But the problem is that the indices for the folder gets screwed up. It is a file with a name like: Inbox.ibex.index. It is not really a bug per se. So: 1.Run evolution 2. Stop evolution completely by running: evolution --force-shutdown 3. Erase: ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index Note: in previous versions of Fedora Core this file was in a different place. This will fix Inbox and Junk but different files would be erased for different folders (i.e, nhl.ibex.index, users.ibex.index. etc.) 4. Then restart evolution. The indices will be recreated and hopefully the expunge problem will be gone. -- ======================================================================= Q: How many mathematicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
