A tilde in a path just means your home directory - it's standard Unix shell notation. So ~/.evolution means the directory .evolution in your home directory - if you do 'cd ~/.evolution' it will take you to the correct place. The definitive answer to your query is in the Evolution FAQ, specifically at http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Why_do_I_get_an_error_.22Summary_and_folder_mismatch.2C_even_after_a_sync.22.3F (Can we not put the location of the FAQ in the mailing list sig - it seems that at the moment many of the questions here can be answered by looking in the FAQ) > How do I find these files, and if deleting them is not the answer, > does anyone know of how to remedy this? Depends on what the problem is. If deleting the index files doesn't work, then run Evo with debugging turned on and post the relevant bits here, someone will probably be able to tell you what the issue is.
