The situation is rather worse than I had thought. I've submitted a long comment to bug 653957 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653957 A summary of the problems follows; there's more info in the comment to the bug report. I created the folder fred. It appeared to be created in local only; nothing showed up in local_mbox, though it did show up in evolution's folder list. While deleting the mail folder fred, this message appeared in a red error panel: Error while Storing folder 'fred'. Cannot open maildir directory path: /home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.fred: No such file or directory The mail folder was deleted. The folder mackay was converted from the 2.26.x version to the 3.0.x version. While moving a message from mail folder "Sent" to mail folder "mackay", this message appeared in a red error panel: Error while Moving messages to 'maildir:/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#mackay Cannot transfer message to destination folder: No such file or directory The message was not moved. If messages are copied from a newly created folder (not "converted), to an old ("converted") folder, the Sender: field is lost. That is, the Sender field appears as blank when the message is displayed. If there is a filter on outgoing mail which requires a message to be refiled into a "converted" folder, evolution crashes. (The original crash report is an example of this.) However if the folder is newly created (not "converted") the sending process hangs, and the message is never sent. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
