Description Scott Couston 2006-10-06 09:34:51 UTC
Select Trash folder in Evolution> Select 1 or several emails > Right click and select Undelete.

Selected email(s) will now enter the in box.

Select Inbox > Select one or more emails> Right click and select "Move" and move to a local folder.

Outcome. The email that was moved to a local folder ends up back in the 'Trash folder. It never gets moved to the selected folder.

It appears that the undelete function is not working and once an email is in the trash folder it cannot ever be moved to any other folder even if you omit the undelete function.

If undeleting a large number of emails and attempting to move to a singular local folder results in corruption of indexing of the folder the undeleted emails were moved to - see screen shot.

There appears no way of re-indexing the database. The synchronise menu option offers an extraneous error response. see screen capture.

Folder properties indicate the local folder has now 978 emails in it when there is in reality on 64.

I am unable to fix the indexing problem now.

This problem is faithfully reproducible

Suggest that to overcome this type of error that either.
1.There is the option to re-index the Local Folder Database OR if not
2.every time Evolution is opened the integrity to the structure of the indexes is verified and may request manual re-indexing.

This bug is over 2 months old and with so many errors in Evolution under KDE I moved to Thunderbird 10 months ago as bug fixes with evolution were rare and no confidence. Please reassign to yourselves. Author has dismissed Evolution, like many who use KDE due errors.
