Re: [Evolution] IMAP - Junk and Trash folder appear twice





Does it enable the real Trash if it finds it on the server, or does
it just populate the field and leave the option disabled?
      Hi,
enables and uses it. For newly configured accounts only, already
created accounts are left unaffected.

OK.


I guess you'd like to see an option for this at the Summary page of the
new Mail account wizard, something like "Lookup special folders on the
server" (I miss a better, user-friendly name, for it), initially
checked, right? It would work in an "all or nothing" way. There is a
new button "Lookup folders" at the Defaults tab, thus this can be run
any time later, if needed, and the dialog reflects what was found.

Well actually, *I* would prefer that there wasn't a "real" Trash at
all. I much prefer the "mark as deleted" method of doing things. 

I also don't think that you should enable the real trash in the account
setup even if a Trash (or equivalent) is found. What you are doing is
making the real Trash the de facto account creation default since I
suspect that virtually all IMAP accounts will have a "Trash" or
"Wastebasket" or "Deleted Items" folder in there already.  Certainly
mine do because I use other MUAs (both now and in the past) - it now
means that whenever I setup a new instance of Evolution, I will have to
try and remember that the default is now to use a "real" Trash if Evo
thinks a suitable container is present. (And I won't remember because I
setup Evo from new so rarely these days.)  :-(
