[Bug 426583] Re: Evolution DUPLICATE Gmail IMAP Send messages

 

I think Fedora has a better system of bug report management. Opened bugs
are only valid for the release life. It avoid the follow up for 2 y.o.
old bug reports. I am a happy Sylpheed user on LXDE.

Title:
  Evolution DUPLICATE Gmail IMAP Send messages

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Invalid
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Ubuntu 9.04/Evolution 2.26.1

  Evolution DUPLICATE Gmail IMAP Send messages.

  Evolution Preferences > Default > Send and Draft Messages:
  Drafts Folder: username/[Gmail]/Drafts
  Send Messages Folder: username/[Gmail]/Send Mail

  Every sent messages are duplicated in the Gmail send folder (2 copies
  of the same message in the folder) - WTF

  Evolution Preferences > Default > Send and Draft Messages:
  Drafts Folder: Drafts (default setting)
  Send Messages Folder: Send (default setting)

  Every sent messages are duplicated, one copy in the LOCAL send folder
  and  one copy in the GMAIL IMAP Sent folder

  I am fairly new to Evolution, I use it since I have moved to Linux
  under Ubuntu a few weeks ago. I used Thunderbird with Gmail IMAP
  accounts before. Nevertheless, if there is a setting "Send and Draft
  Message" and if I can select  Gmail folders for sent and draft
  messages (proper setting) There should be NO duplicate in these
  folders.

  Even more, I don't want to have duplicated sent messages in the Local
  Evolution folder. It defeat the purpose of the IMAP protocol and waste
  disk space.

  EDIT: Drafts correctly redirect save draft messages in the Gmail IMAP
  folder WITHOUT duplicate?!? I am getting lost here. Why doesn't it
  work with the Send messages too???
