Bug Description
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/
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:/
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.
