G'day,
I've been happily using Evolution (1.0.3-1) on woody now for a month,
and it has just started not receiving mail from my /var/mail/me mbox
file.
When I press the Send/Receive button, an error message appears:
Error while 'Fetching Mail':
Cannot append message to mbox file: /home/me/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox:
Success
Is this a problem I caused? Has anyone else seen it? I've found only
one, old, reference on google. No bugs match this on
http://bugs.debian.org/evolution
The only thing I recall changing before it stopped was adding a new
filter for debian-users to push mail to another folder. I've since
restored the filters.xml file from backup (10th May) and even deleted it
altogether.
After the failed receive of mail, the ~/evolution/local/Inbox/ directory
looks like this;
~/evolution/local/Inbox$ ls -l
total 4508
-rw-r--r--1 root root 103 Dec 4 11:08
folder-metadata.xml
-rw-r--r--1 root root 95 May 23 11:00
local-metadata.xml
-rw---1 root root 343353 May 23 10:48 mbox
-rw---1 root root68286 May 23 10:48 mbox.ev-summary
-rw---1 root root 1653504 May 23 10:48 mbox.ibex
-rw---1 root root 2521711 May 23 10:48
movemail.mbox__var_mail_root
The last file is clearly in mbox format, and is the mail imported from
/var/mail/me but not yet inserted into mbox. There's nothing amazingly
abnormal about the message at the top of that file.
Any further clues to help diagnose?
