Either there isn't enough space on the /tmp filesystem, or the Sent and Inbox folders are too large. Evo empties mbox trash by copying the entire folder, and that's probably what's failing. Note that an Evo mbox folder can't be more than 2GB in size, even if the underlying filesystem supports larger files. You basically need to split the folders into more manageable chunks. This can be done from within Evo by copying half the messages (for example) to a new folder F1 and the other half to a new folder F2, then removing the original folder completely (Right-click on the name and select Delete) and renaming one of the two halves (usually the one containing the more recent messages) to be your new Inbox, keeping the other one as archived messages. Repeat the procedure for Sent of course. You can also do this from outside of Evo (if you know tools such as formail it might be easier this way), but of course shut down Evo completely (--force-shutdown) before doing it. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
