Hi Milan,Thanks for your suggestions. These did not work. Evolution said (after removing the folders.db) that every folder was empty.
So, I tried to restore from one of my old backup file that evolution created.
Evolution started the restore process, and finally came up with the error message (attached to this mail as a png format file) on its restart.
I had to reboot the machine and restarted evolution assuming that it would have set everything from the backup file, but nothing seem to have got registered. It came up with the first time evolution startup screen.
I went to into the mail folder under .local/share/evolution/mail/local and saw all the restored filenames and folders. However in each folder under the 'cur' directory, there were filenames with 0 bytes in them. This means evolution did not restore the backup files properly. It created folders and files with their respective names, but not the contents of the files.
I am currently using thunderbird, but badly in need of evolution to work in Fedora22, so that I can get all my saved emails that are important.

When I click on any saved mails (including drafts), evolution brings up a warning message in the message window (please see attached). Any help would be much appreciated.Hi, all the On This Computer/... messages are stored at ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local I would guess that the summary of the stored messages (the folders.db file there) got out of sync with the folder content, despite it's supposed to recheck the folder content on each start. I would try to backup the ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local folder, then move away the folders.db file from it and let Evolution recreate it from scratch. Be aware that you may lose some things, like message labels, by this operation. On the other hand, if I read the path in the error message properly, then you've stored your home on some shared network place. Could you verify that the error message is correct (no such file in that folder) or that you can read/write to that file when opened from the network drive? Bye, Milan
