If multiple messages are 'Expunged' from the trash folder the above is written to syslog for each message.

This happens when going to the Trash folder, right click and select 'Empty Trash'. However, if I stay in the folder the messages were deleted from and use 'Ctrl-e' to expunge the folder this doesn't happen.

What I expect to happen is that lines like the above don't get written to syslog. I've attached the output of CAMEL_DEBUG=mail:io evolution if it's any help.

Note: When saving this bug report it insisted that it was for Update Manager even though when I started writing it I selected 'Evolution' and the package. I had to go back in manually and change it back to evolution.

[Andre Klapper (a9016009)]

This has been fixed in version 3.30.1: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/108

Ubuntu packagers are free to backport as no further 3.28 releases are planned in GNOME.

Thanks Andre for now I'll just do the work around which is to expunge, CTRL-E, within the folder I've deleted the messages from instead of doing it from the trash folder.
