This is exactly the same reason I moved this folder, I wanted to try it get it to appear above the other folders... * Blake On Tue, 2001-10-09 at 20:15, Preston de Guise wrote:
Quoting shadoi <shadoi soulmachine com>:If you move a folder that is in the the top-level inbox into the top-level inbox (in other words, it's not going to move anywhere) it will delete anything and everything in itself. Presumably because it thinks it is overwriting itself.Coincidentally, I managed to do this myself last night. For me, what happened was that evolution seems to have from a recent build started to do some form of "smart sorting" on the mailboxes. I.e., I have some "special" mailboxes within various folders/subfolders that start with a "*" so that in a normal sort, they'll appear first. Evolution seemed to honour that up until around Beta 4. Last night I figured I'd try to move one of the resorted mailboxes. I.e., configuration was: + Local Folders + Shouldn't be first folder 1 + Shouldn't be first folder 2 - * Should be first folder 1 So I grabbed the folder that should be first and dragged it to "Local Folders". I had sort of hoped that this might just force a manual repositioning of the folder. Instead, it did as Blake mentioned, delete the folder and all its contents. Luckily I had a backup and only lost 3 messages :) I'd agree this is a bug. Cheers, -Preston de Guise. -- Oops.
