Hi all,
I've been suffering very slow startup times by
evolution mail recently, and I
see headers for emails, and I see emails, but the two don't match.
I concluded that the indexes on my inbox are messed up.
I found in the FAQ this suggestion, which seemed like a good way to get the
indexes cleaned up.
Why do I get an error "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"?
If you get an error popup like:
"Error while Expunging folder. Error storing
`~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch,
even after a sync.". Try the following operations:
* Stop evolution completly with the command "evolution
--force-shutdown"
* Remove the corresponding files with the file ending
".ev-summary" and ".ibex.index", in this example you should remove the
file "~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary" and
"~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.idex.index".
* Restart evolution, it will be slow to come up because it recreates
the indexes. Well, I did that, and now it doesn't come up "ever" that is, I
started it, and it gave it's usual messages about "storing folder 2% complete"
and 18 hours later, it's still saying the exact same thing.
Help please :) I'd really like to get my inbox back if I can, and no, last
week's backup isn't much use, because all this week's emails aren't in it!
BTW, this is Evolution 2.22.1.1 on OpenSuSE 11.0.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Simon
