When I tried to empty my trash folder this morning I received the

Error storing `Local folders/Sent': Summary and folder mismatch, even

I assume that this message means that the number of messages in the folder
does not match the number that Evo thinks should be there.  I can imagine
several things that could have happened to cause such a mismatch--the most
likely being that I inadvertantly deleted a message from the sent folder
and it didn't get recorded.  
Not an entirely accurate assumption, but close enough.
The real question is how do I recover from this error.  I can't empty my
trash folder at this point because of the error.
Scan the folder file, check for binary garbage, particularly near the start of the file.  And/or remote the '.ev-summary' file for that folder, and re-try.
