ubuntu-phone team mailing list archive

[Francisco Pina Martins <f.pinamartins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, time to dig deeper, I guess.

Here's what I have found. Let's use only the emails from this list for 
simplicity's sake.
The moment I receive an email from ubuntu-phone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, I 
get a notification on the phone.
This is happening despite both the filters and the "hide" bits are set 
for "categories".

If I receive the notifications on my phone, and then go to gmail web 
interface, when I run the same query as account-polld, all the messeges 
from the list show up (ergo, the web interface is providing me the same 
results as the phone notifications), furthermore, those messages get 
labelled "Inbox", despite an active filter that specifically says "skip 
inbox".

The moment I start Thunderbird (which uses IMAP for this gmal account), 
the query in the gmail web interface stops returning any results 
(including messages that are not relabeled anything, such as emails from 
my family), despite the fact that all of these messages are still 
unopened and marked "unread" in Thunderbird.

Could this be related to the IMAP usage? I would expect more people 
affected.
I am now going to try the SPAM filter and see what happens.

Should I open a bug report in launchpad?

Thanks,

Francisco
