Some people here are still using 1.4.6 and I notice that a few have large pop account cache directories: ~/evolution/mail/pop/whoever wherever com/cache

What's the safest way to purge these caches? Is it necessary to shut evolution down first? I'm thinking of doing something like: find $dir -atime +1 ... so it doesn't interfere with current operations even if evolution is running. Is that safe? (I thought this question might have been asked before but all I could find in the archives was that these caches should be purged automatically.)
Maybe an at-startup thread that goes thru the cache, deleting cached emails that are, say, 7 days old would be useful. After the first time, it should be pretty fast. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
