[Bug 13983] Re: Evolution virtual trash / "real" trash on IMAP server

 

Don't mind about it. Evolution is history. Canonical has decided to make
Thunderbird the default mail client, and they did it right. The
evolution of evolution got stuck in the last century. If someone is
argueing "this is the way how imap is designed to work", he is not
willing to make his piece of software user-friendly. This is a point
which makes Apple so successfull. The user experience has to have the
highest priority, not some old fashioned technical arguments.

  Evolution virtual trash / "real" trash on IMAP server

Bug description:
  Hi,

  This bug refer to the bug 12439 of evolution
  (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6061).
  Evolution developpers don't seems to understand the importance of this bug. So,
  evolution being the main Ubuntu MUA, I think this problem concerne Ubuntu.

  I explain you quickly the problem :
  The evolution Trash is a virtual folder showing mails marked as DELETED on IMAP
  server.
  In a "one user" on "one desktop" and "one OS", it's probably a really good think
  for all reasons given by evolution team.

  But in my environnement : multiple user, multiple OSes, multiple MUA, ... it's a
  critical probleme.
  For security reason (too easy to definitively destroy a mail) user the MUA must
  copy deleted mail in a real Trash mailbox on the IMAP server.

  I can use another MUA like thunderbird, but I loose the really good  integration
   of evolution in ubuntu.
