Bug Description

Hello,

I loose two important messages today by dragging them from the inbox of my pop account to the "Important" folder on an IMAP account, in order to save them.

The messages actually disappeared, there were not even in the trash.

I tried with a test message to do the same using the context menu and "move to a folder": same result.

I think it's a critical issue since it can lead to the loss of important data!!

Thank you

Jim

What version of Ubuntu is this on? I think this may be a dupe of Bug #64317

I use edgy. I have just checked again and the problem is still around. All mails moved from the local inbox (one by one) to the imap inbox just disappeared. However, moving mail from imap to local works just fine.

I think it's not exactly the same problem as #64317.

Thank you for tackling this issue, tell me if you need more information.

Jim.

Marking unconfirmed, somebody having the problem should probably forward it upstream

For me on Feisty it's still an issue, I often can't move a mail from a local folder to an imap one, the mail simply disappear. I have just tried with two mails, one was transfered and the other disappeared... Tell me if you want me to do more testing, I'll try with Gusty asap.
