There is one configuration detail that may be different between us: I don't have the Gmail Junk folder subscribed in Evolution IMAP, so Evo never sees it. If I ever want to look at that folder (which I never do) I'll use the web interface. This doesn't really answer the question but might be a usable workaround. I suspect there's an unwanted interaction between Gmail "folders" (which aren't real folders but labels), and the IMAP interface which presents them as folders. The difference is that a message in Gmail may have multiple labels. If that happens, IMAP (and Evo) will see each folder with its own copy of the message, so the exact effect of moving them around may give unexpected results. I'm not sure how this would cause the problem you're seeing, but it might be the place to start looking. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
