On a brand new F13 install using yesterday's images/packages, and using evolution and imap, I noticed that when deleting emails, they aren't going to the trash folder. I understand that they technically they are still there and just hidden until emptied or however that works. But anyway, the only way the deleted msgs are being removed is if I go to each folder and go to File/empty trash to get them gone. Actually this has been going on last couple versions I believe, cant' remember when it started.
Anyone else seeing this?

I installed F12β and upgraded a week ago or so to F13. I remember something like this has once happened here, but after a restart of evolution everything was working again.
I never saw this again since then (also not now with: evolution-2.29.91-1.fc13.x86_64). Maybe there is a checkbox for that anywhere? (Just quessing and asking in the wild ;))

No checkmarks checked or unchecked that I could find. The only other explanation is if I did a clean setup (no backups) and see what that does. I might do that with a clean/new test user and see what happens.

Hi, try to run Evolution from console, and see what it says, if anything, in time of deleting the message.
One thing I do not understand from your description, when you delete message (press a Del button), the message is marked as deleted and either is removed from the message list or shown there with a strike out font. It should be also visible in the account's Trash folder. Because your Folder->Expunge does correct thing, then the message is marked as deleted. Thus I guess your UI is not showing the right thing, does it do at least one of the above mentioned? Maybe the index for a Trash folder is corrupted for some reason; you can try to stop Evolution and move out your ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders.db file, but as it contains all your account index, then the next start will take some time, till it fills it again. Or you can drop only all Trash related tables from there, but it's not as that easy to do. If something goes wrong, then return the folders.db file back.
Hope that helps, Milan

Yes the message was indeed marked with a strike out font, but it was never sent to the trash folder. I did already remove my .evolution folder and restarted evolution again, and now the emails at least get moved to the trash folder when deleted. The only thing I see now, is when I close/exit evolution it doesn't automatically empty the trash folder, and it is set in my preferences to do it every time.

The you seem to have unchecked View->Hide deleted messages, maybe intentionally.

I didn't notice that myself, and because you let it recreate all the summaries from scratch then the corruption of indexes is pretty unlikely. I've no idea here right now. Bye, Milan
