Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Following error is reported in /var/log/messages:

evolution: segfault at 8 ip 00007f7f73499290 sp 0000000043bffdc0 error 4 in libcamelimap.so

Everything seems to be working fine, however it keeps reporting above error. I am using IMAP to retrieve emails from remote MS exchange server v. 2007.

Ubuntu version: 8.10
Evolution version: 2.24.1.1
Kernel version: 2.6.27

I'm not the original reporter, but I'm encountering a similar issue:

When trying to empty evolution-trash, evolution segfaults everytime and in syslog something like this is written:

segfault at 4 ip b48ea98b sp b5908060 error 4 in libcamelimap.so[b48e0000+22000]

I'm running up-to-date intrepid with proposed-repro enabled (Evo 2.24.1.1).

Steps to reproduce:
Try to empty trash (I'm using evo with pop3 and imap, no exchange).

Here's a backtrace. Seems to affect imap-accounts only.

Seems like something is wrong with the commit to camel/providers/imap/camel-imap-folder.c which was meant to resolve gnome-bug #558883. After reverting the mentioned file to revision 9736 in the stable gnome-2-24-branch and recompiling e-d-s the thrashcan is emptied and evolution does no longer crash. Any idea what went wrong there?
