[Evolution] Re-fetching or removing empty IMAP message or zero-length message files

[Wayne Sierke <ws au dyndns ws>]

Lately I've had a number of instances where evolution has crashed or
hung  apparently while retrieving a new IMAP message. As a result upon
restarting evolution I find an 'empty' message (message source shows
just the initial headers) and I find a zero-length file in
~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders/INBOX/[subfolders...].

I haven't found a way to either force evolution to re-fetch the message
or clear out the empty message file. Is there any such facility, or do I
have to continue removing these files manually?


Thanks,

Wayne
