Re: [Evolution] Too many user defined flags

[Paulo Costa <paulo costafamily org>]

Hello Milan,

I realize this has been a month since you replied to my "Too many user
defined flags" message, but I did do a number of attempts to fix and
have been offline for a couple of weeks.

Anyways, the error persists and I did the debugging you requested.
It does not occur on a specific folder but on a specific account, which
is an IMAP account with the provider 1and1. The account is here
identified as  "PC-1and1"

Per your suggestion, I ran evolution as:

   $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution

After opening Evolution and simply waiting for it to do the initial
startup I see this at the GUI message board:

   Error wile Storing changes in folder "PC-1and1:INBOX".
   Error syncing changes: too many user defined flags

Then, on terminal the last lines (which seem related to the message)
are:

   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00314 OK IDLE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00340 NOOP'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00340 OK NOOP completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00341 UID STORE 942209 -FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00341 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00342 UID STORE

   5:951057,951107,951133:951143,951145:951146 +FLAGS.SILENT (\SEEN)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00342 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00343 UID STORE 951033 +FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00343 NO [LIMIT] too many user defined flags'
   [imapx:A] I/O: '* OK Still here'

The folder selected (i.e. the one to which the startup process defaults
to) is not an actual folder, but a search folder that captures messages
from all the inboxes. I have a total of 10 accounts in my evolution
setup. 6 are IMAP accounts, 2 are gmail accounts and 2 are O365
corporate accounts.

After the startup is done I then try to move a few evolution mail list
messages to a folder in the same account, named "Evolution" - which is
where I save all the messages from our mail list. Here is what I get in
the GUI message board:

   Error while Moving messages into folder Boletins/Evolution.
   Error syncing changes: too many user defined flags

And here is the sequence that happens in terminal:
   
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00365 IDLE'
   [imapx:A] I/O: '+ idling'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00366 UID STORE 942209 -FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: '* 2986 EXISTS
   * 10 RECENT
   A00366 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00367 UID STORE
   950698:950699,950977,950989,950994,951002,951049:951050,951053:95105
   7,951062,951107,951133:951143,951145:951146 +FLAGS.SILENT (\SEEN)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00367 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00368 UID STORE 951033 +FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00368 NO [LIMIT] too many user defined flags'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00369 NOOP'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00369 OK NOOP completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00370 UID STORE 942209 -FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00370 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00371 UID STORE
   950698:950699,950977,950989,950994,951002,951049:951050,951053:95105
   7,951062,951107,951133:951143,951145:951146 +FLAGS.SILENT (\SEEN)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00371 OK UID STORE completed'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00372 UID STORE 951033 +FLAGS.SILENT (JUNK)'
   [imapx:A] I/O: 'A00372 NO [LIMIT] too many user defined flags'

I did right-click on the folders ("PC-1and1:INBOX" and "PC-
1and1:Boletins/Evolution") and checked the labels. The INBOX has 13
labels, all with complete pairs "Server Tab / Label", while the
Evolution folder had 9 labels, but only 3 were complete pairs. the
other 6 only had the server tag, which I list here

Server Tab - Label
$Junk  -
$NotJunk  -
Business  -  Business
conferences - Conferences
_evolution - 
evolution  -
evolution_list - evolution_list
evolutionlist
NonJunk

I did not setup the server tags and the options "Add, Edit, Remove" in
the GUI appear grayed out to me so I cannot edit them.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks, 
Paulo
