        Hi,

there probably happened something to the file, which remembers which

messages had been already downloaded/known and which not. These are

stored under ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/<account-uid>/ , one of the

files named "uid-cache". You can delete those directories, which will

reconstruct everything needed (not only the uid-cache file), but it

will also download the server messages again.

In that path we have a big "local" directory, "trash", "vfolder" and many with a name as "[longnumber].[shortnumber].[smallnumber].[hostname]". Local directory is so big, some directories is small. Are you sure I can surely delete these direcotories without data loss?

Thanks!
