Re: [Evolution] "Generating message list" won't go away -- possible database corruption

Problem affected all accountants (3 POP, 1 IMAP).  Some subfolders under 
InBox have 100s of e-mails.  I left evolution running while I monitored 
with webmail to see if my clients were contacting me.  Suggestion to 
rename mail subfolder to mail.old and restart evolution got things 
working correctly.  However, I need to know how to get mail back from 
mail.old.
