GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 649819
Evolution re-sent mails ("Didn't get the next message where I expected (-1) got 0 instead")

Created attachment 187521 [details] Some tests. Hi! I’m experiencing since some months now a problem with Evolution. I hope I’m reporting it in the good section. Here is the bug: each time I sent a mail (in the exact moment of clicking in the “sent mail” button in the Evolution editor), there appear not one mail, but up to 10 mails in my outbox. Among these mails, there is the mail I’ve just typed, but also other mails I’ve already sent not so long ago. All these mails are then sent. These is a little problematic as each time I send a mail, all the person I’ve recently contacted receive an exact (same subject, same body and same date (!)) than the previous one. I’m now forced to disconnect Internet each time I send a mail, and erase mail by mail from the outbox all the mail I’ve already sent, then reconnecting Internet… :S I’ve already declare this bug in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/754553 But this bug appears now each time I send a mail, not just sometimes… I’ve attached a file with the result of some commands I hope being helpful. If not, do not hesitate to contact me. Hoping it would be useful, thanks! Martin.
If you run Ubuntu 10.10, you normally have Evolution 2.30 instead of versoin 2.32 that you entered here. Which version is this about?
Hi! Thanks for the quick answer. In fact, I’ve not precised that, but I’m on Natty (Ubuntu 11.04). In the “about” button of Evolution, I get “Evolution 2.32.2” and Synaptic says it’s the version “2.32.2-0ubuntu7” of the package evolution (but I get variant of it, like “2.32.2-0ubuntu2” for the evolution-data-server package). But this bugs where already happening before the upgrade. I guess I was on 2.30 then, but I don’t know. Martin.
(In reply to comment #2) > In fact, I’ve not precised that, but I’m on Natty (Ubuntu 11.04). I see... just found 10.10 as info in the downstream ticket. :)

> I see... just found 10.10 as info in the downstream ticket. :) Yes indeed, you’re right. Well… the bugs seems to be on both version (I’ve checked, effectively apport write that it was in the version 2.30 before the upgrade) on my computer. Sorry for the confusion. Martin. P.S.: And sorry for the double post, I’ve encountered a little problem with BugZilla while posting it (and I guess it’s Olav Vitters that receive my message ;-) ).
Thanks for a bug report. I believe, base don the error message, that this is an instance of a corrupted folder summary - the error message is the same. The fix is simple, close evolution, delete folders.db file from ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local or ~/.evolution/mail/local (the folder depend son your version), then do steps from http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#Why_do_I_get_an_error_.22Summary_and_folder_mismatch.2C_even_after_a_sync.22.3F It may fix the issue the next start. I suggest to run evolution in an offline mode (evolution --offline), and cleanup the Outbox folder (by deleting already sent message), and expunge the Outbox folder (with Ctrl+E). Then move evolution back to online. Hope that helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 550414 ***
