MartinE Same thing happened to me, but all the mail is still in the file in my case ... it's just no longer *listed* by evolution.
Type grep "^Date" .evolution/mail/local/<thenameoftherenamedfolder> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:01:10 -0800 ... Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:49:11 -0400 and/or grep "^Date" .evolution/mail/local/<thenameoftherenamedfolder> | wc -l 159 My <thenameoftherenamedfolder> has a first date of Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:01:10 -0800, which is correct and I can see all the 159 emails if I look at the actual file, even though evolution is only telling me that there are only 14, going back 3 days. Until I figure out the indexing problem, I did this: d...@descartes:~$ mkdir .evolution.backup d...@descartes:~$ cp -rf .evolution/ .evolution.backup/ Hope you recover everything.
