Author Evolution mail, cannot empty trash folder
Edmund

Debian Etch Gnome

Evolution mail.
When I try to empty the trash folder I get :
--------------------
"Error while expunging folder."
Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local ( mbox)':
Summery and mismatch, even after a sync
--------------------------

When I quit evolution mail I always empty
the trash folder. No message yesterday, but
today there still are some 7000 messages in
the trash folder!?

I tried to use the Gnome search tool to find
"/.evolution/mail" and some other search
options in order to find this folder and
delete it manually but I never found much
with this tool.
What can I do now?

Don't know about Evolution, but try to start a terminal window.
In that, type
ls
and then
ls -a
All files and directories that starts with a dot is ignored by ls and
other navigation tools (lika nautilus).
You could also try
cd ~/.evolution
and then
ls

Hope it helps a bit.

Thanks it is already found it.
I had to delete a file "inbox.ev-summery"
in evolution. That solved it..
