Re: [Evolution] Suddenly mail disappear

[Paul Hands <phands cadence com>]

George,

I thought that the .ibex files are only for containing information about
the mailboxes, not the mailbox itself.  I think the Mailbox is called
mbox, and should be in the same directory (Inbox?) as the .ibex file,
and should have a non-zero size.   I also believe that it is OK to
delete the .ibex file, but I would play safe and move it somewhere
else.  Then, restart evolution and see if your Inbox comes back.

Let us know........

Never had any problems with Evolution - like the app. very much.

Yesterday I had a clean shut-down (with apprx. 1300 messages in the
inbox). Restarting later to download new mail and print out some new
orders for my business. However, mailbox was completely empty -:) Other
folders seems OK, all relevant messages still in the "sent" folder. 

Tried "show hidden messages" but to no avail.

In the /local/inbox folder there is the mbox.ibex file. It is huge - 1,5
GB (yes GB). Guess I find my missing mail there ?

How can I get my important mail back ? 

Thanks for any tip.

Georg
