Re: [Evolution] troublesome cache





Looks like it may have fixed its self

The last start up wanted permission to use maildir instead of mbox
format
the offending directory in cache is now 
richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~/.cache/evolution/mail$ ls
83febb968dd172d285752d793ebe81d81ef79a59  trash

Only time will tell

Last attempt was 
sudo apt purge evolution*
evolution --force-shutdown
rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/evolution
rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution
rm -rf ~/.config/evolution
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/
gconftool not installed as my DM is cinnamon

check all hidden evol files have gone
then re-istalled evo
richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~$ ls -s .cache/evolution/mail
total 12

Its back !!!!!!!!!!
now getting orange warning flashes
Error while storing inbox
Cannot open maildir directory path:
/home/richard/.local/share/evolution/mail/local: No such file or
directory

IF I've uninstalled evo removed all I can find , re-installed, gone
through the config wizard to set a user, why is it not creating a new
install. If it was a fresh install it would create the file in
.local.

I  just checked and /home/richard/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
exist, so it cant even find what its made !!!!!!

richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~$ ls -la
.local/share/evolution/mail/local/
total 12
drwx------ 2 richard richard 4096 Feb  5 17:37 .
drwx------ 3 richard richard 4096 Feb  5 17:01 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 richard richard   28 Feb  5 17:37 ..cmeta

All I want is a fresh clean install with nothing added

I tried asking on the Linux mint forum and just getting called a liar
as they think it doesn't happen.

This is very frustrating

Typically I keep getting warnings it can find locations like
Archive/inbox2012., 
Big orange bar across the top of the mail listing
thats when I change folder back to the inbox, I'm using IMAP
Its looking for folders that are no longer in the folder tree on
the
IMAP server, because they are listed in that offending cache mail
file
which is old and way out of date

A previous reply I wrote seems to have got lost ...

The cache is not important, it's a red herring. Account
configuration
is NOT stored in the cache. Account configuration is not disposable
information.

Andre has pointed you to where the account data is stored. Before
you
try and delete things, make sure all of the Evolution programs are
shutdown, including the background data factories. Easiest way is
to
delete the account(s) from within Evolution, then reboot and login
on
the console (i.e. don't start a GUI session), then delete the
Evolution
data locations.
