Thank you Milan, that gave me the clue I needed. (I need to say I'm very far from being a techie, so I sometimes struggle when things throw up unexpected problems, so I'm grateful for this help.) It turns out the missing item was not a file but a directory, and located in both~/.local/share/evolution/mailand~/.local/share/Trash/files/mail. Both contain a file named folders.db.It might be that this is associated with my having initially tried to set up a POP3 account for one of my accounts, then deleted it when the IMAP account I replaced it with worked. So far I've renamed the directories just in case there's a problem (new name completely unrelated to anything Evolution might search for, I hope) and it seems to have solved the problem. If I get no further ill effects I'll try deleting both entirely a little later. Hope that's useful to you, thanks again. Best wishes,Keith Barber(he/him)
