About a month ago, I received the following error after sending emails. "Value too large for defined data type"
After doing some detective work, I came to the conclusion that my Sent file had reached its size limit on my operating system. (Fedora 8, 32 bit). As I use gmail as my email server, and because I was busy with other things in my life, I continued on my merry way sending emails without fixing the problem, content that everything I sent was stored over in my gmail account under the Sent folder. Fast forward to today and its now time to fix this situation. I did fix the file size problem by using split to split the Sent file into multiple pieces. And now I have a Sent folder again, along with all of my sent emails except the one at the very beginning of the split files. However, I would like to somehow import all the Sent emails during this time period from gmail. Anyone have any ideas ? All of the Sent emails are in my gmail account. No problem there. But I would like them back in Evolution as I would then have a complete record of all the emails I have sent since 2002. (Pretty impressive compared to running Outlook Express in the old days !) I can open each email (about 150 in all) in gmail and select "show original". I can "select all", copy and paste the email into a text file and put it in .evolution/mail/local. It will be slow, but I can do it. The problem with that approach is that Evolution doesn't seem to recognize the emails that I put in the file, ie it shows zero items. The gmail format isn't exactly the same as the Evolution format. How picky is Evolution about email file formats ? Is there a better/faster way to accomplish the same thing ? I'd like all the emails I've sent during this time to look like they have been sent from Evolution all along. Sorry for the long winded explanation. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
