Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Some times, it is impossible to delete some mails from the trash folder.
I right-click on the local Trash folder icon -> Empty trash.
Some files are deleted but other stay present: always the same ones. I
expected all files to be deleted. There is no way to delete these.
Workaround:
1. stop evolution
2. execute:
$ rm ~/.evolution/mail/local/*.{cmeta,index,ev-summary}
3. restart evolution and give it some time for rebuilding the index files
After that, it is possible to delete again files from the local Trash.
I mention I also have spamassassin running heavily as a plugin of
evolution. This introduces delays in the updating of folders, making it
possible that some inconsistence could raise into the indexes.
