Re: [Evolution] Evo having trouble closing

[Dinbandhu <dinbandhu sprynet com>]

Here is an update on my problem: I think it may be related with the
trash folder. Because I noticed that the same 20 or so letters which I
keep deleting from my draft folder, end up back in my draft folder the
next time I open Evo. 

And also, despite the fact that the trash is set to empty itself
whenever Evo gets closed, now when I open Evo the trash is still full. I
see that it has 213 letters in it dating back to April 16, and I have
closed Evo innumerable times since then. So the trash is unable to empty
itself on closing.

I tried clicking on "empty trash" now while Evo is open, and that also
it was unable to do. It gave rise to the same clicking sounds that
happen whenever I try to close the application, and ultimately yielded
the following error message:

--------------
"Error while Expunging folder.

Error storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder
mismatch, even after a sync"
--------------

So does it sound like the trash folder has gone bad? What do I have to
do to fix the situation?
