Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
This may be a bit difficult to explain...
In Evolution, I currently have it configured to mark a new message as
read 0.5 seconds after I open the message. So, for example, I open my
inbox folder and there are 50 messages total and 5 marked Unread. I
click on one of the 5 Unread messages and open it. Evolution then marks
that message as read about 0.5 seconds after I open the message and
start reading it.
When I open a folder, evolution opens up a message automatically. IN
some cases, this is the last message read, in some cases, it's the first
unread message. The bug exists when the second case is met. When I
open a folder and evolution automatically opens an Unread message, that
unread message is NOT automatically marked read. Instead, I have to
open a different message and then return to that message to have it
marked Read.
This becomes an even bigger issue when I open a folder that contains
exactly ONE message. if I purge the contents of a folder, then get a
new message in that folder, I have to use contextual menus to mark the
message read, as there is NO way to have it handled by evolution in a
automatic method.
For example, please look at the screenshot I have attached.
You'll see my folder for mail from the Laptop Testing Team mailing list
at ubuntu.com. I recently purged that folder of all old messages. Then
I recieved a new message from that list which was filtered into the
folder for Laptop Testing Team.
When I open that folder, the message is opened, however, it is NOT
marked as read. Since there is nothing else in that folder, I can't use
the workaround of clicking on a different message then clicking back on
that message. Thus, the only way to mark the folder as read is to now
use context menus on the folder itself.
