Description of problem: every few weeks, evolution suddenly displays error messages on my /var/spool/mail mail account thus: Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync this is root's forwarded mail. it's IMPORTANT. even blowing away all the index etc stuff in .evolution for that account doesn't help. only blowing away all mail actually in /var/spool/mail/<user> fixes it. which means i loose my root mail history. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.10.3-7.fc7 Fri Jan 11 23:39:02 2008 How reproducible: intermittently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open evolution. click on that folder. 2. observe message 3. mail is listed, but contents unavailable Actual results: as above Expected results: reading forwarded root mail. Additional info: loosing root's mail every week or two isn't really an option! i did find an evolution bug that talked a bit about this and mentioned a supposedly fixed version, which was a significantly higher release number than we have in f7. dammit, i can't find that bug now. sorry. i'm ready to help if you need it.
The bug was [1], which was fixed recently and will be in Fedora 9. Current Rawhide packages already have the fix. [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213072
