Hi All,

I've been using Evolution 3.6.4 and noticed I could not move any emails
from my inbox to other folders. Based on a posted suggestion, I backed
up then deleted my folders.db file in /.local/share/evolution/mail/local
assuming evolution would rebuild it. Well it did, but all of the
subfolder contents have disappeared! The only folders with emails are
inbox, sent, and trash. Even worse, if I try to open the Properties
Dialog for any of the empty folders, I get an error message:

he reported error was "Cannot get folder
'/home/myName/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.NameOfFolder': not a
maildir directory.".

Restoring the old folders.db did not help nor did running the database
rebuild shell I've seen around:

for i in `find . -name folders.db`;
        do echo "Rebuilding table $i";
        sqlite3 $i "vacuum;";
done

from my home directory.

I verified that the email message files are indeed still there so I am
at a loss. Anyone have any ideas how to get this working again?

Thanks in advance,
Alan
