Which got reinstalled, Evo or Dovecot? Or both? Does Dovecot actually serve the files to a different email client -- there might be a permissions problem or something else keeping Dovecot from reading the old emails. If you have the old evolution directory in your home, perhaps try renaming and starting with a blank directory? Make sure Evo is shut down completely before renaming the folder: evolution --force-shutdown -- Alex Doll, M.AusIMM Alex G Doll Consulting Ltd m. +1-778-388-2444 alex.d...@agdconsulting.ca Skype: agd.consulting _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
