Well, one would think that. It might have something to do with the fact
that I'm still using 1.3.x. The last before 1.4. And why not upgrade?
Well, after that every evo seem to have some little bug that would be an
annoyance. And 1.3.x has worked for me.

No, can say this is not the case.
Everytime I'v had a problem, it has been due to lack of diskspace. Always
had less than the mbox size. Can reproduce by filling the partition to
have less diskspace than the mbox size.

Always helps to rm the summary. But why does evo recreate the corrupted
summary on exit?
