Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I renamed a mail folder (IMAP) using right-click -> Rename folder. (The
renamed folder was not INBOX, and I did not move it to INBOX.) What
happened in the Evolution UI was that:
1. A folder appeared with the new name, but with no messages.
2. The old folder remained behind, but also empty.
Checking with a different email client (alpine), the folder was renamed
alright and the messages were still there. However, evolution failed to
show them. Going to Folder -> Subscriptions and unchecking checkboxes,
pushing Refresh, re-checking the checkboxes, and restarting Evolution
helped.
I also unsubscribed and re-subscribed INBOX by accident at the same
time. This made all messages in INBOX to disappear. Again, checking
with alpine, the messages are there, but Evolution refuses to show them.
The procedure that helped with the renamed folder doesn't seem to make
the messages re-appear. Note that this is not the only time this kind of
thing has happened to me with Evolution -- moving and removing folders
seems to quite often make it confused.
