Hm, I wish I could avoid caches -- please help explaining the following behaviour, though: - Create a fresh IMAP account, local sync disabled (20.000+ emails on the server, a lot of subfolders) - Use another mail client to move an email into a subdirectory of that same IMAP account; in my case that mail was flagged read - In Evolution, search that mail from the top folder incl. all subfolders, by entering the unique subject - BTW: Indeed, the status line displays something like server based search... nice - Wait until all processes finish (10 minutes here) Result: Mail not found. - Try Send / Receive messages - This took 30 minutes - Search repeated as above Result: Mail not found. When I manually open the subfolder with that mail once, and then restart the search from the top folder it gets found. What is happening here? _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
