[Cooker] Evolution weirdness

[Robert Fox]

Since last updates on Cooker - my Evolution is doing strange things -
aside from the fact that the spam filtering is still crashing the
program (filed a bug already and turned off for now) - but when retrieve
new mail, the mail count on the folders doesn't show (although the mail
is there) and when I remove junk manually, I get negative number counts
(see attachment)

I am using evolution-2.23.5-1mdv2009.0

Thx,
R.Fox

That's a known problem with the new e-d-s, please read the announcement:

Mine's completely broken, and has been since around the time I got your
mail :).

I run a local mailserver, retrieving all my mail from various accounts
and serving it out via IMAP using courier. When I launch Evolution, it
dies with a segfault a few seconds later, if the mailserver is up. If
the mailserver is down it will launch but obviously can't do anything
useful.

I'm writing this with claws...

I uploaded a new evolution-data-server with an upstream patch fixing
the crash I got on startup

Just a warning that even if it starts up, it still is very buggy and
there is potential data loss: on my IMAP account, it marked all mails as
read in one folder without any reason.
