Yes it has. And as stated in the other reply, I believe your mailbox isn't corrupted. My quess is that you deleted the summary file while Evo was running. When you close it, it regenerates the corrupted summary. Close evo first, then rm the summary, and next time you launch evo, it recreates the summary. This will take some time if you have a lot of mails in that mbox. This has worked for me several times. And one reason to get this error, is that when expunging mail, evo saves another copy of the mbox file without the deleted mails and then deletes the original mbox file. If you don't have enough disk space for the new mbox file, this error occurs.
