The only thing I know about this isthat "it sometimes happens", but whenever I noticed it here and triedto investigate, which is months or even years ago, it magicallydisappeared and I didn't move any further. To my question:I see from the path that it's an On This Computer folder (as shown inEvolution's UI). How is that directory populated? Is it anything like"received by POP, then moved to the appropriate folder with filters ormanually", or "moved manually from another account", or "populated by a3rd-party software not managed by Evolution itself", or...? Even ifit's the last option it should not matter (in some cases I'd say"touching internal Evolution files => expect anything", but not thistime), because the Maildir structure should adapt appropriately. It canbe that some part of the provider incorrectly constructs the path andcauses this error. It may fix on its own when the provider rescans thedirectory, which is usually done the first time the folder is enteredin the GUI. The setup is simple: I run a single instance of Evolution and no other email clients on any device. Evolution has 4 active accounts:
The message in question arrived from imap.mail.att.net and was transferred by a filter to a Local folder. I was able to display the message (as I wrote in my original message); after about 5 minutes it disappeared; then after about half an hour it reappeared. The problem happens infrequently, say about once a month, and typically lasts a while, anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple of hours. |
