Hi Ralf
That would explain it if the data was on the evolution-data-server as that was not deleted.
A log file would have been useful
I normally use a wildcard with deleting with apt, so I checked what is deleted with the wildcard,
and also stepped back through the CLI commands and I did use a wildcard
The following packages will be REMOVED
evolution* evolution-common* evolution-data-server* evolution-data-server-common* evolution-plugin-bogofilter* evolution-plugin-pstimport*
evolution-plugins* libebackend-1.2-10* libebook-1.2-20* libebook-contacts-1.2-3* libecal-2.0-1* libedata-book-1.2-26* libedata-cal-2.0-1*
libedataserver-1.2-24* libedataserverui-1.2-2* libevolution*
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 16 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
After this operation, 37.3 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
But I didn't run the purge repeatedly as it appears I should have done
Since changing from mbox to maildir, no warnings have appeared , the 3 dirs in cache/evolution/mail
are now one single directory plus a trash directory..
May be it will behave ???? have to wait and see
tnx
Richard

If you close Evolution and uninstall the package evolution, Evolution
related processes are not necessarily stopped from running. You might
try to delete opened files.
Juts for testing purpose add a new user and run Evolution there.
Maybe you misunderstand that uninstalling the evolution package doesn't
uninstall the evolution-data-server package, since evolution is just a
suggested dependency of evolution-data-server.
The Evolution related Debian/Ubuntu packages are
evolution
evolution-common
evolution-dev
evolution-plugin-bogofilter
evolution-plugin-pstimport
evolution-plugin-spamassassin
evolution-plugins
evolution-plugins-experimental
libevolution
assuming you don't have debug packages installed.
