Description
I had issues with some emails not showing up in my search results. After trying out a few things, here’s what I believe is happening: if I delete one email from a thread (e.g. a draft email that I eventually doesn’t send), then the whole thread is flagged as “in trash”. It still shows up in my inbox, but is not found when searching, unless I specify “in:Trash”. Not that the email I’m searching for has never been in the trash, it’s only another email from the same thread that was sent to trash, and seems to affect the whole thread.
Note: This is using Mailspring 1.7.8-13635bcf on Ubuntu 20.04
To Reproduce…
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to an email thread in your inbox
- Try searching this email using the search bar: should work
- Delete one of the emails in the thread, either from e.g. the gmail site, or start a reply, wait for it to be saved as draft, then delete it
- Try searching the same thread using the same email as before, it shouldn’t work anymore
- Try the same search with “in:Trash”: you should find the thread back (although the thread itself shows up in the Inbox).
Expected Behavior
I would expect the thread to still show up in the search results even if one of the emails along the thread was put into trash. Actually, I would expect it to be returned unless all emails in the thread are marked “trash” and/or “spam”.
Setup
- OS and Version: Ubuntu 20.04
- Mailspring Version: Mailspring 1.7.8-13635bcf
Additional Context
Note: could be maybe linked to Search is not working (some results not showing up in the search results, work-around was to re-build the cache), and #1605 (changed default behavior so that mails in trash don’t show up in search results)
