Hi Paul, Yes, the mailbox is called mbox, that is why I copied it to Eudora to test.It works, but contains only the few mail downloaded today. I understand that the .ibex file is some kind of information or backupfile for Evoulution. I have also made a backup of the Evolution folder and playing around to se what happened. I deleted the .ibex file and restarted Evolution. No changes, Inbox still contains only the few mail downloaded today. So I think I still need some hints -:) Georg > > 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).
