There has been some funny business with the Search Folders and/or IMAP
account handling in Evolution for the last couple of weeks in Unstable.

A specific instance I am seeing right now is attached.  I have no unread
messages in either of the 2 IMAP mailboxes that I use, yet Search
Folders shows 2 Unmatched.  I am not sure exactly what sequence of
events started this, but it has happened before.

I find that if I quit Evolution and restart, Unmatched goes back to
nothing.

Further tests on the screenshotted scenario:  without exiting, I hit
Send/Receive and there are 4 more messages waiting, none of which is
Unmatched in reality.  Unmatched goes from 2 to 4, and the counters for
the matched folders increase as expected.

With no messages waiting, hit Send/Receive more and Unmatched stays at
4.  A message comes in that is legimitely Unmatched, and Unmatched drops
back to 1, and after that works normally.

Hope this helps somebody.  This behavior is new within the last few
weeks of tracking Unstable daily.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what's going on with this bug, but after several months of
"stable" (unpredictable, but in a predictable way) behavior, suddenly
Search Folders pretty much stopped working at all today.

Now about half the time I start Evolution my search folders show nothing
at all (no unread messages) even though all my search folders are set to
"All local and active remote folders" and there is unread mail in one or
more remote folders.  And sometimes while I am using Evolution if I read
all my mail, then get new mail, the Search Folders still show no unread
messages.

Sometimes quitting and restarting Evolution causes the unread messages
to show up in the Search Folders.  Sometimes, not.

The only package update that corresponds with this change in behavior is
an update to evolution-data-server but I don't think e-d-s has anything
to do with Search Folders (does it?) so I'm leaving this bug against
Evolution.

Thanks,
