With Evolution 3.12.10 (as well as all previous versions I'm aware of), when email is moved to another folder, be it by filter rule or manually a duplicate message appears in Trash.
I believe this is only the case with IMAP mail accounts. Trying to confirm this, I copied several messages to folders "On this computer" and moved them about without the messages appearing in Trash. This inconsistent behavior suggests that the messages going to Trash are an artifact of interaction with the remote server via IMAP more so than an intentional feature. Negative effects of this cloning into trash include: 1) The end user, when auditing the contents of Trash prior to expunging may be compelled to confirm that some important and/or unread emails also reside in another location in the message store. 2) This increases the footprint and processing overhead of the message store, while adding no discernible value. 3) It is inconsistent with the operation of POP3 mail accounts and somewhat disconcerting. If it is technically impractical to alter Evolution so this does not occur, would it not be possible to flag or process these messages differently so that the end user or a mail filter can quickly and easily scan Trash and identify which mails reside there as a result of moving them to another folder? -- Best Regards, Dennis Reichel (dennis * reichel d.t net) _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
