package evolution-data-server tags 295270 unreproducible thanks
2006/10/29, Ben Hutchings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The problem appears to be that camel_mbox_summary_sync_mbox() in camel/providers/local/camel-mbox-summary.c marks changes in the summary as having been applied to the folder as soon as they have been applied to the new mbox file, even though an error later on - such as running out of disk space - will result in the new mbox file being removed. It should process all summary updates after updating the mbox file. (Also, possibly it should delete the summary files immediately before replacing the mbox file.) Fabian, this code is specific to mbox but there may be similar problems with summary/folder synchronisation for other access methods.
Nice observation. I'm still not able to create a case which reproduces this, though. Actually this is the top priority bug in evolution. If anyone could provide steps to reproduce this consistently, it would be of tremendous help. It's also interesting to get in touch with users that experience this more or less regularly. Thanks, Øystein
