[Bug 594351] Re: summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync

 

Still here in Oneirc. Now the added problem is that the folders.db files
are scattered around, so you need to "rm -f $(find .local -name
folders.db)" or something similar to start recovery, which then lasts
hours (evolution try to rebuild all the folders for all the mailbox in
parallel, so I have 100 tasks even if only 2 cores...)

Horrible. If only thunderbird could read mbox directory, served by an
external program, I would switch now. Really there is no decent MUA for
linux...

Title:
  summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, eeepc 1005PE.

  This is very similar to bug #27014, but in that bug we were said to
  open a new bug.

  I have a directory with several mbox files feeded by
  fetchmail/procmail, and kept in sync within my machines with rsync.
  Sometime, after receiving mail, evolution spat the infamous error
  "summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync", and is unable to
  read the messages.

  Fully stopping evolution (evolution --force-shutdown) and restarting
  it normally works. When it doesn't work, repeating it (stop and
  restart), sooner or later make evolution happy again. No mail is lost,
  the files are correctly stored, and all is well.

  Please tell me which data you need, and I will be happy to send it.
  Thanks!
