Comment 2 for bug 251031

After being bit by this bug myself, I decided to search for the cause.

In Subversion commit 9125 of evolution-data-server, the behaviour of the function camel_folder_summary_array (which is called by the function camel_folder_get_summary) has changed.

Instead of a GPtrArray containing CamelMessageInfo pointers, the function now returns a GPtrArray containing uid's (char*). This can be seen in detail at http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server/trunk/camel/camel-folder-summary.c?view=diff&r1=9124&r2=9125 (search for 'camel_folder_summary_array').

I've created a patch which should solve this problem, but as mail-notification requires a newer version of gob2 (which isn't released yet) I can't test out this patch, so I don't know exactly if this really solves the problem.

Hopefully this will be enough information for Jean-Yves Lefort to really solve this problem.
