it is impossible to create a filter based on address, ecause it is impossible to select a folder to move filtered messages to

thanks for the report, could you take an screenshot of that dialog showing the folders? thanks.

I attach the screenshot. Today I was able to select some folders from the
dialog on the left, but trash (śmietnik) remained unavailable. To me it
looks like an X/evolution problem. I did have similar problems while using
older video drivers in windows (some Polish characters were unavailable).
It's a fujitsu-siemens scenic box with i845G chip.

There are two issues here, the 2008-10-08 behavior (cannot select any folders), and the 2008-10-09 behavior (cannot select trash).

-----

Unable to confim the 2008-10-08 behavior.
Is this reproducible?
If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
This will help us to find and resolve the problem. If it's not reproducible, and no further information is available, we will be unable to solve the problem.

-----

Confirming the 2008-10-09 behavior on Evolution 2.22.3.1, Xubuntu 8.04.1.

To reproduce the 2008-10-09 behavior:
1) Evolution Mail -> Message -> Create Rule -> Click Here To Select A Folder
2) Junk and Trash cannot be selected. All other folders and mailboxes can be selected.

However, it's not really a bug.
Evolution's Junk and Trash are not real folders, they are actually Search Folders (vFolders) so you can't really move files in or out of them (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206061 for a long discussion about it). It makes sense that in a "Move to folder" dialog, only real folders would be selectable.

Instead of the option 'Move To Folder', you can select the options 'Delete' or 'Set Status' -> Junk or 'Set Status' -> Deleted

If you feel that Gnome should revisit this issue as a usability bug, please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org, and put a link to it here in this Launchpad bug report.

-----

Marking 'Incomplete' - awaiting additional info, if any, on the 2008-10-8 behavior

could you verify if the issue is specific to the special entries or not?

the bug is not clear since the comments seem to describe other issues, could you try if what you described in the summary is specific to the special directories? other issues should be described in other bugs rather

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

This "bug" is still present. The answer in #5 that it's not a bug is understandable, but then the Thrash and Junk folders really shouldn't be visible in Move To Folder options since you cannot select or use them anyway.

This bug was fixed in the package evolution - 2.32.0-0ubuntu1
