George, I thought that the .ibex files are only for containing information about the mailboxes, not the mailbox itself. I think the Mailbox is called mbox, and should be in the same directory (Inbox?) as the .ibex file, and should have a non-zero size. I also believe that it is OK to delete the .ibex file, but I would play safe and move it somewhere else. Then, restart evolution and see if your Inbox comes back.
Let us know........ Paul On Tue, 2002-07-23 at 10:47, Georg R�nning wrote: Running 1.0.3-6 on RedHat 7.3 Never had any problems with Evolution - like the app. very much. Yesterday I had a clean shut-down (with apprx. 1300 messages in the inbox). Restarting later to download new mail and print out some new orders for my business. However, mailbox was completely empty -:) Other folders seems OK, all relevant messages still in the "sent" folder. Tried "show hidden messages" but to no avail. In the /local/inbox folder there is the mbox.ibex file. It is huge - 1,5 GB (yes GB). Guess I find my missing mail there ? How can I get my important mail back ? Thanks for any tip.
