Evolution is only aware of some of the folders on my IMAP account. My efforts to get it to start over haven't worked. Can anyone advise me what I need to do to get the list of folders accurate?
The folders showing appear to be the ones I'm subscribed to; checking and unchecking the "show only subscribed folders" option (which was originally off anyway) doesn't change the display. I have a weird, incomplete list of subscribed folders on the server because (probably) of another email client (icedove aka thunderbird) that died while working with the mailbox. icedove shows the same list of folders as evolution. I want to see all folders, not the small subset that seems to have been marked subscribed. I tried deleting (renaming, actually) .evolution, .gnome2_private/Evolutioin, and .gconf/apps/evolution. I tried evolution --force-shutdown. I tried asking it to send/receive mail, though I interrupted that because it was taking forever. I tried deleting and recreating the account (in evolution). I have not done alll these things at once. For example, when I renamed the files I quit evo, but did not --force-shutdown or stop gconfd (which means, I think, that it held onto some some old settings in memory. However, it doesn't appear to have any settings that list particular folders.) I do not know what a good way to shutdown gconfd is, short of logging out. My understanding was that it was supposed to shut down after a couple of minutes of inactivity, but it doesn't do so (could it be waiting for one of the evo sessions I killed to tell say it's done?). I have over 100 folders, some nested within others. The largest folder has about 340,000 messages. My server is running Cyrus 2.2 (locally). When I first created the accounts my version (Debian 2.6.3-6) was suffering from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324982 (though with different symptoms: after I created the account the process of opening folders hung and I got the error message shown in the bug in my .xsession-errors). I rebuilt with the fix http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/evolution/trunk/plugins/new-mail-notify/org-gnome-new-mail-notify.eplug.xml?r1=33354&r2=33530. It is possible there were other problems as well, since I got other errors (see at bottom of message and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423916). Here's the .xsession-errors corresponding to my original account creation: -------------------------------------------------------- CalDAV Eplugin starting up ... libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error.

Suspiciously, this seems to be triggered by the receipt of new mail, not the creation of an account). _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
