Ubuntu :: Error While Emptying Trash In Evolution Mail
Jul 9, 2010
I am 61 years old and brand new to Ubuntu. My son built a computer for me which I am using. I hated Windows so he installed Ubuntu 9.10 which I love. My son left for the Air Force Academy and when he left he told me and I was on my own so I am doing my best to learn. Everything was going fine but today I encountered a problem.
When I tried to empty my trash in the Evolution Mail program, I encountered this error message:
Error while Expunging folder.
Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
I googled the error and found this solution:
I first used Evolution File > Backup Settings. Then I went to my .evolution/mail/local and deleted all files that had an extension of:
.index
.cmeta
but NOT .data
When restarted it takes a few minutes to rebuild. Then I was able to successfully delete everything in my trash folder. I have looked and looked and I cannot find the .evolution/mail/local folder. How to get to it. Or perhaps am I using the wrong corrective action. If that is the case, then what should I do.
How to deal with this error. The folder that this refers to does exist, so I dont know why I'm getting this error when I try to empty my trash in Evolution.
This message comes up when I try to upgrade. The upgrade needs a total of 400M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 394M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.
Evolution Mail I have a bunch of messages from last August stuck in the Deleted box. Other deleted messages are emptying ok. how I can get rid of them? I do a regular back-up and restore but they just won't go away.
I'm using Evolution, latest version for Linux. For some reason, I can't get the deleted items folder in the mail view to expunge. Is there some reason why emptying the trash suddenly doesn't work? It worked for the first few days of using Evolution, but now it just doesn't work -- the deleted items just stay there.
Here's the error message: Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Handle Later (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
I have wiped Windows and am running 10.04 exclusively. 32 bit, when setting up evolution e mail account i dont see where to enter password....where is it? anyone have link with screenshots? i know i can use regular hotmail but want to know how to use default ubuntu programs.
I still can't find a spot for password. options are, login, set preferences and a remember password checkbox but nowhere to enter a password
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I use Evolution mail and use 2 PCs When I send mail it saves it to my current PC but not to the other PC so instead i want it to save the sent to the email server i'm using.
I have set up postfix and dovecot as per the Ubuntu anual and appear to have a functioning mail server.Using the sendmail command I can send mail and I receive mail in ~/Maildir. Using Thunderbird I can read any mails received but I can't send any mail from Thunderbird. I have tried with both STARTTLS and SSL/TLS and whilst I get the prompt for a password I keep getting the message my password for my server is wrong.I have ports 25, 465, 587 and 993. Is that all the right ports?When I ping my domain name it resolves to my router name whereas I believe it should resolve to my IP. Could there be a problem with my host file? I've had a play but to no avail.Here's the error in mail.log.
Evolution 2.28.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 won't empty trash on exit even though this is specified in preferences. Neither will it expunge with right click on trash -> empty trash..e.Close Evolution and open your file browser. Go to /home/put-your-ubuntu-login-name-here/.evolution/mail/localThere are 2 files (Junk.cmeta and Trash.cmeta). I deleted the Trash.cmeta file and opened Evolution again.When you reopen Evolution, it creates a new Trash.cmeta file.
Is there a way to get Evolution to check mail and chat with a standard Yahoo (or Hotmail for that fact) account, without having to pay for the plus service?
Everything seems to be set up right, I can send mail and everything, but... When it comes to retrieving my mail, it fetched everything from up to about a week and a half ago, and then stopped while displaying "error fetching messages." I don't understand this... Obviously, this means that I won't be able to receive any new messages, which is pretty critical for a mail client. So what's the beef? The last email it will show me is an email from April 22nd. I use Yahoo and have an @sbcglobal address. pop.att.yahoo.com is input for receiving, and smtp.att.yahoo.com is input for sending. I can't seem to find anything that has been input wrong, so... IDK, I'm at a loss for an explanation for this.
After running Pine remotely to view some mail on the server, I can no longer access those emails remotely with Evolution or Outlook Express. I know the mail is still there on the server someplace, because it still appears in Pine's "INBOX" folder. But that is clearly not the same as the "Inbox" folder for that account which appears in Evolution and Outlook Express, which is now empty. How can I configure Evolution to re-access those emails?
Is there a way to remove individual deleted e-mails (as opposed to having to empty the entire contents of the folder) from the trash folder in the Evolution e-mail program? If not, you can do this in Outlook, why would this option not be included in Evolution?
Ubuntu 10.04. I want to change the startup sound and the mail alert sound (incoming mail) for Evolution Mail Client. I go to System > Preferences > Sound, and all I get are themes preset. I do not have option to browse to wav files. I also do not see a browse option in Email Settings. Do I have to change an actual file?
Recently did a fresh install of F12, previously used F11 without any problems. Now Evolution move ALL received messages to trash automatically. I have had to make rules to move each e-mail to the inbox but still all incoming messages go straight to Trash.
I had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0.

Evolution reports a segmentation fault and crashes: [ 427.787672] evolution[2914]: segfault at 4 ip 06bd23b9 sp b2b6e1f0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2400.1[6b78000+c8000]
I am currently using 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu, The last part of the O/P from gdb evolution --ex r --ex "t a a bt" --ex q [New Thread 0xadaafb70 (LWP 16877)] [New Thread 0xad1c2b70 (LWP 1687] [New Thread 0xac5ffb70 (LWP 16879)]
Basically I messed up setting up Evolution with my Hotmail account, and I want to start again...however I can't do that. I have uninstalled it from the software centre, but when I reinstalled it, Evolution has remembered all my settings
is there anyway to have mail go to a diffrent folder in evolution.. here is what i mean... i have my main email go to inbox.. i would like other accounts to go to another folder i have a seprate email address for facebook cause it gets bogged down, it would be nice to have this go to my Facebook folder by default instead of filling my inbox..
I created a signature, for my outgoing mail, in Composer Preferences but it don't show when I create a new mail. how to get the signature in my outgoing mail, it would be nice to share.
I got the RSS reader to work in Evolution Mail by installing "evolution-rss" in synaptic. What I cant get working is the displaying of articles in HTML as seen on this page about half way down... [URL]
resolve an issue with Evolution Mail, I normally keep in runningbut when i return in the morning almost every time it has stopped responding. I have to close, or force close, then restart to get it to check for mail and run normally
I always use ubuntu and have lots of important files in there..What happened before?I was working on the comp...pop messages were getting downloaded on evolution mail...pidgin was running...google chrome was running..My version: 9.10Found this somewhere:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu...uestion/107653https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...4?comments=allWhen i select ubuntu from dual boot screen..It dosen't do the usual thing of asking me some options second one would be recovery mode..It takes me to some Grub loader beta4 (don't remember name)I get to type something as..sh:grub> (type here)something like that.
Something very weird happening with email stuck in my outbox. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 and Evolution 2.28.1
I have about 8 email boxes set up - all IMAP, all on different domains, and across several ISPs. My primary ones have been working fine since I first set up Evolution about 3 weeks ago.
The less important ones had problems (I could receive but not send). I've started to address these ones and am making relevant changes to SMTP server settings etc and they seem to working now.
However, one of my primary addresses seems to now be queueing email in the outbox and not actually sending it. I did not consciously make any changes to that profile while I was fixing the other accounts. I thought there might be an issue with my ISP, but having waited overnight to resolve any potential problems, I see I still have the same problem.
I am wondering if I set the /home/user/.evolution folder to synchronise with ubuntu one on my eee, and then when I update the desktop remove the /.evolution folder and replace it with the one synchronised with ubuntu one would all my setting and messages be copied as well or not? And no I can use Imap as I use that dreaded thing known as hotmail! My desktop is running 8.04 but is due an upgrade soon so I can test my idea out!
I had been using Evolution with no issues though until I installed Ubuntu 10.04 after which I could no longer send outgoing messages. I use a hotmail live account with Evolution. I have also just installed Evolution 2.30 from 2.28 to see if that would solve the issue, but it did not.
