junk folder indicates it contains messages, but not a single message is displayed in the folder

[kikl]

Binary package hint: evolution

I think the summary says it all. The junk email folder tells me that it contains several messages. However, when I let evolution display the content of the folder, the folder is empty.

I'm having the same problem. If I fetch new email, the Junk folder unread count goes back to zero (even though there was already nothing in it). I'm using version 2.32.1-0ubuntu1~ppa0 on amd64.

Thanks for your bug report. Is this still an issue with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal? May you please check and comment back? Thanks in advance!.

Hey Pedro. I am not running Natty yet, but perhaps someone else who is can verify that.

[kikl (kilian-klaiber)]

No, I am not having this problem at the moment on natty.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

thanks, closing the bug.

Pedro, I'm not sure if that is a good idea since I am still experiencing it in 2.32.1 under Maverick. It could not be happening for kikl for any number of reasons, such as different runtime environment, mail server configuration, and so on.

I'm using Evolution 2.32.2 with Ubuntu 11.04 and I experience the same or a very similar problem. The sidebar shows that there are unread messages in the junk folder, but if I look at the folder, it is empty. However, if I choose 'Show Deleted Messages' in the View menu, the messages in the junk folder show up. They are not marked as deleted (that is, they are not crossed out). I had the problem already in 10.10. I installed Ubuntu on a different computer, but I have imported my settings from the old one.
