Comment 37 for bug 365270

Paul, I am using Evolution 2.28.3.

I am receiving my mail from a remote ISP via POP, and mail arrives on my local drive - there is no local server involved. The Preferences window does not provide any tab for incoming mail - it just shows my one POP account.

Your assertion that there is now way that email will be lost is incorrect. It happens - that is why we are frustrated. If it did not happen, why would we spend so much time chasing a myth when life outside the office beckons?

Sometimes the move to another folder works (most of the time it does) and sometimes it does not. When it does not, the problem seems to stick to the email object, as it refuses to handle the email object properly regardless of the number of tries. Typically, I end up with multiple copies of the email object in the Inbox or Trash or both, and still none in the destination folder.

Another thing that happens is that one cannot move an email object out of Junk directly into another folder - the object has to be moved to the Inbox first (this works okay) and then moved to the destination folder. As mentioned above, this will work most of the time but not for some objects. There is nothing outwardly different about the objects that are not being handled properly.

Hope this helps.
