Oh bother - the bug is back.

Following the steps I posted in #3, which were a cumulation of fixes from the previous bug report, I'd been ok and only getting the odd problem here and there.

I'm now getting this, and having to follow the steps in #3 several times a day! This really isn't acceptable, nor is the length of time this bug has been reported without apparent resolution.

The only thing I can think may have triggered my latest issues is that I realised my mail folders were getting pretty large, so started deleting some mails and then running an expunge; ~6000 unread mails (yes I do subscribe to several mailing lists and I want to keep the mails I have). I think it might be the expunge function that is triggering this!

Previously I had been using message filters to move incoming mails to relevant folders. In evolution this actually copies the mail and deletes the original (so an expunge will trigger for all these at some point). I have now deleted all filters so that incoming mail doesn't pass through the trash, and set up search folders instead. Incoming mail is fine, but 5 times out of 10 when I click from one search folder to another I get the file and folder mismatch, am obviously not seeing the correct mails, and have to follow #3 above to rebuild the indexes without losing my mail.

Does anybody else have any ideas? Evolution is the only mail client I've found that I like on ubuntu, so would rather that this be fixed than I have to try something else!
