[Bug 874571] Re: Evolution unsubscribed from a bunch of IMAP folders

 

** Summary changed:

- Most of my mail disappeared from evolution
+ Evolution unsubscribed from a bunch of IMAP folders

** Description changed:

  After upgrading to 11.10, the first time I ran evolution I was presented
  with a dialog telling me it was necessary to convert the local storage
  from mbox to maildir (I don't remember what it said exactly, but it was
  something like that). Upon hitting Ok, evolution started and most of the
- mail folders from my IMAP account were gone.  Now I have the following
- on disk:
- 
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls
- 1202922324.4288.17@feioso  imap  local  local_mbox  vfolder
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls ../
- addressbook  camel-cert.db   cert8.db  mail   printing.ini  signatures
- calendar     categories.xml  key3.db   memos  secmod.db     tasks
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls
- 1202922324.4288.17@feioso  imap  local  local_mbox  vfolder
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls imap/
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls local
- cur  folders.db  new  tmp
- salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls local_mbox/
- Drafts                  Inbox.ibex.index        Sent.cmeta
- Drafts.cmeta            Inbox.ibex.index.data   Sent.ibex.index
- Drafts.ibex.index       Outbox                  Sent.ibex.index.data
- Drafts.ibex.index.data  Outbox.cmeta            Templates
- folders.db              Outbox.ibex.index       Templates.cmeta
- Inbox                   Outbox.ibex.index.data  Templates.ibex.index
- Inbox.cmeta             Sent                    Templates.ibex.index.data
+ mail folders from my IMAP account were gone. Once I found Folder ->
+ Subscriptions I noticed it'd just unsubscribed from a bunch of my
+ folders.  Ticking the checkboxes was all I had to do to get my mail
+ back.
