Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error storing summary.
Sankar, Yet another solution for this problem will be to (re)write the local backend using the camel-offline-folder model, where every mail in the folder is stored in a distributed fashion, avoiding one huge mbox or huge files in a directory and also solves issues like unlink the file to delete a mail etc. -Srini On Mon, 2008-05-12 at 14:51 +0530, Sankar P wrote: > On Fri, 2008-05-09 at 23:57 +0200, Andre Klapper wrote: > > OK, so i managed to fuck up my POP Inbox for the third time in a few > > weeks, means: every time i switch to another folder i now get an "Error > > storing summary" (or something like that). i've seen some reports about > > this in bugzilla, e.g. > > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532049 . the last time i ran > > into this psankar told me to manually edit the mbox file and remove the > > offending email that misses the From line. this is not fun anymore when > > having a 600MB inbox file. a normal user is not willing to learn vim and > > emacs, me neither. > > I guess there should have been some recent commit which catalyzes this > break-up-of-mbox.

I guess there should have been some recent commit which catalyzes this break-up-of-mbox. So, we need to just analyze and find out on what scenarios this is caused. Earlier, we used to get a folder-summary-mismatch and will not proceed at all. I have seen some heavy users being saved from that trouble, once we put in the code to auto-fix the .summary file. Broken mboxes are one scenario which we have not handled so far and it will be fixed. May be we will provide: evolution-fix-broken-mbox which will handle them. (/me remembers fejj's mail sent 2 days back) However, there are certain important things than fixing broken mboxes, like moving the summary to a db so that you don't have to hold every msginfo etc. which we are currently working on. So, operations like mbox recovery will have to wait for some time. We will try to identify why this has started happening frequently for you and will fix this soon, probably tracked in a bgo bug. Philip, Converting the local store from mbox to maildir will be a better option for the local accounts. It might create new problems and I will analyze about this and will come up with a fix if it does not cause any issue. And sqlite databases disk-blocks aren't spectacularly closely-written, when I last iogrinded (ground?) them. And mboxes/maildir are readable by all sane mail clients and hence makes sense to stick to some common standard than a single-filed-db. May be I will make a study of this after the db-based summary work is done. > if nobody's working on a fix i should consider > switching to thunderbird.

It tested to see if there is any bug in it, but it seems to work fine.
