icons have their meanings as words have their meanings, too. Why should I want a folder highlighted with a wrong meaning? I'm using POP accounts only and if I pkill Evolution processes nothing restarts any process. I do not use a desktop environment. I'm using a windows manager only and especially avoid installing unwanted GNOME stuff, a prominent example for this approach is that I don't allow gvfs to be installed, since it automatically wakes up green drives in standby modus, so those drives spin down and up again and again, which damages the drives. I don't know why I should want to install software (on a real-time audio workstation), that restarts processes for no reason, even if those processes do not damage hardware, they would cause unnecessary load.

While Evolution was running I added a new folder, then I made this folder the account's archive folder. $ grep Archive .config/evolution/sources/38d5f843eeab00fee18f592e1d8a2e23c71f978d.source ArchiveFolder=folder://local/Trash_2 This works, even after deleting the folder "Trash_2" everything is still ok. I closed Evolution and pkilled all remaining processes, then I launched Evolution again and the icon still is a regular folder icon, IOW the workaround does the job. In a fit of curiosity I used the account editor to restore the defaults. When doing so, it stays with the non-existent local/Trash_2 folder. > By the way ][, this is solved, because it is an intentional feature. > You are trying to "break" the feature. I try to break the feature to give a folder a random icon? > Well, if you really pressed Ctrl+C, then it's not closing, but killing > it. I first closed the Window of Evolution by a click on the close-i c o n of the window title bar, then got the Error output, then I waited and waited, but nothing happened, before I pushed Ctrl+C.
