I attempt to empty the trash, and get the following popup: -- Error while Expunging folder.

does end abnormally (by a sudden, and unexpected system restart, for example), the database managing the various mailbox files and folders can become corrupted. It's taken me all morning to find a solution - one that turned out to be annoyingly simple in its effectiveness. The Evolution error messages are a bit terse and corrupted data can be indicated by one or more of the following error messages: Emptying Trash Fails with ‘Error while expunging folder' Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync Error while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287811 Expunging folder Evolution: error storing ‘~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)' The solution that finally worked was this one: Close Evolution client Move file /home/dc/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db to trash Restart Evolution again. It will rebuild the database and everything should synch successfully. Poking around various bug trackers did suggest that there have also been problems with some of the metadata files. So if the above fix on its own http://www.expatpaul.eu/2010/04/fixing-corrupt-mail-folders-in-evolution/ doesn't work, it might be worth trying the following: Switch Evolution to Offline mode (File -> Work Offline) Close Evolution client Shut down Evolution: evolution --force-shutdown Remove the metadata files: find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name "*ev-summary" -exec rm -f {} \; find .evolution -name \*index.data -exec rm -f {} \; find .evolution -name \*index -exec rm -f {} \; find .evolution -name \*cmeta -exec rm -f {} \; Start Evolution client Wait until the status bar at the bottom is empty. This could take several seconds. Close Evolution client. This may take a while Start Evolution client Switch Evolution back to Online mode (File -> Work Online) If all else fails, you can always delete everything and start again: Backup your files! (File -> Backup Settings) Start deleting: rm -rf ~/.evolution rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/evolution evolution -force-shutdown Find the process ID for ‘gconfd’: ps -ef|grep gconfd. This will return a line that looks like this: YourUserID 1485 1 0 13:56 ? 00:00:03 /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2The 1485, in this case is the process ID Kill that process: kill 1485 Start Evolution client. You will be prompted to start creating your accounts. Author P

'~/.evolution/mail/local/Newsletters (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox)': Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync. I clicked on the link that was provided to me in this discussion and it said: [ Why do I get an error "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"? If you get an error pop up like: "Error while Expunging folder. Error storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync.". Try the following operations: * Stop evolution completely with the command "evolution --force-shutdown" * Remove the corresponding files with the file ending ".ev-summary" and ".ibex.index", in this example you should remove the file "~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary" and "~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index". * Restart evolution, it will be slow to come up because it recreates the indexes. ] I did the following steps for not only the inbox but the other folders in question. >17MB is entirely reasonable so that doesn't look like the problem.
