I fired up evolution (2.24.1.1) oS 11.1, and when it had finished getting the mail it returned this error while "Generating message list" : "database

disk image is malformed". I opened the Debug Logs, and it shows that error for Generating message list and Fetching mail.

Any idea how to correct this (Google seems stumped) and what may have caused it? It's just effecting the in box which should have less than 2000 messages in it. (I think that last number I saw was under 1000)

hi,

try deleting folders.db (make a backup as always when you do such things). On next start of evo, it should re-index the folders and recreate this file for you. (file can be found in ~/.local/evolution/mail/ in a subfolder for your specific account).

These were in ~/.evolution/mail/<account>. I'll let this sit for a bit, gotta get to work.

Good thing I did let it sit, I had forgotten to make the backup, just in case, which I did not need in the end. Thank You. Take Care, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
