Hello Sebastian,

Here's a step-by-step example of how to repeat this with my setup:

Exit Evolution normally and restart it. This seems to clear the initial
state.

Send mail to yourself. Wait until it exits Outbox.

Kill Evolution with signal 9.

Restart Evolution. Nothing in Outbox. Your first mail arrives now.

Send another mail to yourself.

After pressing Send, Outbox shows size of 2, then 1, then empty.

Another copy of the first mail arrives together with the second mail.

---

The history of my setup is as follows:

My home dir on 5.10 used to be on a NFS server.

The same thing happened every time when the NFS server went down and
came up again. So I thought that the NFS updates were somehow at fault
and just cleaned out the Outbox duplicates when they popped up.

Then I installed 6.06 from scratch on a new hard drive and COPIED all my
dot-directories over from the old NFS home directory.

Now this happens even with local filesystem setup, so I filed a bug
report.

I can consistently repeat it, if you can't I'm baffled...

I use my own POP3 domain mail server at ikioma.net (alias
cobaiamundo.com). Plain vanilla stuff. Also access another POP3 account
and a gmail account, but all outgoing stuff is via ikioma.net.

Thanks for bothering to look.

If you want dumps of my setup files etc, just ask, although I will be
traveling for the next 10 days.

Petri
