produce following errors: Error saving ~/.evolution/mail/local/Sent (mbox) Error saving ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox) Resum and folder doesn't match after syncronizing This is a translation from spanish. May be this error in english could be written different, but I hope you understand it. That never happened during years until recently. Could somebody tell me what to do to empty trash?

Either there isn't enough space on the /tmp filesystem, or the Sent and Inbox folders are too large. Evo empties mbox trash by copying the entire folder, and that's probably what's failing. Note that an Evo mbox folder can't be more than 2GB in size, even if the underlying filesystem supports larger files. You basically need to split the folders into more manageable chunks. This can be done from within Evo by copying half the messages (for example) to a new folder F1 and the other half to a new folder F2, then removing the original folder completely (Right-click on the name and select Delete) and renaming one of the two halves (usually the one containing the more recent messages) to be your new Inbox, keeping the other one as archived messages. Repeat the procedure for Sent of course. You can also do this from outside of Evo (if you know tools such as formail it might be easier this way), but of course shut down Evo completely (--force-shutdown) before doing it. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

I didn't know this, but you made me look into the code, and it isn't using the /tmp, it seems it's using the same folder where the mbox file is located, only the file name is extended to contain the ".tmp" extension. And at the end, if everything worked correctly, the .tmp file is renamed. Definitely no offense, only mentioning it here in case somebody is interested.

Worth knowing, but the same principal applies if the user's home filesystem is nearly full. More to the point, the lack of support for large files is something that should really be fixed. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

Thanks to all. The problem was solved with instructions given by POC in
first message: I created two new folders and moved a lot of messages (those before 2009) from Inbox and Sent folders to those new. Then I did Archivo> vaciar papelera (File>empty trash) and it worked.
