[Evolution] Help! No email folders available!

["Grant Rutherford" <grantrutherford hotmail com>]

Hello again,

I had a problem with evolution following a power outage last week.  Thanks 
to everyone for their help so far.  I have a little more information about 
the problem now.

I can send/receive messages, but only in the time between starting evolution 
and the first time I attempt to open a folder.  When I open evolution and 
click send/receive right away, it displays the messages downloading, and 
updates the number of messages in each folder.  However, once I click on a 
folder in an attempt to open it, the send/receive doesn't work anymore.

Just in case anyone missed my email last week, following a power outage 
(which rebooted my computer and the local server) I have been unable to 
access my mail folders in evolution.  When opened in a new window they only 
write (No Folder Displayed) on a gray background.  The non-mail folders 
(contacts, calendar, tasks) work fine.

Does this information help anyone?

Thanks,
Grant
