[Evolution] Bug#295270: Messages cannot be deleted and index file gets corrupted when there isn't enough disk space

[Øystein Gisnås]

I've documented this as:

[README.Debian]
Mailbox corruption
------------------

Mailbox summary corruption is an issue that is known to appear in
exceptional cases as reported in http://bugs.debian.org/295270 and
http://bugs.debian.org/347703. A typical symptom is the error message:
"Error while Refreshing folder: Summary and folder mismatch, even
after a sync." No data is lost, but one or more summary files are
corrupted.

Before fixing the problem, backup your ~/.evolution folder just in case. Delete
~/.evolution/mail/local/MAILBOX.ev-summary where MAILBOX is your mailboxes. For
example, the inbox summary file is Inbox.ev-summary. To rebuild the
summaries, restart evolution and evolution-data-server.
[/README.Debian]

I'd like feedback and corrections to this text from anyone that have
experienced the corruption and think these instructions can be
improved.

Cheers,
