I tried this and it didn't work for me on my FreeBSD system.  What I
ended up doing after reading someone's post about using Mozilla's mail
client was to set up Balsa and have the balsa client delete my recent
messages from the mail server at my isp.  then i deleted my ~/evolution
directory and restored it from backup from yesterday.  Everything is
back up and running just fine now.

Thanks,
