Re: [Evolution] Folders not always working with filters

[Eric Lambart <lambart got net>]

There IS still something seriously wrong with folder creation.  Just yesterday (0908 snap) I created a new 
folder via the folder creation dialog, and tried 
via Ctrl-Shift-M to move a bunch of messages into that folder.  It claimed the folder (filesystem path) did 
not exist.  I clicked on the new folder, and 
upon opening it (well, attempting to), Evo claimed the folder did not exist.  At this point I verified 
through a terminal that the path did exist, though I'm 
not sure it did before I tried to access it.  

If I remember correctly, upon clicking away the error dialog, clicking to another folder and then back to the 
new folder, the error message did not 
appear and then I was able to move messages into that folder.  I did not have to restart Evolution.

I had seen this error since early August so I did not bother checking the status of any bug reports which I 
am sure are already there.
