Package: evolution Version: 2.4.2.1-1 Severity: important tag: sid Evolution 2.2.x, when configured as an IMAP client (using the IMAP4rev1 backend), always enumerated all of the mailboxes on the target IMAP server at startup and added them to the account's folder listing when the option 'Show only subscribed folders' was disabled. I consider this 'correct' behaviour.
The new Evolution 2.4.2.1-1 as now shipped in Unstable does _not_ enumerate *any* remote folders on the IMAP server (including INBOX!) when this option is disabled. The only folders that are visible are the standard Trash, Junk and Sent mailboxes. The IMAP server in this case is Dovecot 1.0-alpha5 (as shipped in Unstable), though I have also seen this bug on a WU-IMAPD server (version unknown) -- so I suspect it to be a client-side, not a server-side problem. Workaround: enable the "Show only subscribed folders" option and explicitly subscribe to all of the target folders. Repeat whenever new folders are created on the server. I have also observed this problem on an Ubuntu Breezy installation, which also ships Evolution 2.4.x -- it does not appear to be Debian-specific. Please feel free to ask for more information if needed! Cheers, David -- David McBride <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Department of Computing, Imperial College, London
