Re: [Evolution] Problems checking mail

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Okay, so I think I've just fixed this whole POP3 bug for good. With a
minute or 2 of looking around the source code it dawned on me that the
reason the pop3 store wasn't closing when we let go of the inbox was
because the pop3 store had a vTrash folder that wasn't yet closed. Since
a pop3 store shouldn't have a vTrash folder, I just replaced the default
implementation with a no-op this way the pop3 store never gets a vTrash
and all is back to the way it once was when it worked ;-)
yay!
