Re: [Evolution] Copies of messages not deleted on the server and multiple copies of the same downloaded

[Vincenzo * HI-Lab <vincenzo hi-lab net>]

We thought we had solved everything, but in reality we saw that there is still a problem.

The emails are no longer duplicated, however, in one of the two accounts with problems, there are over thousands of emails that are not downloaded, they remain in the pop3 server.

How is possible to solve this problem?

Below is the debug log. Where are the dots "[......]" I omitted hundreds of equal and sequential lines:

Well all solved!!

It was enough to delete in ~/.local/share/evolution/mail all the folders with the name [number]@[hostname] with the exception of the directories "local", "trash", "vfolder". I checked and all messages were deleted even on pop3 servers.

Thank you so much Milan!
