Mathieu, Thank you for your response which I very much appreciate. I have followed your instructions and am now able to access Evolution. If this problem should occur again, will it be necessary to move the directory again (e.g. to "old2)? My apologies for not responding to you earlier. It has been very hectic here for a while with no time to use my PC!
Very best regards. John. ________________________________ From: Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@gmail.com> To: john_t_rog...@yahoo.co.uk Sent: Wed, 19 January, 2011 4:16:45 Subject: [Bug 701490] Re: Problem opening Evolution Mail John, >From the error messages you received: (evolution:2011): camel-WARNING **: something went wrong terribly during db creation (evolution:2011): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Could not initialize local store/folder: database disk image is malformed The database file for evolution has somehow become corrupt. I'll look for a better way, but as a first attempt to fix the issue, could you move the .evolution directory to another name and try opening evolution again? However, this will likely require evolution to re-download all your mail and may lose some of your settings. To move the directory, you can issue a command like "mv .evolution .evolution.old" in a Terminal. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701490 Title: Problem opening Evolution Mail Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Evolution Mail worked for a number of days after upgrading the OS to Ubuntu 10.10 but now will not open.
