Evolution - Old Messages Keep Coming Back
I'm attempting to consolidate all my assorted email accounts to be accessed via Evolution. I seem to have all working right except this one particular GMail account (the one that I have subscribed to debian-user in fact). The problem I am having is that every time I delete messages and empty trash, next email check brings everything back that was deleted (over 1000 messages, dating back to around 2008.) And to top it off, new messages are not coming through. How can I get deleted messages to stay deleted? I logged in to my GMail account to see what is there, and all that is there are about 100 or so messages that have not been downloaded. All old messages there were deleted permanently, so Evolution obviously is not grabbing them from there. What is going on here, and how can I fix this? This seems to be the only account that is doing this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You should also only have download NEW messages selected(if there is an option like that). In Gmail you may have the messages filtered to only show new messages, but the old ones may still be there... I get gmail messages in Thunderbird, and I also used it in Kmail, but never evolution, sorry.. Maybe you need to move the gmail messages ( in gmail) to another folder OUT of the inbox, to get it to stop.. Empty trash on exit is definitely set for all accounts, and in the web interface, all messages are set to show (new and read). For now, I have my GM settings set to dl all messages and delete them off the server. So when I hit Send and Receive, 111 or so should download (since that is all that is actually sitting in my account). But those 111 are not coming down and instead another thousand or so old messages (same ones as before) keep showing up. I know it is silly, but here are a couple screenies showing my eVolution inboxes before fetching mail, and after. Before: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Mail-Before.jpg After: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Mail-After.jpg All of the newly arrived messages (which are actually old messages that refuse to die) filtered into the assorted directories are from the one GMail account that is having this problem (plus there are a bunch of unfiltered messages there in Inbox that are also from this same account.) I am suspecting that we have some sort of corrupted database here clientside. But where to start looking?
