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

thanks

The problem appears to be that camel_mbox_summary_sync_mbox() in
camel/providers/local/camel-mbox-summary.c marks changes in the summary
as having been applied to the folder as soon as they have been applied
to the new mbox file, even though an error later on - such as running
out of disk space - will result in the new mbox file being removed.  It
should process all summary updates after updating the mbox file.  (Also,
possibly it should delete the summary files immediately before replacing
the mbox file.)

Fabian, this code is specific to mbox but there may be similar problems
with summary/folder synchronisation for other access methods.

Ben.
