Perhaps this will help someone. I had a mail folder in Evolution become corrupt. Evolution's error message went so far as to declare the entire folder irrecoverably lost. Not true! It's easy to fix:
I closed Evolution and went to the relevant directory (/home/username/evolution/local/foldername/). There you will find several files, among which are mbox (the messages themselves) and mbox.ev-summary (a summary of the contents of mbox). This summary file became corrupt and had to be rebuilt, so I renamed mbox.ev-summary. Then I reopened Evolution and accessd the folder in question. Evolution rebuild the folder's summary file and the folder worked fine. To clean up, I then deleted the renamed mbox.ev-summary file. Easy. Perhaps this fix will work with other mbox based email clients as well. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/
