Evolution's metadata from the maildir folder (500.17 KB, application/x-bzip)

Description Mikhail Zabaluev 2006-04-07 21:31:50 UTC 
After a folder synchronization at Evolution startup, my Maildir inbox has become corrupted: subjects in the message list don't match those in displayed messages, rule-based filters and the junk filter ceased to work. This problem is persistent.
I'll attach the folder tree listings and the metadata files. Sorry, no actual messages due to privacy concerns.

Comment 3 Jindrich Makovicka 2006-12-26 19:18:23 UTC 
I can confirm this w/ evolution 2.8.1. I think the index gets corrupted on startup when Evolution checks the consistency of the folder which is currently selected. The status bar also contains two identical progress indicators in that time - is it possible that two index generation threads run simultaneously for the same folder and produce a corrupted index?

Could you please confirm if this bug is still happening at your end ? Please try in GNOME 2.30.3 or 2.32.1 and report back, thanks.

Sorry, I stopped using Evolution years ago.
