Comment 21 for bug 381164

I read the evolution faq for the question
     Why do I get an error "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"?
also I recieved the message
    database disk image is malformed

But I delete all .ibex.index files but it does not work, the problem stills until I also did what runout wrote.

The work around for me was
stop evolution
evolution --force.shutdown
and
delete ibex.index files plus folders.db under directory ~/.evolution/mail/local/
restart evolution

And now I am happily working again without problems.

I hope this helps.

Regards
