So now the title is this:
   Mails can't be deleted if there's not enough disk space

Well, true, but that's not really the big problem. This bug
causes several problems:

1. can not delete mail (minor)
2. database gets corrupt (grave)   <<<<< Ouch!
3. no error message about disk space problem (important)

It's the database corruption problem that let me to report
the bug and mark it grave. I can somewhat accept that
evolution may have trouble when disk space is low, although
deleting mail is particularly desirable in such cases!
It is not even remotely acceptable that the database gets
corrupted. The lack of an explanation is moderately bad.

Google let me to this:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-October/msg00932.html

So that is how I figured out what needed to be done. I was
rather nervous deleting undocumented important-looking files.
Nobody should ever need to do this.

I think a better title would be:
   Mailbox database gets corrupted if disk space gets low

To make this really clear, making more disk space did NOT
solve the problem. Even with 500 MB free, evolution would
not work. I had to delete the Inbox database files.
