I have been having problems with expunging. Evolution won't expunge - I get the message:
"Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync" and cannot get rid of the messages from Trash. I checked on the Internet for some possible solutions. I made a copy of .evolution/mail/local to local.BAK. When I looked inside local.BAK I noticed that the file Inbox (containing messages that haven't been filtered into subfolders) was only about 30mb instead of about 1.86gb. I then went back to local and ziped Inbox and moved the zipped version over to local.BAK. I tried unzipping but the file size was still 30mb. To make a long story short, I tried mv'ing local to another name. Unfortunately, this also truncated the Inbox file. I've never seen this behavior. The zipped version also when unzipped is only 30mb instead of 1.86gb. I was trying to fix the expunge problem before backing up evolution. There is plenty of room on the hard drive (about 57gb). Any ideas on why this happened and how I can fix the expunge problem? If I back up evolution am I likely to lose anything because of the expunge problem?
