[Evolution] archive message doesn't work in search folder

[D Harvey <dharvey691 gmail com>]

I am running Evolution 3.38.3-1 on Debian Bullseye.

I have encountered a situation where the "Archive" message function (Ctrl-
Alt-A) does not work as I would expect.

My setup is:

* I have three IMAP mail accounts which seem to be working properly.

* I have a search folder called "virtual inbox" which matches any message
from the three IMAP inboxes, so I can see all inboxes in one merged list.

* I have a local archive mailbox called "archive" (under "On This Computer").
It is correctly set up via Edit / Preferences / Mail Preferences / Archive
Mail.

If I navigate to one of the three individual inboxes, and then select a
message, I can successfully archive the message via Ctrl-Alt-A.

If I navigate to one of the three individual inboxes, and then use the search
bar (Alt-C) to filter the messages, and then select a message, I can still
successfully archive the message via Ctrl-Alt-A.

If I navigate to the "virtual inbox" search folder, and then select a
message, I can successfully archive the message via Ctrl-Alt-A.

However, if I navigate to the "virtual inbox" search folder, and then use the
search bar (Alt-C) to filter the messages, and then select a message, then I
CANNOT archive the message. Ctrl-Alt-A does not do anything, and the menu
item "Archive..." on the Message menu is greyed out.

So the issue only seems to occur when (a) I am in a search folder, AND (b) I
am using the search bar.

Is this expected behaviour? I would have thought it still makes sense to
archive a message in the situation I have described. In fact, this is a very
common workflow for me (I just migrated from Thunderbird and used to do this
all the time).

many thanks
