Evolution Mail
Hi. I received two e-mails a while ago to Evolution from. No subject line, no sender, just the date filed has a ?. If I highlight either of these two e-mails Evolution crashes. I have managed to get around it by quickly clicking on another e-mail when I open Evolution and then just avoiding those two. However now when I open Evolution I am in a different folder (other than inbox) and when I click on inbox I have no time to quickly click on another e-mail. Any ideas of how to fix it permanently or another way I can open Evolution so that it doesn't open on either of those two e-mails.

Perhaps it could be caused be database corruption?
Try rebuilding the database as described at http://www.expatpaul.eu/2010/04/fixi...-in-evolution/ and let us know how you get on.

Can you view the headers of the mails? If so, they may tell you from whence they came.

That's because, unless there is a remarkable coincidence, your username isn't dc (the one used in the example in the link).
Try ~/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db
~ is a shortcut to the current user's home directory, no matter what their username is.

I still can't find that. Even just folder/db can't be found if searching for files in files or the Ubuntu equivalent of windows explorer
What i did find is .config/evolution/mail/folders/ and then a whole lot of files that all start with et-expanded-folder:__local_. Then each one is suffixed with inbox, trash etc. Maybe I can upload a screen shot of those files

Ok, thanks. One of the problems about getting info off the internet - it can be out of date.
Which version of Evolution are you using?

Thanks. A list of where the data files are stored for that version can be found here: https://help.gnome.org/users/evoluti...torage.html.en
So it looks as if the file location is now:
~/.cache/evolution/folders.db
