My message list has become corrupt with lots of missing messages, as
well as missing message status (i.e., all messages became unread).
This happened while I had evolution open, after I had been using it
successfully for weeks.
My efforts to fix the problem by restarting evo or deleting various
index files have not worked. I filed a bug
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707235), but my version of
evolution is too old (3.4.4). This is with a remote IMAP mailbox, one
with subfolders. It's the top level that's giving me problems.
Since this is the current version in Debian it is awkward for me to
upgrade. I'm hoping someone here can advise me at least what I need
to do to purge my current setup.
I've tried increasingly extensive deletions, based on a web search,
but they haven't helped.
Here are some more details that might be helpful:
ross tempserver:~/.local/share/evolution/mail/13755xxxxx 1xxx1 24 tempserver$
ls -l
total 1120
-rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 1129472 Sep 1 14:45 folders.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 13 Sep 1 14:45 INBOX.cmeta
-rw------- 1 ross ross 1024 Sep 1 09:21 INBOX.ibex.index
-rw------- 1 ross ross 8 Sep 1 14:45 INBOX.ibex.index.data
First I deleted everything but folders.db. This does cause some stuff to be regenerated, but
it was still corrupt.
I shutdown again and deleted folders.db as well as
~/.cache/evolution/mail/13755uuuu 1xxx1 21 tempserver/folders.db
That produced a much more extensive download, but the result was still
corrupt.
The remote mailbox has about 19,000 messages.
To figure out what files evolution was using I tried lsof on the evo
process (though maybe there are auxiliary ones?). Here are some
highlights:
