I had this problem a couple of days ago. I had the Evolution GUI open when the mails were deleted. I was able to see each and every mail being deleted and it looked as if someone was deleting them for me. I freaked out. After searching the web for sometime I was able to find this thread. Removing the .evolution/exchange and .evolution/mail/exchange resolved the problem. I also noticed the same scenario as what Paul experienced before all my mails were deleted. Some of my mails during a period of time were missing. To be specific, mails from a period in between my most recent and the oldest mail in my Exchange server were missing. The period was something like a year. Noticing that problem I wanted to get the remaining mails using the ''Download messages for offline'' option (Menu
File > Download message for offline). This led me to the known bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474118. A few days after that I hit this current problem. Info about my computer Distro - Fedora 8 Kernel - 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 GNOME - 2.20.2 Evolution - 2.12.2 I am not too sure about it but I guess at one point before all my mails in my Inbox were deleted I deleted a single mail on my Exchange Server using Evolution. This may or may not have triggered it. To give you some more background, I upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 (which had Evolution 2.12.2) retaining all my setting in my home folder including the mail settings. I did the same from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 7 and did not see that problem at all. -- Best Regards, Aravind http://www.aravind.name
