Re: [Evolution] IMAP Large Folders Problems

Ahh, so it is an "implimentation" issue.  Not necessarily a broken
implimentation.

I should mention that I never really blamed Ximian, Ximian is just much
more likely to fix a problem than Lotus.  Can't wait to see Evolution on
the shelves at the local computer store.

We tried to get all the messages in 1 lump sum (the most efficient way
of doing it since it saves quite a bit of network traffic) - you'll
notice that we asked for 1:* which means "give us all the messages
starting with 1 all the way to the last message that you've got" and it
didn't, so we rightfully assumed that we weren't going to be able to
fetch any messages at all from the server and so thus didn't try again.
For all we knew, the problem could have been with any message - not
necessarily the first message. So to keep trying over and over could
have been a complete waste of time. How do we know that any of the
messages would work? We don't.

I claim this to be NOTXIMIAN.

I somewhat believe that it isn't Evo's fault.  I noticed the 0 Recent
message, but that doesn't explain why one  message will screw up the
entire downloading of the mail box.  I don't know enough about IMAP to
know whether it's a spec problem or an implimentation problem but on
message marked as SEEN doesn't mean that every message after that should
be.  Or failing the download of one message, the rest should be
checked.  It's possible that this is Domino's fault.  Anyway, I deleted
the first message in the inbox and tried again.  This got me all the
messages after that one up until the next message from the same author. 
I went through and deleted all messages from that author and all 12000
remaining messages came down.

Whenever you try and SELECT the INBOX (there are 0 recent btw, there may
be some unread messages, but unread don't necessarily mean recent in
imap-speak), your imap server doesn't give them to us because apparently
some of the messages contain Notes Rich Text formatted stuff or
something? 

Anyways, it refuses to give them to us so it's not our fault.

This is the output.  I note that there is about 12000 messages but it
says that 0 are recent?  They should all be recent.

Can you export CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 and then run evolution-mail in that
terminal then wait 5 seconds and start evolution in a second terminal
and send is the log?

Well, it's a Domino based mail file.  There were as I said 15000
messages in the "INBOX" which were truly in the inbox.  When I went to
download them, it got somewhere around August 2000 (I started here in
July) and stopped.  I deleted all 3000 of those messages and moved on. 
However it still won't download the rest of the messages. I looked in my
web-mail login and Domino shows that those messages got deleted, and
that there are still the same number of messages in the folder as
Evolution says are in the folder when it starts up.

I am asking it to filter my IMAP Inbox but that doesn't really make much
of a difference because the same filters are run by Domino before
Evolution hits the mail file.  So, anything Evo is going to filter,
Domino already has.

There's no problems with large IMAP folders that I know of... I've got
some pretty hefty sized imap folders and it works perfectly fine for me.

Are you by any chance using Evolution to filter your IMAP Inbox folder?
if so, then it might say "500 new messages" and then when you switch to
it, it will filter them into other folders and then the new message
count will change.

I know there was some talk about problems with large folders in IMAP
connections.  Is there a way to clear out what Evolution thinks is in
the Folder and force it to check again?  I had 15592 messages in my
INBOX and it only downloaded headers for 3523 of them.  I deleted all
3823 and now it says there are 12069 new messages but when I click on
the folder it checks the status and then reports 0 new messages and an
empty folder.  Not exactly correct.
