I got some help on breaking up this file into 20mg chucks. I found the email that caused this problem and 
erased those lines. I did this in the sent and inbox files. After putting the files back together Evolution 
crashes repeatedly. 

Since this is really costing me time, I would like to know, if I move the entire evoltion folder to another 
location and then start evolution, will it start likes its brand new again? Then I could import everything 
except the inbox and sent files.
