[regression] Problem with sent folder after upgrade to today's git/master
Last modified: 2013-09-13 01:11:06 UTC
I just upgraded evolution and friends to today's git/master. Things work as expected, except that when I sent an e-mail I see the following warning(?): Your message was sent, but an error occurred during post-processing. The reported error was "failed to append to mbox:///home/ronis/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent: Cannot get folder 'Sent': folder does not exist. Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead." Evolution is correct, #Sent doesn't exist. ls -la | grep Sent shows: drwx------ 5 ronis ronis 4096 2011-02-24 12:34 .Sent/ -rw-r--r-- 1 ronis ronis 13 2011-03-10 16:36 .Sent.cmeta -rw------- 1 ronis ronis 1546240 2011-03-10 16:36 .Sent.ibex.index -rw------- 1 ronis ronis 2923448 2011-03-10 16:36 .Sent.ibex.index.data
Thanks for a bug report. You may let evo migrate correctly, as stated in bug #638307, to have this working properly. The development version is not doing a migrate, which is a known "issue", but I was told couple times that it is expected with a development version. Edit in gconf-editor the /apps/evolution/last_version and /apps/evolution/version to values like 2.32.0 and then start evolution. It should fix those accounts, which has set their Sent folders to be stored in mbox://, instead of maildir://. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 638307 ***
