I know Andre has pointed to all the evo data files Last attempt was sudo apt purge evolution* evolution --force-shutdown rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/evolution rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution rm -rf ~/.config/evolution dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/ gconftool not installed as my DM is cinnamon
check all hidden evol files have gone then re-istalled evo richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~$ ls -s .cache/evolution/mail total 12 4 1527769677.8716.2@richard-Inspiron-N5030 4 7bb2e693532a510fb41eca211d9e5a026556fa10 4 83febb968dd172d285752d793ebe81d81ef79a59 Its back !!!!!!!!!! now getting orange warning flashes Error while storing inbox Cannot open maildir directory path: /home/richard/.local/share/evolution/mail/local: No such file or directory IF I've uninstalled evo removed all I can find , re-installed, gone through the config wizard to set a user, why is it not creating a new install. If it was a fresh install it would create the file in .local. I just checked and /home/richard/.local/share/evolution/mail/local exist, so it cant even find what its made !!!!!! richard@richard-Inspiron-3580:~$ ls -la .local/share/evolution/mail/local/ total 12 drwx------ 2 richard richard 4096 Feb 5 17:37 . drwx------ 3 richard richard 4096 Feb 5 17:01 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 richard richard 28 Feb 5 17:37 ..cmeta All I want is a fresh clean install with nothing added I tried asking on the Linux mint forum and just getting called a liar as they think it doesn't happen.
