Re: [Evolution] Lost Mail

[Jeff Cai <Jeff Cai Sun COM>]

you can try to reconfigure you e-mail account by removing your
configuration first. Of course, you mail will not lost because they are
still under you $HOME/.evolution directory.
You can run command  gconftool-2 --recursive-reset "/apps/evolution"
to remove account configuration. and then restart evolution, this time
it asks you to reconfigure a new account.

You can try it.
