Re: [Evolution] Hidden emails when searching in the whole account

[Walter Bamberger <walter bamberger tum de>]

Hi,

I finally got things working with the following:

I create a second account for the same inbox and, this time, with the
default settings. It turned out that it worked then. It was strange
though that my first account was not visible in the left pane now. So I
deleted that second account. After a restart, my old account was visible
again. And it works for this as well now. I also observed that there
were only 3 emails for the search term I used previously in my mailbox,
not 11 as reported by Evolution before. All three emails are visible
now.

> From this, I draw the conclusion that Evolution must have an index,
which was inconsistent with the email data. So, Evolution knew of 11
(probably already removed) emails and those were not there any more. The
creation of the new account seems to have reorganised this index, so it
is working good now.

Does someone know a better method to recreate the local index?

Thanks Patrick and Thomas for your help. Best regards,

Simon
