Evolution Error While Expunging Folder
inLucidlynx » Can't empty Evolution Trash bin – Error while expungingfolder November 13, 2010 by taufanlubis I don't know it's a bug or not but ‘Error While expunging folder‘ error message in Evolution is very annoying. You can't empty your Trash bin mean if you don't solve your evolution local database will become bigger and bigger. There are few solutions you can get from the Internet. I wrote this article for easier solution with very clear instructions. As you can see from the below picture, at the bottom screen, this error suddenly occur when I tried to empty my Evolution trash (File > Empty Trash). Now, I will show you how to fix this problem. First thing first, back up your emails. In case, a worst thing happen you still have a back up. From the main menu choose (File > Backup Settings). Select any folder where you want to put your backup file and type a filename. I suggest to start with ‘Year-Month-Date-description‘ format file name. It will make you easier for tracing at the time you need in the future. The backup process is in about to begin. Press ‘yes‘ button to start the process. Backup process is on progress. After you backup your emails, close your evolution. Now open your file browser. Go to evolution/mail/local folder. My location is ‘/home/taufanlubis/.evolution/mail/local‘, your one is only different after /home/your_one/………….. The folder is hidden so you have to set your file browser to enable ‘Show hidden files‘. Select ‘View > Show hidden files‘ to enable it then go to evolution folder. Select any files that start with ‘.cmeta‘ and ‘.index‘. DON”T select ‘.data‘ files. After you select the files, click right mouse button and choose ‘Move to Trash‘. After you deleted the files, open again your evolution. Now, you can empty your trash. As you can see below, the process is success. As I said, you need to back up your emails first. Because, the process it may not 100% success. When I did my one, I hope the whole process is success but I still got one email that is ir

I clicked on the link that was provided to me in this discussion and it https://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2010/11/13/cant-empty-evolution-trash-bin-%E2%80%93-error-while-expunging-folder/ 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 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2010-April/msg00112.html "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. Try the following: Create a folder named tmp or whatever. Select the folder in question and use "Copy" via right-mouse pop-up or from the "Folder" main menu to copy it to the tmp folder. Now, select this new folder and try expunge. If that works, just remove the original folder and move the new folder from tmp to the main root. -- thomas References: [Evolution] Error while Expunging folder From: Jonathan Jacobs [Date Prev][Date Next] [Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Thread Index] [Dat
