Re: [Evolution] Error while 'Expunging folder' -- Problem

No, most of my mboxes are also over 100 meg. some are over a gig.

the error means that we are trying to use an fd that has been closed or
something already. nothing that can be worked around without modifying
source code... yet I don't see where the problem could be.
