Re: [Evolution] The Unread count bug revisited

But selecting a message doesn't increase count. I must mark as Unread, then Mark Read several messages, as described below. I have a folder that Evo says includes 2 Unread messages. There is only 1 Unread message in this folder. The count in the folder list is 'Folder Name (2)' and the info for the selected folder reads '2 Unread, 100 total'. If I the mark 2 more messages as Unread, the folder list shows 'Folder Name (3)' and the info at the top of the folder list reads '3 unread, 100 total'. I then select 4 messages (including the two I marked as Unread in the step above, but *not* the one true Unread message in the folder from the start) and mark them as unread. The folder list now says 'Folder Name (1)' and the info at the top of the folder list reads '1 unread, 99 total'. I notice this most on folders that don't get a message filtered into very often (low volume traffic lists for example) and that I don't go into very often. I read my mail on 3 different machines (2 running Fedora 12, one with Fedora 13). Quite often I find my folders showing incorrect information of this sort. By the way, How does one get an Unread but deleted message? If I mark a message as deleted and it was Unread, it gets turned into a Read message in the message list, and the info in the folder list changes accordingly.

I've recently been experimenting with this, and now have a reliable way of 1) creating the problem, and 2) fixing it. Note that there may be more than one bug here (BZ has several reports and it's not clear if they're all talking about the same thing), so this may not work for you. Nevertheless, I think it's interesting. The report is at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577542#c13 Briefly, you can create the problem by dragging a deleted but Unread message from an IMAP folder to a local one. You can fix it by marking one or more Read messages as Unread while watching the Unread count. As long as the count is inconsistent, marking messages as unread *will not increment it*. When the count becomes equal to the number of marked messages, it returns to consistency. If you then mark the messages as read, the count will decrement and remain consistent (until the next time of course :-) poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.

Re: [Evolution] Need help with Contacts

Those Contacts which are not appearing in the popup list will not return for a search, no matter how I enter their names or addresses. What that tells me is that the search, in this spot, is confined to only those that are already listed in the popup - in other words, it is not able to search the full list of Contacts on file - only those contained in the popup. I would be inclined to label that an oversight on the part of the developers. Why not search the entire Contacts list? ... Hi, I have a remote addressbook with 300+ contacts and few contact lists and I can see them all in the search dialog (under the To: button of a composer). Thus there is something special about your 8 contacts. We can try to find out, as maybe it doesn't recognize the email address of the contact for some reason. Please file a bug report about it, and mention there what address book you are using (if I recall correctly it's under On This Computer). It'll be better to deal with this investigation through the bugzilla, to not bother mailing list users/readers. With respect of sort by File Under in the same dialog, file another bug report too, please. It might not be so hard to change, on the first look, but it seems nobody requested it except of you. I agree with you it makes sense to sort by File Under there, or maybe make an option what to sort by? The thing is that the card view in the Contacts window sorts by File Under, but the list view can sort by anything in the table.

[Evolution] GUI question: clearing Inbox messages
A couple of times I've had the troubling experience that while mousing about the mail GUI, much or all of the contents of the Inbox (current folder) inadvertently disappears. I certainly did not deliberately highlight and delete, and seems unlikely to have done so without knowing. I've used the command line to investigate: no clue. It seems messages have been erased, not moved. Note that not all messages are affected. Can't find clues in Evolution Help. What mouse or mouse-keyboard events select and clear contents of mail folders?

Disappeared. As others already mentioned, be sure there is no search
active, menu Search / Clear, and the quicksearch bar says All Messages
are shown.
Then you could have hidden messages. View / Show Hidden.
Or deleted them (actually mark for, but that's an unrelated story). I
guess you did check your Trash folder, right?
Or, you could have accidentally Junked them. Did you check your Junk
folder?
I've used the command line to investigate: no clue.

not all messages are affected.
No clue doesn't really sound like you actually verified they have been
expunged (physically removed) from the mail store.
