I use Evolution 3.46.4-2 on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) and since years I have now carried the same problem through Debian versions: When I delete one or more emails from the list in my normal inbox they get crossed out but more often than not stay in the inbox anyway. When I want to close Evolution later I get the warning that the program doesn't react and that I could force-close it anyway. (At this point I can still use Evolution normally. Just deleting emails doesn't work.) If I wait nothing ever happens (most of the time) and Evolution just stays open until I force it to terminate or if I shut down the whole system.
Wen I open-up Evolution later again (most of the time) the crossed out Emails are still in there but not even crossed-out any more. They are just normal emails in the inbox again. In addition I frequently get older new emails (which weren't shown before) listed when re-opening Evolution. Over all it is somewhat unsettling to have such an unpredictable inbox.
For each Debian stable release I create a backup, install the new system and import my Evolution backup.
I didn't yet try to not import my Evolution backup because I want access to my old emails. I suspect there is some issue in the handed down Evolution backup causing this behaviour. I don't use any subfolders but I collect emails from several addresses in my inbox. I also use GPG.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I might just import the emails and contacts ignoring everything else so that I can ensure not importing anything broken from an older version of Evolution? Or do you recommend using imap instead? I did go for pop3 for convenience because I want everything in one mailbox and this is the default behaviour with pop3. I probably would be able to achieve the same result when using imap and configuring Evolution accordingly.
