[Evolution] Inbox

[Ron McKeating <R J Mckeating lboro ac uk>]

Hi all,

I have had a very weird experience with evolution 1.2 this morning,
figured I would see if anybody could shed some light on what may be
going on.

Our mail server MTA is a linux box running exim with exiscan controlling
spamassassin and kaspersky.

We decided as part of our testing of spamassassin to create a new folder
for me (test user) called SPAM and subscribe me to it. We did this on
the server not by using the evolution client. When I restarted evolution
to see if the folder had turned up, it had, but something had gone
really weird with my root folder. Instead of the root folder being my
account name, and the first available folder with mail in it being
inbox, inbox had become the root folder. When evolution first runs it
now highlights inbox and the panel at the side says "This folder cannot
contain email".  If I clicked on the root folder it just defaulted back
to the inbox. I could read all the other folders but not the inbox.

In the end I moved everything in my evolution dir to a dir called
oldevolution and re-ran evolution. It created everything from new and
now all is well. I still have the old files if anybody would like to
look at them.  

Anybody got any idea what was broken ?
