Re: [Evolution] troublesome cache

[Richard Bown <richard g8jvm com>]

Looks like it may have fixed its self

The last start up wanted permission to use maildir instead of mbox

the offending directory in cache is now 
richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~/.cache/evolution/mail$ ls
83febb968dd172d285752d793ebe81d81ef79a59  trash

Only time will tell
