Re: [Evolution] [Fwd: Re: local mail spool still unaccessible with evo 3.4.4.-1]
They are the normal indexing and config files for mail accounts - they don't contain any emails. It seem like evo is looking for the mails in that directory?? I can't see anywhere where you say how you know it's looking in that directory? As I wrote above, that directory is the latest updated under .local: ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/some_strange_directory_name containing the above mentioned files. Among the files the folders.db (but as you say, not real mbox files). !! So you are basing your assertion that Evolution is looking in the wrong place for the mail on the fact that a directory under .local happens to be updated at the same time - the directory that contains all the indexing for the account in question - indexing that *will* be updated when the account is accessed?? Have you actually looked to see if the actual spool file is accessed at all? Note though, the file will NOT be updated because you haven't changed anything in it. Have you even tried running Evolution from the command line to see if there are any errors reported? Have you tried doing it with debugging turned on? It really sounds as though there is something up with your configuration somewhere. Can I suggest that you create another Unix user with a clean configuration and try the same thing. Did you do this? No I did not, I don't want to clutter my computer with another user (will do that if really necessary). So rather than try the debugging steps to attempt to isolate your problem you would prefer to keep your filesystem looking pretty? You do realise that you can delete the account (and all its files) afterwards? I did not find any mail accounts when finally discovering evolution under org/gnome/evolution. Seems like the version there is 3.4.0 while 3.4.4 is installed. Under org/gnome/evolution/mail I found a lot of settings, but nowhere any info about my pop and imap accounts.

[Evolution] Evoltion Backup Corrupted
I migrated from OpenSuse to Mint Linux. Before migrating, I made a backup for Evolution.

Re: [Evolution] [Fwd: Re: local mail spool still unaccessible with evo 3.4.4.-1]
I'm just saying the when I created the new mbox file account after removing the old, this directory was created, containing these files. Yes, because Evo needs somewhere to store the indexes for that account. The pop account I have is also having a strange name, but that directory contains: folders.db, uid-cache and a subdirectory cache containing the actual mail files (in maildir format?). POP needs a different set of internal files, which is stored in that directory. And the strange name is actually the UID of the account within Evo, which you will be able to see at the beginning of the line from gconf. Have you actually looked to see if the actual spool file is accessed at all? How to know if evo tries to accesses it? logcheck is reporting there so this spool file is updated often. inotifywatch will tell you when a file is accessed (by anything). strace -f -e trace=file evolution Will give you an output of every single file that Evolution accesses - pipe the output of the command to a file then use grep to see if the file you want is being accessed. Note though, the file will NOT be updated because you haven't changed anything in it. Evo is reporting several thousands of mails available but cannot find the mails themselves.

Yes I see it now: urlspool:///var/mail/username/url

Does the config within Evolution have three slashes? Can you change it
there?
No it has /var/mail/user

And that is the root of all your problems.
Check the ownership and permissions on the /var/mail/user file - it
should be owned by user. group should be mail, and permissions
should be -rw-rw (i.e. rw by user and group, no world permissions).
I suspect that at some point you have upgraded or changed your distro
and although you have used the same username, the UID of that user has
changed - hence the mail spool file is called the correct thing, but is
not owned by the correct user.
