Please describe the problem:
I am hoping someone can help me. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with the tracker tool 0.6.6 and I use Evolution for my email 2.22.1.

I have had a very strange error.
Firstly I noticed a inbox.tmp file in evolution about a week ago.

Tonight after switching on my notebook I noticed in the bottom toolbar fetching mail 312876... (This is not the exact number). This took about 5 minutes before it disappeared.

(About a week ago the same thing happened. It ran for hours and then stopped. I think this is when the inbox.tmp appeared. Evolution has been fine since except the inbox.tmp was there. It appeared to have a mixture of emails. Deleted ones current ones etc. I did not touch this as I did not know what it did).

After a while this finished and I saw in my inbox what appeared to be an auto delete happening. I have now lost half of my inbox emails.

Also I now have emails that say that they are from a particular sender, however when I open the emails the email is actually from someone else.
Very strange (i.e. the email labeled abc@123.com contains data from fred@hotmail.com).

I used the tracker tool to locate a email that I know I had in my inbox. It found it but when I open it there is no information inside. It is totally blank.

I figured that it must be a database error but have not been able to find any info on doing a re-index or repair.

When the emails were deleted and mixed up the inbox.tmp disappeared.

I have also re-indexed the tracker but no change.

I have important emails that I need to retrieve. Can anyone help.

Thank you in advance.
