evolution won't clear its cache

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I just tried using evolution. Usually I just use gmail on the web, but
thought
it would be good to have a copy of my email locally as well.
I set up the gmail account in evolution and started POP'ing the email onto my
PC. At first it was popping 284 messages each time I did a "send and receive"
which was OK, but after the first 4 or 5 batches, it started downloading just
3
or 5 messages each time. This was going to take far too long, and I was still
only on June's messages. I decided to give up, deleted all the messages from
the folders on my PC, deleted the folders I had made, emptied the trash and
then
deleted the account from evolution. Then I quit evolution.
Imagine my surprise when I found that ~/.evolution is still using over 200Mb
of
disk space:
$ du -hs ~/.evolution
202M /home/chris/.evolution
It turns out that all the big files are here:
201M
/home/chris/.evolution/mail/pop/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com/cache
Why didn't it delete that directory when I deleted the account from
evolution?
Or when I exited evolution? I don't see any option anywhere to "empty cache".
I would just zap the whole ~/.evolution directory, but I use the task list
occasionally. Is it safe to delete the cache directory?
