Work around QRESYNC bug in Zimbra's IMAP server
Last modified: 2013-09-14 16:55:43 UTC
After a few days (less than one week) I always get a big message in red in Evolution that says: G00194 BAD parse error: invalid message sequence number: 1,114,600,762,816,834 These numbers can be different but not the message. The solution is always the same, I have to remove all emails into '~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imapx/me\@imap.free.fr/' and so download them again later. When Evolution is in this state but I try anyway to read an 'old' email -- which means an emails that isn't cached on my machine -- I see the following error in the message window: 'SELECT INBOX failed: parse error: invalid message sequence number: 1,114,600,762,816,834' So, the same message... The remote IMAPx server is Zimbra but I don't know which version (it is provided by the French ISP Free for all its customers). I can add that I don't encounter any problem during the days it works: I mean that the emails are immediately presented by Evolution when the Zimbra servers got them. Here an example of what occurs with an 'old' email I'm trying to read: DB SQL operation [SELECT uid, flags, size, dsent, dreceived, subject, mail_from, mail_to, mail_cc, mlist, part, labels, usertags, cinfo, bdata FROM 'INBOX' ] started Database succesfully closed [imapx:A] camel_imapx_read: buffer is '* STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 832 UIDNEXT 67422 UIDVALIDITY 1 UNSEEN 3 HIGHESTMODSEQ 370502) A00005 OK STATUS completed ' [imapx:A] token '*' [imapx:A] got untagged response [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'STATUS' [imapx:A] Have token 'STATUS' id 0 [imapx:A] token STRING 'INBOX' [imapx:A] token '(' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'MESSAGES' [imapx:A] token TOKEN '832' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'UIDNEXT' [imapx:A] token TOKEN '67422' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'UIDVALIDITY' [imapx:A] token TOKEN '1' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'UNSEEN' [imapx:A] token TOKEN '3' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'HIGHESTMODSEQ' [imapx:A] token TOKEN '370502' [imapx:A] token ')' [imapx:?] find_full: comparing namespace '' to name 'INBOX' [imapx:A] Got folder path 'INBOX' for full 'INBOX' [imapx:A] token ' ' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'A00005' [imapx:A] Got completion response for command 00005 'STATUS' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'OK' [imapx:A] token TOKEN 'STATUS' [imapx:A] ** Starting next command [imapx:A] * no, no jobs [imapx:A] folder INBOX is not selected, total 842 / 832, unread 0 / 3, modseq 370339 / 370502, uidnext 67409 / 67422: will rescan DB Operation ended.

The version of Evolution I use comes from Fedora 15 64 bits, packages are: evolution-3.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64 evolution-data-server-3.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64
I have a similar problem, with both Evolution 2.32 and Evolution 3.0 - I'm using a Zimbra server as well, which may or may not be related. The main problem is that I sometimes access my Email using Evolution and sometimes using other clients or using the Zimbra web interface - then if I delete a message and later use Evolution, I get this error - for example this is from 2.32 but its very similar to the error from 3.0: ---- Error while Refreshing folder 'INBOX'. SELECT INBOX failed: parse error: invalid message sequence number: 1,149,311,365,383 ---- I usually get this right of the start because the last email that Evolution was on before using another client, is often an email that has been removed - because I read emails in LIFO order and file them away to other folders immediately after reading. So more often then not the email that Evolution tries to display when it first starts, is an email that is no longer in that folder. When that happens (every couple of days), there is no rescuing the situation and I have to shutdown Evolution and remove the mail cache directory.
I have the same problem, evo 3.2.2, imapx, and zimbra 7.1.3. It appears to happen only on the INBOX, and the workarround is to disable the use of Quick Resync in the account preferences

Hi (I'm the author of the bug 660588). My remote server is also a zimbra server (the one from the ISP free.fr). it may be related.
I also use the ISP free.fr and I had the same error, unchecking "Quick Resync" indeed work around the issue.
*** Bug 677414 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Still there, unfortunately. A co-worker deleted some mails on the server side and after that run evolution and once the imapx reached that folder it wasn't able to move any further, due to out-of-sync with the server.
This is arguably a Zimbra bug, but I worked around it in our IMAPX backend. Fixed for E-D-S 3.9.3 and 3.8.3 in: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=89b3af25c429bb57db9f4e38d31a862c2dca98df https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?h=gnome-3-8&id=fe53fde76b9521638b57e28250de8af16e58d206
