Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
After upgrading from breezy to dapper, and after a week or to with dapper
evolution started to forget about some mails that ARE received. For example, in
some folders the mail arrives from the pop3 server (the mail can be checked for
example in
/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/subfloder.sbd/FOLDER but however are not
displayed on the screen.
It is not an isolated problem, now only a few percent of the new emails are
actually displayed.
Deleting summary/index files (forcing evolution to recreate them) does not
help.
I have to mention that there are a lot of mails stored in evolution, and the
sheer total number of emails could be the problem (or a catalyst ) for this.
However I do not think the number of emails is the only reason, because first a
few new emails still get displayed and second this behaviour seems to have
started after an upgrade that also updated evolution.
In order to prove this situation I can provide a few screenshots, and by
request the files corresponding to a folder that is not displayed properly.
