Comment 5 for bug 280325

There are two issues here, the 2008-10-08 behavior (cannot select any folders), and the 2008-10-09 behavior (cannot select trash).

-----

Unable to confim the 2008-10-08 behavior.
Is this reproducible?
If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
This will help us to find and resolve the problem. If it's not reproducible, and no further information is available, we will be unable to solve the problem.

Confirming the 2008-10-09 behavior on Evolution 2.22.3.1, Xubuntu 8.04.1.

To reproduce the 2008-10-09 behavior:
1) Evolution Mail -> Message -> Create Rule -> Click Here To Select A Folder
2) Junk and Trash cannot be selected. All other folders and mailboxes can be selected.

However, it's not really a bug.
Evolution's Junk and Trash are not real folders, they are actually Search Folders (vFolders) so you can't really move files in or out of them (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061 for a long discussion about it). It makes sense that in a "Move to folder" dialog, only real folders would be selectable.

Instead of the option 'Move To Folder', you can select the options 'Delete' or 'Set Status' -> Junk or 'Set Status' -> Deleted

If you feel that Gnome should revisit this issue as a usability bug, please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org, and put a link to it here in this Launchpad bug report.

Marking 'Incomplete' - awaiting additional info, if any, on the 2008-10-8 behavior
