10132006 2138 GMT-6 I got some help on breaking up this file into 20mg chucks. I found the email that caused this problem and erased those lines. I did this in the sent and inbox files. After putting the files back together Evolution crashes repeatedly.
Since this is really costing me time, I would like to know, if I move the entire evoltion folder to another location and then start evolution, will it start likes its brand new again? Then I could import everything except the inbox and sent files.
