Re: [Evolution] recieve mail process

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

there's a message on evolution ximian com with the subject "This message
crashes Evo" that had an invalid binary email address.

Remove this mesage from ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail

Since Evolution was not able to fully import your local spool, it left a
copy in ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail so that the next check could
continue and thus not lose mail.

Anyways, this bug has already been fixed in CVS so there should soon be
another release containing a fix.
