Hi Evolution team! Thanks a lot for continuously working on and improving this great app, we have been using it for more than a decade now!
We use Evolution 3.18.5.2 (Ubuntu 16.04) and 3.34.1-2 (Ubuntu 19.10, previously the version 3.32.1-2 in 19.04) on two different computers, both will be updated this year. The email account this problem relates to is configured in the same way in both Evolution versions on the two computers. It is set up with IMAP. For a year or even more we have a mysterious problem. Emails in the trash folder that are usually automatically deleted from the email server after a month reappear in the Archive folder after they are deleted server-side. Maybe it is similar to this bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/580 But it does not happen immediately after the email was moved to the trash folder but most of the time only a month later when it is deleted from the server. In the above mentioned bug report you asked for the work flow. Here is ours: The emails that are read and not need to be archived are moved (manually) to the Trash folder. The emails that are read/answered are moved to the Archive folder, either by moving it manually or by "deleting" it with the Delete key as the Archive folder is set as the "Real Folder for Wastebasket/Trash". I wondered whether this last setting might explain the behaviour but we had this settings on all computers for many years (with different email providers) and the reappearance of the emails only occurred for a year or so. I first hoped it will disappear by itself but it did not. At the moment I have to re-delete all emails and then open the trash folder in Thunderbird and delete it there permanently. If I delete the re-deleted emails manually from the Trash in Evolution they usually reappear again. I can stop this problem if I set the official TRASH folder as the "Real Folder for Wastebasket/Trash" on the computer with 3.34.1-2 (Ubuntu 19.10). But it reappears if I use the Archive folder as the the "Real Folder for Wastebasket/Trash" like on the other computer. Do you need to know something more? Do you have any hint? Could it be an Evolution problem (maybe the old Evolution 3.18.5.2 or a new feature in the newer version)? Or is it rather a email server problem?
