Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution mail 2.2.8.1 9.10 I wanted to delete all of the mail in my trash folder, which had 8 months of trashed files in it. I opened the trash folder, went to the "File" menu & clicked on "Empty Trash". All trash mail was deleted, except for the sent items (there are now 190 files in the trash folder). The inbox has 1210 files; the sent folder has 1573 files. There was a message across the bottom, a "!" in a triangle icon: "Error while expunging folder" When I clicked on the "!" triangle icon, the message shown was: "Error while expunging folder. Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Summary & folder mismatch, even after a sync" When I hover on both the "!" triangle icon & the "X" circular icon, the message shown was: "Expunging folder (100% complete) Earlier,there was also a message across the bottom (on the right-hand side): "Error while fetching mail"; this has not appeared in subsequent attempts today, but did appear once yesterday. I looked at the various bugs presented by Launchpad. There were some that talked about problems with trash, some about expunging, some about Summary & folder mismatch, but none directly addressing my problem. I thought that the suggestions in comments #30 & #31 to bug 27014 (directed to bug 213072) by Jamie Strandboge https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/27014/comments/30 could be relevant, but as these related to versions of Ubuntu a fair bit older than 9.10, & written on 2007-06-23, I was wary about trying them. I am not all conversant with scripts, so can't tell whether or not suggestion #30 or #31 would do what I need. Thanks for your help, Garry.
