Package: evolution Version: 2.26.3-2 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Recently Evolution has periodically been having a problem displaying mail through imap. One minute all of the messages show up in the inbox. Then the next, it will say "There are no messages in the folder" Then it will spin and spin and say "Refreshing folder(...)" at the bottom on the left and "Fetching summary information for new messages in INBOX" at the bottom on the right. I don't know if the imap server is getting disconnected that causes this or what. It basically looses all of the cached messages for INBOX and has to re get them and it takes a long time. Even after it finishes retrieving the messages, it still says "There are no messages in the folder". What is it fetching for that 20 minutes then? After it thinks it is done retrieving the messages, it will update the message count but still say "There are no messages in the folder". Clicking on the Inbox folder that is already highlighted does not help. This has been going on for almost a week. This problem never happened before. Now it is several times a day. Eventually, after a few hours, it seems to fix itself and display the messages again. Shutting down Evolution and restarting doesn't help. I'm not sure of the sequence of when the messages come back if it is after rebooting, closing evolution or just waiting.
When this happens, I can open icedove and the messages show up fine going to the same imap server. I don't know if a hiccup in the imap server happens that causes evolution to get all confused or what. I have tried with spamassassin on and off and it doesn't seem to make any difference. This happens on multiple computers all running squeeze. I just tried killing evolution and evolution data server and it went through the whole reload process and the left bar says 10 new messages but the message display still shows "There are no messages". Icedove displays all 801 messages. It seems to be an evolution problem not an imap server problem. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.091104 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 testing www.debian-multimedia.org 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing debian.linux.ibm.com 500 jaunty ppa.launchpad.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==============================================-+-================== libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18) | 2.3.20-2 libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) | 1.28.0-1 libbluetooth3 (>= 4.40) | 4.57-1 libbonobo2-0 (>= 2.15.0) | 2.24.2-1 libbonoboui2-0 (>= 2.15.1) | 2.24.2-1 libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~) | 2.10.1-7 libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4) | 1.8.8-2 libcamel1.2-14 (>= 2.26) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libcamel1.2-14 (<< 2.27) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.2.16-2 libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78) | 0.82-2 libebackend1.2-0 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libebook1.2-9 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libecal1.2-7 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libedataserver1.2-11 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libedataserverui1.2-8 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libegroupwise1.2-13 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libenchant1c2a (>= 1.4.2) | 1.4.2-3.3 libexchange-storage1.2-3 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0) | 2.6.0-4 libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1) | 2.3.11-1 libgconf2-4 (>= 2.23.2) | 2.28.0-1 libgdata-google1.2-1 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libgdata1.2-1 (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 libglade2-0 (>= 1:2.6.1) | 1:2.6.4-1 libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.18.0) | 2.22.2-2 libgnome-pilot2 (>= 2.0.2) | 2.0.15-2.4 libgnome2-0 (>= 2.17.3) | 2.26.0-1 libgnomecanvas2-0 (>= 2.11.1) | 2.26.0-1 libgnomeui-0 (>= 2.22.0) | 2.24.2-1 libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 1:2.17.90) | 1:2.24.2-1 libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0) | 2.18.3-1 libgtkhtml-editor0 (>= 3.26) | 3.26.3-1 libgtkhtml-editor0 (<< 3.27) | 3.26.3-1 libgtkhtml3.14-19 (>= 3.26.3) | 3.26.3-1 libgweather1 (>= 2.23.92) | 2.28.0-1 libhal1 (>= 0.5.8.1) | 0.5.13-4 libical0 (>= 0.42) | 0.43-3 libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) | 2:1.0.5-1 libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) | 2.4.17-2.1 libnotify1 (>= 0.4.5) | 0.4.5-1 libnotify1-gtk2.10 | libnspr4-0d (>= 1.8.0.10) | 4.8.2-1 libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.0~1.9b1) | 3.12.4-1 liborbit2 (>= 1:2.14.10) | 1:2.14.17-1 libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) | 1.26.0-1 libpisock9 | 0.12.4-6 libpisync1 | 0.12.4-6 libpopt0 (>= 1.14) | 1.15-1 libsm6 | 2:1.1.1-1 libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.25.91) | 2.28.1-3 libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.6.16) | 3.6.20-1 libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12) | 2:0.1.12-13 libx11-6 | 2:1.2.2-1 libxml2 (>= 2.6.27) | 2.7.6.dfsg-1 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) | 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 gconf2 (>= 2.10.1-2) | 2.28.0-1 evolution-common (= 2.26.3-2) | 2.26.3-2 evolution-data-server (>= 2.26.3) | 2.26.3-1+b1 evolution-data-server (<< 2.27.0) | 2.26.3-1+b1 gnome-icon-theme (>= 2.19.91) | 2.28.0-1 dbus | 1.2.16-2 Recommends (Version) | Installed ===================================-+-=========== gnome-pilot-conduits (>= 2.0.9) | 2.0.15-1.2 gnome-desktop-data | 2.28.1-1 evolution-plugins | 2.26.3-2 evolution-webcal | 2.26.0-1 yelp | 2.28.0+webkit-1 bogofilter | 1.2.0-1 OR spamassassin | Suggests (Version) | Installed =============================================-+-=========== bug-buddy | gnupg | 1.4.10-2 network-manager | 0.7.1-2 evolution-exchange | 2.26.3-1 evolution-dbg | evolution-plugins-experimental | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
