Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 9.10
Evolution 2.28.1
I want to expunge or empty the trash folder. I right click on the folder icon, click on "Empty Trash" and then in the status bar I receive "Error while Expunging folder." The items items that were in the trash remain.

When I click on the status bar "!" icon, I receive a colon separated list of my mail folders of the form:

"Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/ubuntu (mbox)'"

For "Trash" read "Deleted Items" in the original report, otherwise the same bug.

This is the full text when clicking on the "!" icon in my case:

Error while Expunging folder.

Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
