Dear Milan,
I am sending my message to the entire list now, but the reason why I
sent my message just to you is because you had originally suggested I
do that. That's because the output from
EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution
(which I had attached to the message sent just to you) contains lots of
private info. And I don't really know which parts are private to remove
them all before sharing with the list.
I am happy to post the output from EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution to the list, I
just hope that you can first only extract the relevant parts of it
(there is ~90 pages of it).
Thanks!
Luben

Hi,I vaguely recall something similar with IMAP, but nothing
with EWS. TheEWS works differently than IMAP. When you mark message as
read theaccount saves the change within a minute or so on its own. You
can evenselect a different folder, which will save the changes
immediately.When you return back to the folder it is updated with the
content onthe server. I do not see a reason why the save would fail.
You mightrun Evolution from a terminal and check its output, in case
there wouldbe printed anything related. You can also enable EWS
debugging with:
$ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution
to see what Evolution sends to the server and what the server
returns.The log shows raw communication, which is not share-able in
publicwithout sanitizing, because it contains a lot of private
information.You can limit the interesting parts of the log when you
"mark" a placejust before you mark message as read and move to a
different folder;then only the new content since that mark until you
return back to thefolder and see the previously marked message as read
to be unread isinteresting.
One problem with EWS log is also that some parts can be encoded,
thusit's not obvious that the encoded part contains private
information,aka the private information is not always shown in the
plain text. Imean, if you'll be sharing the log, then be careful. If
unsure, thensend the log only to me for a quick observation, just
reference thisthread, thus I won't overlook your mail in my spam
folder.
Bye, Milan

Dear Milan,
I did not do your recommendation (to run $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution and
report the output) for a long time in the hope that the issue would
resolve with updates, so I wouldn't have to be sending you this. It's
been almost a year and the problem/bug persists, so I am finally
following your advice. The output is attached.
I am responding to your personal email, as you recommended, because
there is lots of information in that log that is probably private, but
I don't know which one.
As a reminder, the problem/bug in my Gnome Evolution, now ver. 3.30.5-
1.1 on Debian 10, for the last year was that in my 3 EWS accounts, when
I read a message, close it, mark it as Unread, go to a diggerent
folder, and when I return, the message gets marked Read (and no, it is
not being open or previewed at that point). If I mark it as unread a
second time, going to another folder and then returning no longer
causes it to be marked Read anymore. All of this doesn't happen in the
POP account.
It is 90 (even after I deleted a ton of what I thought was gibberish),
so look for the following text identifying when I did what, including
the ##:
1. Everything starts from the moment I run EWS_DEBUG=2
2. Then look for:
#now will open an email to mark it as read##
3. Lastly, look for:
## now going to another folder and back to the Inbox, upon the return
in which the message got marked as Read##
Thank you in advance for your help with this!!!
Luben
