Description of the crash:

When Evolution open the local mailbox it shortly displays some blank
emails (with no subject) and crashes

Steps to reproduce the crash:
I assue it curruption in the local mbox file. If so...
1. Close evolution
2.  Edit a local folders mbox fole and insert additional newlines
beteween the emails
3.  delete the <mailbox >.cmeta, <mailbox>.ev-summary,
<mailbox>.ibex.idex and <mailbox>.ibex.index.data
4. start evolution and it should crash
. 

Expected Results:

Evolution should at least display all the good email in the mailbox and
preferbly fix the file if need be.

It wont crash anymore. This is has been fixed as part of fix for the  bug
315095. Removing the esource from the publishing list if the calendar is removed
from evolution would be the right fix. Assigning it to dinesh.
Comment 8 Chenthill P 2005-10-27 22:52:17 UTC 
Looks ok to commit to both branches.
Comment 9 Dinesh Layek 2005-11-09 09:50:30 UTC 
committed to both the branches.
