Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

The system is up to date with patches.

I continue to get three sets of error messages (probably because 3 mail accounts come to the inbox):
1) Detected a corrupt mbox file or an invalid 'From' header
2) Error while fetching Mail.

I tried deleting:
$HOME/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary
$HOME/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary-meta

But this doesn't clear the problem. I've also done this, rebooted, then restarted evolutiona, and the problem persists. Everything in Inbox is duplicated in the UI. Othere folders and accounts seem fine.
