Re: [Evolution] zombie mail account won't give up trying to get data from deleted mailbox

[Dan Kortschak <dan kortschak io>]

I have found the reference to the UID. It appears to be in
.config/evolution/mail/state.ini. What is the best way to remove this?

Presumably this can be hand edited, but probably evolution and possibly
other things should not be running while that happens. Is there a safer
way?

thanks
