The 'interesting' point is, that the older emails in the top part of the Inbox had already been moved to other subfolder a long time ago, without actually beeing deleted from the Inbox file. So I didn't loose anything by trimming the top off the Inbox file. I supposed that "moving" a message, actually first copies it, and then deletes the original. So logically, I assumed that the messages I have moved out of the Inbox, was removed from the Inbox file.
Now I have realized that I should have used the 'Expunge' function after moving mails out of the Inbox, in order to ensure they are actually removed from the Inbox file. So hopefully I will not need the workaround of splitting/trimming the Inbox file again. Some sort of warning/reminder that the Inbox file is reaching a a ridiculous size might be nice in future versions, along with an advice to use the Expunge function :-) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Inbox-too-large-tp3619591p25695262.html Sent from the Gnome Evolution - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
