[Bug 1504665] Re: Evolution fails to show IMAP folder "Inbox". It only shows the bogus empty folder "INBOX" (all caps)

 

@Sebastien Bacher (seb128)
Do you think this update would fit the SRU criteria?  The criterion that comes closest to matching is:
    Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical
    infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel).

But I do not know if this bug has an "obviously safe patch".

I myself am using evolution 3.18.2-0ubuntu1~wily1 (along with many other
Gnome 3.18 packages) from gnome3-staging PPA.

Title:
  Evolution fails to show IMAP folder "Inbox".  It only shows the bogus
  empty folder "INBOX" (all caps)

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In my workplace, I access email via IMAP.  The default mail client is
  Thunderbird (Windows).  Thunderbird on Ubuntu does work correctly.  I
  wanted though to use Evolution.  However, evolution fails to show
  Inbox.  Instead of Inbox it shows an empty bogus "INBOX" (all-caps).

  This bug occurs both on a fully updated installation of 15.04, and on
  a fully updated installation of 15.10 (I installed it in a Virtualbox
  VM and updated it with apt).

  I have tried to reproduce it with Evolution 3.18, but:
  1. In Fedora 23 Beta live (in Virtualbox), Evolution fails to connect to the IMAP server.  I then tried to install Fedora 23 Beta to disk (within Virtualbox) but Anaconda crashed every time I tried.

  2. The OpenSuse live Gnome image mentioned in www.gnome.org/getting-
  gnome/ fails to load the X server within Virtualbox.  Then I wrote it
  to a pen drive and booted it, but I had network problems with live
  Gnome.
