Re: [Evolution-hackers] Removing local junk folder?

["Øystein Gisnås" <oystein gisnas net>]

The default local account in Evolution stores mail in the mbox format located in ~/.evolution/mail/local. Each folder is stored in a separate file named the same as the folder. Metadata, summary and indices are stored in files starting with the folder name and ".". The junk folder is not a proper folder, it is not a separate file. It is only a flag in the X-Evolution message header. This is described at 
http://www.go-evolution.org/Camel.Local

In other words, open your inbox (or whatever folder the email originally was stored in) with for example mutt: mutt -f ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox
I'd advise you to stop evolution with "evolution --force-shutdown" first. From mutt you can save the problematic email (shortcut "s"), and also delete it.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Øystein

Hi,

I have a rather annoying problem:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499769

So, how do I go about deleting this mail from outside evo?


Thanks,
