Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
hi there,
a really strange bug occured to me for the very first time.
what is was doing: using evolution to fetch email via pop3
what happened: evolution displayed all fetched email in the inbox, but: the email content shown, both in preview and full view does not match with the "from", "subject", "date" information shown in the respective inbox columns. to make sure, i switched the full view to include headers which confirmed the problem.
i'm sorting my inbox by newest email first.
the mismatch occurs in the manner, that the newest mail received has correct match, but the content of this newest mail is also the content of the second newest, which already has different sender/
example: newest email sender/subject is gmx spam report, 2nd newest email sender/subject is ubuntuforums post notification, 3rd newest email sender/subject is some ebay info. now the actual email contents are: newest email gmx spam report, 2nd newest gmx spam report, 3rd newest ubuntuforums post notification, and so on.
one guess i have is that, before fetching mail today, i had one mail in my inbox which was still marked as unread. this email has not been fetched twice, but it's exactly this email's sender/subject/date that now occurs twice for two email with different content - one of the original content, and one with "shifted" content.
Thank you for reporting this bug, however more information is required for us to assist you. Please include the version of ubuntu you are running "lsb_release -a" as well as the version of evolution you are using "dpkg -l evolution". This will help us properly assign and confirm the bug.
