G'day, I've been happily using Evolution (1.0.3-1) on woody now for a month, and it has just started not receiving mail from my /var/mail/me mbox file.
When I press the Send/Receive button, an error message appears: Error while 'Fetching Mail': Cannot append message to mbox file: /home/me/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox: Success Is this a problem I caused? Has anyone else seen it? I've found only one, old, reference on google. No bugs match this on http://bugs.debian.org/evolution The only thing I recall changing before it stopped was adding a new filter for debian-users to push mail to another folder. I've since restored the filters.xml file from backup (10th May) and even deleted it altogether. After the failed receive of mail, the ~/evolution/local/Inbox/ directory looks like this; ~/evolution/local/Inbox$ ls -l total 4508 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103 Dec 4 11:08 folder-metadata.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95 May 23 11:00 local-metadata.xml -rw------- 1 root root 343353 May 23 10:48 mbox -rw------- 1 root root 68286 May 23 10:48 mbox.ev-summary -rw------- 1 root root 1653504 May 23 10:48 mbox.ibex -rw------- 1 root root 2521711 May 23 10:48 movemail.mbox__var_mail_root The last file is clearly in mbox format, and is the mail imported from /var/mail/me but not yet inserted into mbox. There's nothing amazingly abnormal about the message at the top of that file. Any further clues to help diagnose? -- James Cameron ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://quozl.linux.org.au/ (or) http://quozl.netrek.org/
