Description David Fallside 2006-10-31 05:22:45 UTC 
What were you doing when the application crashed?
Whenever I try to empty the trash I receive the following error message:

Error while Expunging folder.

Error storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync

I have just installed Ubuntu 6.10 which includes Evolution v2.8.1. Any suggestions before my trash overflows?!
Thanks,
David

If you get an error popup like:
"Error while Expunging folder. Error storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync.", try removing the corresponding file with the file ending ".ev-summary", in this example you should remove the file "~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary".

thanks, this fix worked with one minor clarification -- i had to delete all the .ev-summary files in ~/.evolution/mail/local/; i have multiple folders, some populated by rules/filters and some which i manually update
