I posted a workaround to my problem in case anybody else faces this issue. If you have a better idea on how to fix this, please let me know. http://francoismichonneau.net/2011/06/evolution-3-and-offlineimap/ Cheers, -- François On Fri, 2011-06-03 at 11:46 -0400, François Michonneau wrote:
Hello, I use offlineimap to synchronize my mail locally with my Gmail account. I use evolution to read the maildir folder that offlinemap creates. I upgraded to Evolution 3.0.2 but there is something wrong. I'm not sure if it comes from my configuration or if it's a bug in Evolution. Any help would be appreciated. When I point Evolution to my maildir folder, it creates a new hidden folder with the same name and empties the original folder. For instance my folder Alerts become .Alerts. The content of Alerts is the normal cur, tmp, new but all of these folders are emptied and the content is copied to .Alerts. This is however an issue because offlineimap interprets this as my Alerts folder being empty and removes all message from my Alerts folder in Gmail. How can I avoid this? Thanks for your help, -- François
