Description Michel Biezunski 2008-04-14 15:53:58 UTC 
My inbox seems to be empty. However, all subdirectories are full. If I look at the files
on my disk, the Inbox file is still there (it's about 2Gb).
Also, when I click on Send/Receive, I don't get any mail. Sometimes I have a very brief
glimpse of the window that is indicating which accounts are being processed, but it
disappears very quickly and nothing happens.
Is there a way I can recover access to my main Inbox? (I have stopped using evolution for getting/receiving email before it gets fixed.)

does that help?
Comment 2 Michel Biezunski 2008-04-15 03:28:54 UTC 
When I click on Properties while on Inbox, I get the message:
Error while Opening folder mbox:/home/michel/.evolution/mail/local#Inbox.

Cannot get folder `Inbox': Value too large for defined data type.

The file Inbox is 2154577868 bytes long.

Answer to Michel Biezunski,

I have now the same problem. No messages anymore in the inbox and I can not receive new emails!

Did you found a solution?
