Further possible relevant info: I have a standard 386 pentium 4 machine with everything normally needed.I upgraded to 10.10 and as usual went to the after install wiki for sound and video to install medibuntu package,googleearth etc.On reloading I was told I have duplicate medibuntu repositories and google package, which is in synaptic,doesn't exist.Installed google in synaptic which wont function because of 'child process'.Checked with the forums for similar experiences and found nothing and totally unaware of howmuch I have done wrong till now in the process decided to go to my mail in evolution to get something positive done. When I started deleting unwanted mail I discovered delete function doesn't work.Comp. draws a line through selected mails and stop.I now decided to send mails as usual which was very slow and when I opened the outbox it was loaded with old mail dating back to 6 to 8 months ago.When I tried to delete them I got a message saying the outbox file is irrecoverably corrupt end all deletion now failed.Hence my problem. Having read the bug report instructions by now I was more positive and reloaded evolution 3x,opened all files and reselected my mail choices etc etc,restarted and shut down the comp. 2x and out of the blue about an hour ago deletion started working and evolution back to normal. I suppose I succeeded in making a fool of myself and thank you for your time.Case closed. I am attaching three screen shots which must be relevant for your perusal. Thanks
