Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: Evolution
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.14.0 2.4.x
Gnome-Distributor: Debian
Synopsis: message moved from one imap server to another vanish under
certain circumstances
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.4.x
Description:
Description of Problem:

I archive my e-mails on an imap server that is different from the one I
use as my main mailbox. About once a week, I move within evolution my
mail over to the other imap server. Mostly this works well and as
expected. However, if I move mail from the main mailbox to the archive
before I have actually used this archive account after starting
evolution up, evolution appears to move  the messages -- the bottom
status lines says it is moving them and the message becomes deleted in
the source mailbox --  but they do not appear in the other mailbox'x
folder. 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start a fresh evolution session with (at least) two different  imap
accounts. 
2. Read messages in one imap account by selecting a folder. 
3. Right click on the mouse in the message list and select "Move to
Folder"
4. Choose a folder in the other mail account, press "OK"
 

Actual Results:

Message vanishes with not trace. (I have even looked at the folder
where it should appear, but can find no trace.)


Expected Results:

The message vanishes.

How often does this happen?

Every time I move messages in the way described (which now only
happens by mistake).
