An interrupted download could cause it. The sender, recipient, subject, time and some other headers come before the email body, so it's possible they downloaded but the body didn't (although it's strange all headers were there but nothing on the body, even less so for several mails). Another option is that the email was sent without contents. However, if an email delivery is interrupted, the protocols are designed so that no messages are lost in the cyber-space. An error at the wrong time would end you with duplicated mails, not with missed ones (a much safer choice :) ). [Or if delivery was impossible for several days, it should be returned to the sender] Although we couldn't discard the possibility that a bug in evolution really lost them. Do the several affected mail look like copies of the same message or from different ones? Do you have another, correct, instance of those? Can you read the file contents where they are stored? Are the emails complete or incomplete? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

It's hard to say since you don't give the Evolution version, or the platform, or the type of account (IMAP, POP, etc.), but you could try Ctrl-U to see the raw message and check that the body is still there. If the messages are Mime-formatted there may be a problem (e.g. with gtkhtml) that could explain why you aren't seeing them normally. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Emails disappearing in local folders
Hi, I'm running Evolution 2.10.3 on a Fedora Core 7 laptop. In a misguided effort to keep things synchronized between my laptop and desktop machines, I've been running unison file synchronizer on my $HOME/.evolution directory. This program makes sure the directories contain the same files. The problem, I think, is that my Fedora Core 4 desktop is running Evolution 2.2.3, and I mistakenly assumed the file structures were the same between the two versions. Now, when I move an email from my on-line exchange mail box to a local folder, it disappears. I can see all of my local folders, but when I click on many (but not all) of them, I can't see any emails. I've tried moving the folders from my local files to my on-line account, but that hasn't produced any results either. So, I'm wondering: 1) How can I fix evolution so I can use local folders again? Would it be sufficient to delete the seemingly corrupted local folders? 2) is there any way to recover the lost emails in the corrupted folders? 3) Is there a reasonable way to keep my two versions of evolution synchronized? Thanks, -Derek ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Emails disappearing in local folders
3) Is there a reasonable way to keep my two versions of evolution synchronized? Use IMAP (or presumably Exchange) and if you have filters make sure only one IMAP client is active at a time. Keeping local copies synched is likely to be buggy, as you've discovered. Whether your mail is recoverable or not will depend on what happened to it, but Evo can import mbox-format files so you might be lucky (possibly after some massaging by hand). In version 2.12 you can in theory also backup and restore an entire Evo configuration, but that's a fairly heavyweight operation. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
