Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Short Version:
An email downloads to Evolution, evolution applies a rule, moves the email to
FolderA, however, never updates the IMAP server of the complete move, so other
IMAP clients accessing that account see the message both in the Inbox and in
FolderA.
Longer Version:
I have an IMAP email account that I check from several computers, including my
Ubuntu 8.10 install in Evolution and my iPhone.
On all systems, including iPhone, the account is setup as IMAP.
Everything works when I do things manually. If I move a message from
Inbox to FolderA in Evolution, it moves, and when I check my mail on my
iPhone, I see the message in FolderA, not the Inbox.
However, when I set a message filter to move certain messages from the
Inbox to FolderA upon receipt, while Evolution moves the message to
FolderA as soon as it downloads, there never seems to be an "update"
back to the IMAP server that the message has moved from the Inbox. There
*DOES* seem to be an update back to the IMAP server that the message is
in FolderA, though.
The result, currently, is that even though Evolution is left on and
checking messages, moving certain incoming emails to FolderA, on the
iPhone, I have the messages in FolderA *AND* the Inbox. Even when I do
an update, or wait on the iPhone, they still appear in both FolderA and
the Inbox.
To verify this wasn't a problem with just the iPhone, I logged into the
web-based interface for the IMAP account and verified that the emails
were still in the inbox.
The requested information to include:
m...@trader:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
m...@trader:~$ apt-cache policy evolution

Expected Evolution to update the IMAP server, telling it the message is
now in FolderA, and remove it from Inbox.
It left it in both Inbox and FolderA on the IMAP server, FolderA in
Evolution, and Inbox & FolderA on every other IMAP client that connects
to that account.
