Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Click on a folder in an MH-format archive attached to Evolution as
~/mail/@here

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Clicked on the folder

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Evolution got into a busy loop

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That it would open the folder instead of getting stuck

The maintainers' bug report is at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-
data-server/-/issues/605

The maintainers' repair that they asked me to ask you to backport is at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-
server/-/commit/9a212fd7f8a91332b87869ac93e6ccd93133308d

The same problem occurs in evolution 3.56.1-1 in Debian 13 Trixie.

BTW it isn't helpful that while "reportbug" is installed by default, at
least
in Debian 12 Bookworm it required uninstalled gir1 packages to run the
graphical version.
