Comment 48 for bug 220014

I am using a POP account. This happened during migration where we had to download all 7500 messages in the account and then sort messages in different folders (SPAM etc.)

More specifically, Evolution downloaded all 7500 messages. Then I created and ran a filter to move ****SPAM**** messages (tagged by Spamassassin) to another folder. When this operation finished (I didn't tamper with it in the meantime) messages in Inbox were messed up. I could still see subjects with ****SPAM**** in the inbox, though the actual messages where from different emails.

However, the one described above was the second time we did this. The first time round my colleague tells me she didn't apply any filters, she just performed a search for ****SPAM**** and did a "massive" delete of these messages, resulting in a messed up inbox. So I'm not sure this happens only when filters are applied (as is mentioned in previous comments).

Finally, I tried the move-and-move-back trick and it worked. When I moved all messages from the inbox to another folder they were fine. Then I moved back and they remained fine.

Regarding the command line I'm not sure I can reproduce this cos now the messages in question have been deleted from the server. I'll let you know if I can reproduce with another account. Also, regarding reopening the upstream bug, not sure how to do it? Do I have to sign up in Bugzilla?
