been reported ...
