Evolution shows 32763 unread and -41882284 total mails

Binary package hint: evolution

Looks similar to Bug #317819:

I am attached to a Exchange Mailserver. I get wrong information about unread mails. Now the title shows 32763 unread mails of -4188284 total mails. I will attach a screenshot.

Something related: When I start evolution, it currently shows 24 mails as "unread", but when I open the folder, no mail is actually unread. Using "mark all mails as read" does not help. After some time, the folder mark is "normal = no unread mails" again, until I restart evolution.

This happens since I use the TouchDown Exchange client from NitroDesk for the Android G1 phone. If I mark a mail as "unread", then it shows up as unread, but after reading it, I have one more mail which shows up as unread. According to the TouchDown developers they do this upon marking a mail as unread:

"When marking the mails as read, we simply update the mail in exchange with the unread flag. "

This is 100% reproducible.

Evolution 2.24.3 from Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64.

Does this only happens with the exchange plugin? may you try with jaunty to see if there's an improvement there? the evolution team has fixed a quite lots of bugs during the 2.26 cycle. thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer both questions, as I have several GB of mail and need my mail this week. I can test it on the weekend.
