[auric <381164@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Solved: I didn't have to use the command line or remove any ibex.index
files. I was able to fix it by using the GUI. I use Evolution as an imap
client.

Steps:
Close Evolution
Click the "Places" menu item and select "Home Folder"
Click the "View" menu item and select "Show Hidden Files."
Open the "imap" folder located under .evolution/mail.
Locate and open the folder for the mail account having the problem and delete the "folders.db" file inside of it. (Screenprint: http://ubuntuone.com/2GJY8lJulShlCCzZkDnNK0)
Start Evolution application
The "folders.db" file will be automatically re-generated.
Error message gone.
