[Evolution] 0.8 problems - Imap folders et al.



Here are some of the glitches currently evident in evolution (ex cvs)
There are others, but off the top of my head these are the only one's I
can remember being consitantly reproducable.

I have my Imap folders in a directory structure, ie personal email in a
directory called Personal, work related email in a directory called
Work.

If I subscribe to a folder in one of these subdirectories it does not
show in the tree until I restart evolution. The following error is
reported. 
Evolution-shell-WARNING **: e_folder_tree_add: Trying to add a subfolder
to a path that does not exist yet -- /Marathon
Cannot register folder -- /Marathon/jacques
/home/rgs/mail/Marathon/jacques
If I add a folder in an existing path, it shows up immediately.

When folders are subscribed to, the full path name appears in the tree.
I only want to see the name of the individual folder, not its path.
(I have reported this before)

I often crash on expunging. I will include a bt in a separate message.
If I try and reproduce it now, I will probably lose what I have already
typed.

If I do a search on 'Subject Contains' the behavior is more akin to
'Subject matches exactly' . It only matches if I type in the subject
line exactly as it appears in the table view, including the trailing
spaces!

A filter which moves mail from an imap folder copies the messages
successfully, but does not delete them. They are shown as deleted but
they do not go away with an expunge, and they are still there if you
hide deleted messages. (I think I have mentioned this before too).

The calendar seems to have a problem which I presume to be with daylight
saving. If I go into the day view, click on the 9am slot, and type
something, when I press return my entry jumps back in time to 8am.

I invariably check email each morning just after 7am. Despite this
consistant behaviour, evolution has not once greated me with a cup of
freshly brewed coffee. I notice also that despite evolution being left
running all night, in the morning the dishes remain undone and the
laundry unfolded. I would hope that this is smartly addressed by the
release of  0.8.1

Merry Xmas everyone.
