While
this works on single emails - I had 100s of mail lost - moving them
all
to a temporary folder didn't bring them all back to evolution. Only
some.
I use this script to restore them. It works consistently, but the bug
makes evo-exchange not suitable for deployment to non-technical users.
#!/bin/bash
echo "Completely shutting down Evolution..."
evolution --force-shutdown
echo "Deleting indexes..."
rm -rf ~/.evolution/exchange/
rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/exchange/
echo "It is now safe to restart Evolution"
# evolution &
Uncomment the last line if you want debug feedback when evo restarts.
Leave it commented and run it from a menu/do/alt+f2 if you don't want
constant debug info in your terminal.
When evo restarts, it will rebuild the indexes which can take some time.
This is a useful idea. Maybe worth trying.
By the way, I abandoned evolution for exchange email a few months back,
due to this problem. I only went back to it a week ago because of a
temporary
technical problem with our smtp server. It seemed to work fine, until
yesterday when my email started to disappear again. But I don't think
anything
changed- no knew fedora evo dist or anything...
