[Bug 948489] Re: Evolution filter errors

 

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
  Evolution filter errors

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Recently after having used Evolution for years it has started filtering in error. 
  Almost all of my incoming mail is filtered of to Inbox/Bills Mesa.
   Don't know how to fix this 
  Have been having trouble with Emptying trash error and was advised to:
  This could be due to a corrupted index file. To fix this we need to delete them and let Evolution rebuild them. The following instructions are just a workaround, I can't promise that it will solve your issue. 
  Open the Terminal and do the following: 

  1) Force shutdown Evolution: 
  evolution --force-shutdown 

  2) Backup evolution files: 
  $ cp -rv ~/.evolution ~/.evolution.bkp 
  $ cp -rv ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local.bkp 

  3) Delete the index files:

  find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name '*ibex.index*' -exec rm -f {} \; 
  find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name '*ev-summary*' -exec rm -f {} \; 
  find ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local -name '*ibex.index*' -exec rm -f {} \; 

  ;

  4) Start Evolution. At this stage it will be slow to come up because it recreates the indexes. 
  Perhaps this has caused part of the new problem.
   Incidentally the Trash empty problem has reoccured several times and the above steps have corrected it for a short time.
  Thanks. 
  Solution came from Landscape help.
