Strange behaviour

Rate this Message:
Just installed 2.28,1 and Ubuntu 9.10 - upgrades from 9.04.
I am panicked - seeing something I have *never* seen in an email program, Have been getting strange behaviour that is interpreting mouse clicks as move instructions - and it's been moving stuff around without being asked to. Including entire folders. The end point here, and what has me really spooked, is that it managed to completely hide the main Inbox (after putting it elsewhere, and my putting it back, except that it didn't put it at the top level but placed it under the empty Inbox )- but here's the bizarre aspect - You know how the folder list puts a number in bold next to the folder name indicating unread messages? This Inbox-under-Inbox folder is displaying 23 unread messages, but the folder is empty. I have looked at every other folder and subfolder to try to find where the several hundred accumulated inbox messages have gone. No luck. But this bit of showing the unread number by the folder, but with nothing in the folder, has me terrified. And I ain't easily terrified - I've been using email for almost 30 years. I have a lot of messages in that missing folder that I really cannot afford to lose, some of which came in since my weekly backup. Anything before last Thursday I can restore without much difficulty, but I'm worried about those since Thursday. Any ideas?

Well, I hesitated upgrading from jaunty to karmic. Looks like it is
better to wait a few months before upgrading!! Better try a vmware image before upgrading the whole box!! I am running 2.28.2 here on jaunty and it is running just nicely!

Note that Reply-To-list only ever works if the message you're replying to has the appropiate List-* headers, which not all of them do. For example if someone uses Reply-To-All on one of your list messages you'll be the direct recipient and there won't be any list headers in your copy. If everyone were consistent in using Reply-To-List for list messages, this wouldn't happen. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |
