Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution-mapi
Evolution 2.28.1 (Ubuntu 9.10)
I entered CTRL-E (Expunge) by accident in my Exchange Inbox folder: I had 3 years' worth of interesting email there. I had just one message selected.
Evolution preceded to delete every single email in my Inbox on the server, without any warning. These emails are completely gone (examining my account with both Outlook and the web-based client confirms it), not moved to the Deleted folder or anything. They're gone. The only possibility of recovery is to go to a backup of the Exchange server.
Apparently, this bug was reported over seven months ago to Gnome: https:/
Personally given the likelihood of massive data loss, I think Ubuntu should withdraw this package from the repository until this bug is fixed (and given this it's probably prudent to examine the other bugs to be sure there aren't more like this one).
