Evolution doesn't show inboxes after update

Hello,

my Evolution hides the inboxes for 3 of my 5 configured imap accounts after upgrading. These are the related lines from /var/log/pacman.log:

[2014-06-04 17:36] [PACMAN] upgraded evolution-data-server (3.12.1-2 -> 3.12.2-1)
[2014-06-04 17:37] [PACMAN] upgraded evolution (3.12.1-1 -> 3.12.2-1)

Subfolders and even my 2 other inboxes are working fine. The filter is set to "all messages" and I have also tried to toggle the offline mode on and off.

Also strange: when I issue a search that does not yield any results, I get a message that no messages were found and that I should try to clear my filters.
When I open a folder with no content I also get a warning - but for this 3 inboxes I really just get a blank list view (the headers are shown).

The only thing that these 3 inboxes have in common are that a GPG key is assigned, but I don't see any difference when I remove it from the configuration (or even recreate the mail account).

I also tried to delete $HOME/.cache/evolution - no difference. When I open evolution from the command line I don't get any output, so nothing obvious here.

Maybe someone had the same problem and solved it already?

Greetings and thanks in advance,
Phil

Re: Evolution doesn't show inboxes after update

Hey,

I have the same Problem since the Update. With upgrading Evolution something might gone wrong with our profile. I've deleted all the settings and restored a freshly created backup. The Problem remains the same.

You can work around by going into that "empty" inbox, switch search to all accounts and search something. After some results are showing, you delete your search and Evolution will display your inbox. It happens to me everytime I start it and sometimes when switching back from an another account.

After the upgrade I have several segfaults which I cant exactly reproduce, When it does, the window seems to have a small lag and gets killed. This is not only when switching windows within Evolution (or using the editor), it also happens when switching onto it from a another workspace.

Greetings.

Hi,

thank you for the workaround, that helps me until a new update is released (if there will be an update on this).  Do you also use GnuPG for your broken inboxes?

No, just plain IMAP. I have several accounts, but the problem exists on only one of them. Annoyingly on my main account.

The update seems to have fixed it. No problems so far.

Yeah, the update has really fixed this bug! But somehow my evolution has crashed 2 times today, so there seems to be a little stability problem so far

Can you describe it a litte further? I haven't done much since the update, but today I read some RSS feeds, several mails and wrote 2. No stability issues, or a performance hit. It is definitely faster than before the update. My hardware is not that performant (Atom 330, tigervnc X-Server, 2GiB RAM), so I know.

Re: Evolution doesn't show inboxes after update

Hey, I think those crashes were by random, since I haven't experienced more issues since the update

Re: Evolution doesn't show inboxes after update

Then we should mark the thread as solved. I've also had no issues since the update.
