Most people don't try to use "untranslated" folders, so they probably never see this error.
I get specific "Verzonden folder doesn't exist" errors when Evolution tries to store those mails in a non-existent 'Verzonden' folder while I specifically selected the existing 'Sent' folder. I also see errors in the logs of my dovecot server that confirm Evolution tries to use a non-existent "Verzonden" folder. It's obviously a bug that Evolution takes the name of a folder selected out of a list of existing folders, translates it, and then stores/uses that *translated* name as the actual folder name to store sent mails. There is no way this can ever work right... Maybe I should compile a bunch of screenshots / log entries / etc. to document this better (and then also report it upstream). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909799 Title: Evolution "helpfully" translates folder names when it shouldn't Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I select the 'Sent' folder in an (IMAP) account as the target for "sent mail", Evolution "helpfully" translates the 'Sent' to 'Verzonden' (Dutch for 'Sent') after selecting it, but as there is no 'Verzonden' folder, of course that subsequently results in Evolution not being able to store sent files in that non-existent folder... The same happens with e.g. the 'Drafts' folder. Although it may be nice to have translated folders configured by default, I think Evolution should not translate a _selected_ folder. BTW: the reason I want/have to use the 'Sent' folder and not 'Verzonden' is that I use those accounts with other mail clients and using software in different languages.
