Thank you for the version information. Please also provide information on the type of email account: are you using POP? IMAP? Gmail? Exchange? SMTP? I'm not clear what you see. Is the Inbox folder visible but no subfolders? If so I assume you've clicked the arrow next to "Inbox" to make sure it's expanded? If the Inbox folder is visible is there any email in it? Also, check the icon at the lower-left of the Evolution window; is it "connected"? If you hover over it with your mouse does it say "Evolution is currently online"? > One other note: The bookmarks list for Firefox was also lost. It almost sounds like you are logged in as a different user account than before, that is not configured the same way. I can't think of a reason that only Firefox bookmarks and Evolution folders would be invisible but everything else is the same. Have you verified that you're not low on disk space? _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
