Evolution Bug

Evolution is a great email client and PIM for the Linux platform - and may one day be a viable alternative to Outlook in Microsoft Office. But not now.

There is a bug in Evolution which causes all deleted items to disappear when expunging junk - and even worse, the junk in the junk folder stays there.

I have had my bacon saved many times by searching for mail in my deleted items folder, and the last thing in the world I wanted was for all my deleted mail to vanish. Checking on the web it seems that this bug has been known about for over 2 years. Nothing has been done about it and that is why Evolution can't compete with Outlook for business use.

Get it sorted, and push Linux forward.
