Re: [Evolution] Help needed with Evolution e-mail

[John Lauterbach <lauterba bellsouth net>]

Hello Jack,

I use evolution 3.18.2 under Ubuntu 15.10.

du -sh responded with "9.8G"

du -ah | more responded with what appeared to be a very complete list of things in evolution, but not sure what it all meant.

Perhaps the experts can give you more information on your problem.

John

I just need to know how to retrieve messages lost in one of my folders.

My version is 3.12.11 OpenSuSE

I do not have the knowledge internals.

Here is a listing of the files


ls -l  ~/.local/share/evolution/mail

The 2.5 GiG of
/home/jdenman/.local/share/evolution/mail/1317273380 15652 21 rigel

is not listed in any folder. The man messages are in

3.5G    /home/jdenman/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
and are OK.

How do I get the rigel messages merged into the local folder. Any help
in understanding the problem and it solutions would be greatly
appreciated.
