`Inbox': Value too large for defined data type

[nils]

Binary package hint: evolution

While opening evolution today I had 20+ unread e-mail and I clicked on one and it said (as I can remember, I did not screen shot) "cannot display the content of this message because inbox is full"

I thought there was a bug so I shut evolution down and restarted. Then my inbox was completely empty (but not my sub folders strangely)... when I right click on inbox and click properties it says the following:

"Error while Opening folder mbox:/home/nils/.evolution/mail/local#Inbox.
Cannot get folder `Inbox': Value too large for defined data type"

Since, I have tried to delete old e-mails to make space but it is not doing anything.

I saw a bug report "Bug #197290 in evolution (Ubuntu)" but it only offers a solution with installing evolution on windows... and I do not have a windows machine so would really like to solve the problem in another way.

Can anyone help??

Thanks in advance!
