Thank you for looking at the archives to try and find the answer. I presume the things you found were from January this year?

Does the cache file actually exist, and is it indeed empty? The cache files are disposable so it might be worth clearing them out. You should shutdown evolution and make sure nothing evolution related is running. Then do rm -Rf /home/andrea/.cache/evolution/mail/1274249661.2157.26@andrea-desktop or even just move the mail cache location to one side mv /home/andrea/.cache/evolution/mail /home/andrea/.cache/evolution/mail.x The next time you use Evolution it will take longer to start up (a lot longer if you have lots of mail) while it downloads the folder and message lists. Let us know if it makes a difference.
