        Hi,
there is something referencing the UID in the data files. It might not
be directly related to the mail or any mail indexes. Search content of

   ~/.config/evolution/sources/
   ~/.cache/evolution/sources/

where (at least) one of the .source files may contain the
"8ea059fe1c3d74abd4698ccdf3bbd12269378c04" (quotes for clarity only).
Depending on what the source's content is, you either remove the file
or do something else with it. It really depend what it is for. For
example, I had some disk failure or something recently, which broke the
content of the .source files (one of the visible issues). I
fixed/removed those broken files manually.

Another option can be that it was some source you've set in the
settings and it had been removed, thus it cannot be found now. Try to
run this from a terminal:

   $ dconf dump  /org/gnome/evolution/ | grep 8ea059fe1c3d74abd4698ccdf3bbd12269378c04
   $ dconf dump  /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/ | grep 8ea059fe1c3d74abd4698ccdf3bbd12269378c04

to see whether it'll match on anything. If it will, then change the
option to "something else".

Please, let here know whether there was any hit from the above. I'd
like to know what causes the trouble. Thanks in advance.
        Bye,
        Milan
