There should be a new mail in your mailbox to reproduce this bug. For borth clients I used IMAP on my own dovecot mail server. STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: 1. Open evolution on your desktop system (I used Ubuntu 8.10). 2. Mark the new mail in the message list. 3. Delete the mail --> the mail will be removed from the list 4. Close evolution 5. Open the email client (modest) on your tablet 6. switch to the inbox of the same account used in step 1. to 3. EXPECTED OUTCOME: the mail that was deleted in step 3. should not be listed by modest. ACTUAL OUTCOME: The mail is shown in the mail list and it's shown as unread... REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: This bug is very annoying if I'm using evolution and modest alternately.
I can reproduce this (dovecot 1.1.10 with maildir storage or cyrus 2.3.9 on the server side, Ubuntu 9.04 evolution or mutt on the client). Additional info: Checking the folder after step 4, the message is marked as deleted but not expunged. Modest still displays the deleted message after a "Send and receive" operation or after switching to a different account and back. The unread message count in the folder list does not include the deleted message. It does notice that the message is deleted if I switch to a different folder on the same account and back. Switching accounts or closing modest before it notices the deletion sometimes undeletes the message (this may be related to bug 2536). The Fremantle version seems mostly ok, although it sometimes displays the deleted message in strikethrough and sometimes it just hides it.
(In reply to comment #1) > I can reproduce this ...also with the Modest Git checkout? :-)
No, to clarify: by "Fremantle version" I meant the git/svn checkouts of modest (389812a25c06b921408b7a0d965bb8dec6e80245) & tinymail (3924) from a few days ago.
Well, for Diablo it's WONTFIX anyway as it's not a critical issue (Diablo is in maintenance mode), and if it basically works for you in Fremantle it seems to be fixed/not an issue anymore (RESOLVED WORKSFORME && Target Milestone == Fremantle).
(In reply to comment #4) > Well, for Diablo it's WONTFIX anyway as it's not a critical issue And there will be never a in-official version of modest for diablo? :-/ I don't have any experience to build it for my own from actual sources so an in-official version which is easy to install would be great. For this issue it is a workaround for me to expunge mails in evolution every time I close the application.
(In reply to comment #5) > And there will be never a in-official version of modest for diablo? :-/ The likelyhood of another update is low - I only expect it to happen if there's a critical issue. The solution is Mer which is work in progress and will provide some Fremantle stuff "backported" for N8x0 devices: http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer . > The Fremantle version seems mostly ok, although it sometimes displays > the deleted message in strikethrough and sometimes it just hides it. Closing as WONTFIX for Diablo and WORKSFORME for Fremantle (not really "FIXED"). Lucas, if you find a reliable way to reproduce your issue, please file a bug report. It's highly welcome! :-)
