The cache won't work as all of the e-mails are well over 90 days, so they will not be on my isp's server. Thanks for trying though!

Try to access Folder->Subscriptions... menu option for that IMAP account and check what folders are shown there. Maybe subscribe/unsubscribe the problematic one, or some of its parent(s).

[Please don't top-post on the list] The problem with drag-and-drop (not just in Evo) is that it's fine as long as everything works, i.e. you don't drop network connectivity, there is enough space on the target drive, Evo or your system doesn't crash etc. etc. Clearly your chances of success go down as the total amount to be moved goes up. That's why I recommend something like imapsync, which allows you to continue from where you left off if something bad happens. Having said all that, it's hard to know what specifically went wrong in your case, but it's quite likely that your mail is still hanging around "somewhere". As a first step, I would suggest quitting and restarting Evo to see if it resyncs. 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] Error refreshing folder
All, My newest dilemma is an error I'm getting after what appears to be a failed attempt to copy a folder. What can I do to fix this? I moved a folder from an email account to an On This Computer whatever. The folder had a sub-folder. Looks like the sub-folder didn't copy. The error is "The reported error was "Error refreshing folder: STATUS Invalid mailbox name". I need to get the folder back and clear the error, but how? I did backup the email, but I didn't see the folder in the backup. Help appreciated.

Removing folders.db worked OK.

Yes, maybe this comes from the webmail setup or another Mail.app. After removing
folders.db then all directories were recreated again. All is fine,
thank you. I even saved some 70MB of disk space, how come??

Not sure about Calendar (I don't use it). Drafts might be local or
remote, depending on your Defaults config for the account. There is no
standard folder called Deleted Items (at least in Evo 2.24 which is what
I use) so I don't know what that is. Looks like something left behind by
Thunderbird or another client (Mail.app?).

I have evo 2.26.1.1 installed so there is a database file present. I'll
try moving away folders.db when back home. If I remove the whole
sub-directory under will everything be restored? A lot of
folders exist in the folders directory: INBOX, Calendar, Drafts, Deleted
Items, etc?? If removing files, I assume only the files under INBOX can
be removed, not the other ones.

Since it's an IMAP folder you can remove everything and Evo will just
recreate it, though it might take a while depending on your connection
speed and the folder size. However if you want to remove the minimum
possible, the answer will depend on your version of Evo which so far you
haven't mentioned. The reason is that recent versions use an SQLite
database for folder info while earlier ones used a variety of index
files.
If you have a folders.db file in ~/.evolution/mail/imap/
then yours is a recent version of Evo. Try just moving it aside ("mv
folders.db folders.db.backup"). Do this with Evo completely stopped of
course ("evolution --force-shutdown"), then restart Evo and see what
happens.
