Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution 2.22.3.1, current ubuntu hardy (Ubuntu 8.04.1, linux
2.6.24-21-generic)
I am rarely using evolution, and merely to backup my gmail emails to the
hard drive, in case something happens at google.
When I started gmail today, the Inbox was gone. (see first screen shot)
There were no other mails (Sent, etc.) either, but I doubt there were any,
ever, since I only download mails from there, not send any.
My mail folder:
~/Mail/evolution$ du -h mail/local/*
0 mail/local/Drafts
4,0K mail/local/Drafts.cmeta
4,0K mail/local/Drafts.ibex.index
0 mail/local/Drafts.ibex.index.data
2,1G mail/local/Inbox
4,0K mail/local/Inbox.cmeta
2,3M mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary
400K mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary-meta
3,7M mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index
9,5M mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index.data
0 mail/local/Outbox
4,0K mail/local/Outbox.cmeta
4,0K mail/local/Outbox.ibex.index
0 mail/local/Outbox.ibex.index.data
0 mail/local/Sent
4,0K mail/local/Sent.cmeta
4,0K mail/local/Sent.ibex.index
0 mail/local/Sent.ibex.index.data
2,1 Gigabytes Inbox. So the data is there. I have no idea where those
ibex folders come from. Is 2.22.3.1 a backport from intrepid?
Hitting the "send/receive" button results in the send/receive-window
flashing up shortly and disappearing again, right away. The status bar
gets divided into several "tabs" all telling me, downloading emails
failed.
The account is visible in the evolution account settings. (see screen
shot 2)
renaming the ~/.evolution/mail folder and creating a new one, then starting up
evolution again results in a visible Inbox, and evolution starts downloading
emails via pop from the account as it should. (see screen shot 3)
Switching mail/-folders again brings me back to the first state (no inbox, no
messages, downloading fails).
I hope you can help me find those mails again or repair the mail
folders.
