Hi,
would you mind to file a bug against evolution-data-server [1], please?
Even there's no reliable reproducer, it'll be better to have it filled
and investigated later, rather than completely forget of it. An
information from the initial message of this thread, especially the one
with the incorrect path being used, will help too.
Thanks and bye,

Hi,
it depends. I recall there are cases where even one Evolution instance
can trick itself. If I recall correctly, it had something to do with
"Synchronize messages for offline use" and local filters. There
happened that the IMAPx provider noticed new messages in a folder and
piled a job to download all the new messages for offline use. At the
same time, or shortly afterwards, local filters had been triggered and
some/all new messages had been moved to their folders. And only after
this move operation the offline download started, realizing the new
messages are not there. You might recall "famous" "Empty cache file"
errors, which showed up quite often not long time ago. The servers I
worked with do not return error when one asks for a content of a
nonexistent message, it rather returns success, with no data
transferred to the caller. This made the cache file empty, because the
server did not return any data.

I do not recall how this had been fixed/worked around, it can be the
"Empty cache file" error is ignored for offline download.

To answer your question:

Yes, it does sound possible. Updating local cache, even if only the
folder state, before every operation would make things very slow (at
least in some cases). That means that the only viable option is to make
the provider robust, to react on errors gracefully.

It sometimes feels that Evolution is too chatty with error messages. I
believe regular users do not want to see most/majority of them. I think
other clients hide some/few/many errors from the users, pretending
things worked properly (that's only my own guess). The thing is that I
personally prefer to see an error message than to wonder why some thing
should work, but it doesn't, without any clue. Again, that's only me,
others may have other opinion. From the coder's point of view, as the
code is right now, it's close to impossible to distinguish whether the
operation had been run by the user (in which case the error should be
shown always) or whether it was run as part of certain periodical
action (like check for new messages every hour). The second case might
not need to show the errors, it'll retry the next time on its own.

Milan

The setup is simple: I run a single instance of Evolution and no other
email clients on any device.  Evolution has 4 active accounts:
 * Local (On this computer)
 * IMAP (imap.mail.att.net)
 * IMAP (imap.gmail.com)
 * Search Folders
The message in question arrived from imap.mail.att.net and was
transferred by a filter to a Local folder.  I was able to display the
message (as I wrote in my original message); after about 5 minutes it
disappeared; then after about half an hour it reappeared.  The problem
happens infrequently, say about once a month, and typically lasts a
while, anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple of hours.

Indeed - the messages don't bother me as I sort of know how they arise
and they don't really cause any issues. I wouldn't like to point
fingers, but multiple Evo clients seem to work OK together ...

This.  IMAP clients vary **wildly** in their conformance to both the
protocol requires and best practices.

The default mail clients on both IOS and Android are pretty dumb-simple 
in terms of their implementation.

Concurrent access [moving and deleting] will always result in the
occasional "message cannot be retrieved".  It should heal quickly. 
Evolution is one of the best IMAP clients around.

I hope you'll excuse me adding to this. I see this frequently, but I
use IMAP accounts and I just put it down to multiple devices accessing
the same IMAP store. Other oddities happen as well - like messages
getting undeleted or unread randomly.  It seems particularly prevalent
when iOS devices are involved.

It feels like there is some miss-match of cache syncing policies
between devices - or something not checking for changes before syncing.
Does that sound possible to you?

As I said I just put it down to iOS not playing nicely with other
devices and ignore it!  It doesn't happen reliably enough to really
investigate deeply.

Hi,
I do not have an answer to any of your question, unfortunately, though
I've a question for you instead. The only thing I know about this is
that "it sometimes happens", but whenever I noticed it here and tried
to investigate, which is months or even years ago, it magically
disappeared and I didn't move any further. To my question:

I see from the path that it's an On This Computer folder (as shown in
Evolution's UI). How is that directory populated? Is it anything like
"received by POP, then moved to the appropriate folder with filters or
manually", or "moved manually from another account", or "populated by a
3rd-party software not managed by Evolution itself", or...? Even if
it's the last option it should not matter (in some cases I'd say
"touching internal Evolution files => expect anything", but not this
time), because the Maildir structure should adapt appropriately. It can
be that some part of the provider incorrectly constructs the path and
causes this error. It may fix on its own when the provider rescans the
directory, which is usually done the first time the folder is entered
in the GUI.

Milan

Tried that but it did not work. It created the folders.db files again,
but I still had the same problems.

But I have found a solution, though I don't know why it works. Simply
rename the folder holding the messages that have the problem. Something
happens at this stage, and the messages are found. Then rename it back
to what the folder was named originally.

Don't fully understand why this works but it does.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
try this:
   $ gdb evolution --ex r --ex b g_logv --ex c
which runs evolution under gdb and just before you will face the 
critical warning from the top (the second, not the first, which comes 
from webkitgtk3 code) press Ctrl+C, which will setup a breakpoint and 
continue in execution. Since then, the gdb will stop on each warning, 
debug message,... anything printed through that g_logv() function. 
Whenever it stops there, do these two gdb commands:
   (gdb) bt
   (gdb) c
which will print the backtrace and continue. Alternatively, you can use
   (gdb) bt full
to see also local variables and so on. Once you get the backtrace of 
the critical warning you wanted, just delete the breakpoint and 
continue
   (gdb) d br 1
   (gdb) c
once you quit evolution quit also gdb
   (gdb) q

The backtrace will show where the 'buffer' was NULL, though it will 
probably not show why. Still, the information might be valuable.

I thought there was more info to come since your email just ended
abruptly at that point.

The problem looks like you are getting a null response when requesting
the body of a message.  Try removing the local mail folder summary as
before.  If that doesn't work, then you need to look at the server logs
to see what's happening.

folders.db - make sure evolution is closed down first before you do it

 Again your email just stopped - was there more you wanted to add

The logfile ended there, no more output with

A short advice. IMHO even man ping is hard to understand, at least for
using it to troubleshoot the issue the OP is experiencing. Please reply
more detailed, IOW how to use ping to troubleshoot this particular
problem. I'm using ping to ensure that a website is really off, e.g.

$ ping startpage.com

How could the OP use ping for troubleshooting? My Linux domain for
example is Linux audio userspace and not Linux Internet userspace, some
people perhaps have completely no experiences, no domain.

No offence ;), your hint likely is useful, but please be reply more
elaborate.

 Just to be sure: The folder in which I get this message is not on any
 server, but on the local machine. But I looked up all servers and there
 is no message in the inbox of any server (not anything that resembles
 this dead message by any means).

The only other thing I can think of is a corrupted mbox file. You might
try passing it through formail (part of the procmail package) which can
clean up problems like this. Or even looking at it with an editor (e.g.
if there's a non-ASCII character in there somewhere it could cause
problems).

That didn't help. But I found another solution that did work: deleting
folders.db. When deleting index files, I only deleted *.cmeta, *.index,
*.index.data, *.ev-summary and *.ev-summary-meta. Now that I deleted
folders.db the mail seemed to go away.

You should probably report this to Bugzilla. It means that even
vacuuming the database didn't fix the problem.

Very strange. If I delete all of the index files and vacuum the database
files, then restart evoilution, the message is not there. I can try and
get all of my mails and the message will not appear. If I then shut down
evolution and restart it, then the message is back. :-(

Additionally, when I try to visualize the message, then change message
folders, then come back to the Inbox, then the message is no longer
visible, not even in the listing where I did see it before.

Anyone with any ideas?

Sure. I executed evolution --force-shutdown, then cleaned all of the
