I hope it help

Error in comment #2 is probably a different bug.  Can you file that one on its own so we can track it separately?  I'm interested in getting the exact error you got in the original post, that is:

060511 2217068220 21758 Beagle DEBUG: Caught ResponseMessageException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
060511 2217068223 21758 Beagle DEBUG: Exception was unexpected.  Details:

Thanks.

log from beagle

HEre are the logs of beagle using --debug-memory

I am trying to reproduce it and find if is certain file thats causing the exception

i hope to be helpfull

Ok, it looks like the index helper process crashed for some reason on an attachment in your email, specifically this one:

email://local@local/Inbox;uid=8977#1

Can you open that email in evolution like so:

evolution email://local@local/Inbox;uid=8977

And then save that email to disk (File -> Save Message) and attach it to the bug?  Hopefully we can then track it down a bit more easily.

the evil file

I found the file....

The problem is a jpg file (the attach). I reported it long time ago in bug 335178 . I think that i filled a bug in libexiff but i never went to verify it...  in that bug a beagle manteiner told me that it was very little to do becouse the problem was in libexiff.

i hope this can be usefull

reopening as requested information has been provided.

This should be fixed, sorry this one was stuck in limbo.
