Dear Milan, Thank you for the suggestion, it worked, I'm sure I've heard about deleting *.db files previously, but forgot about it. The 'faulty' folders.db file is 11.7M, it's replacement is 3.6M, can you suggest a way I can send you the files? I could put the files on a CD and post them to you by snail mail. regards, David. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
