Hello,
I have one message in the listing of messages in my Inbox that I cannot get to or delete. If I try to open that message, I get the error: Unable to retrieve message Cannot get message 134185 from folder /..../.evolution/mail/local/Inbox No such message How can I get rid of this dead message? Evolution 2.28.1 on Debian Sid amd64 --- Kind regards, Felix _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

Sounds like a broken index. See an earlier thread from yesterday and today on how to fix this. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

The message in question is still there. --- Kind regards, Felix _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

You could try vacuuming the SQL database files (shutting down Evo first of course): #!/bin/sh cd ~/.evolution/mail/ for i in `find . -name folders.db` do echo "Rebuilding Table $i" sqlite3 $i "vacuum;" done If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

If I delete all of the index files and vacuum the database files, then restart evoilution, the message is not there. I can try and get all of my mails and the message will not appear. If I then shut down evolution and restart it, then the message is back. :-( Additionally, when I try to visualize the message, then change message folders, then come back to the Inbox, then the message is no longer visible, not even in the listing where I did see it before. Anyone with any ideas? --- Kind regards, Felix _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

If I then shut down > evolution and restart it, then the message is back. :-( Did you shut down Evo *before* removing the index files and vacuuming the database? poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

I executed evolution --force-shutdown, then cleaned all of the index files, then vacuumed the database and then restarted evolution. --- Kind regards, Felix _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

The only other thing I can think of is a corrupted mbox file. You might try passing it through formail (part of the procmail package) which can clean up problems like this. Or even looking at it with an editor (e.g. if there's a non-ASCII character in there somewhere it could cause problems). poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

But I found another solution that did work: deleting folders.db. When deleting index files, I only deleted *.cmeta, *.index, *.index.data, *.ev-summary and *.ev-summary-meta. Now that I deleted folders.db the mail seemed to go away. --- Kind regards, Felix _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |

It means that even vacuuming the database didn't fix the problem. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list |
