I have evo 2.26.1.1 installed so there is a database file present. I'll
try moving away folders.db when back home. If I remove the whole
sub-directory under <account-name> will everything be restored? A lot of
folders exist in the folders directory: INBOX, Calendar, Drafts, Deleted
Items, etc?? If removing files, I assume only the files under INBOX can
be removed, not the other ones.
