Description Akhil Laddha 2007-11-12 11:55:58 UTC
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194395

There appears no way of re-indexing the database.I suppose it all boils down to having a re-index database option on the menu OR the mail files are inspected for continuity on start-up.

Evolution - in a commercial sense lack the ability to undo this situation by
having a re-index or rebuild (better) option at either start-up or via
activation as we both agree that a large number of folder and large number of
emails can cause this.

I currently have email corruption and I cannot solve without rebuild- or
reindex.

Just imagine 1 financial years correspondence, tasks, appointments, name and
addresses becoming corrupt.

We need a re-index or rebuild tool !
Comment 1 Akhil Laddha 2007-11-12 11:57:51 UTC
The ability to automatically rebuild indexes can be added as a command line
parameter as per comment#8 in bnc 194395

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:31:00 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
