YDL 4, Evolution Email, Can't Trash emails?

[amishman]

Just installed YDL 4 on my Powerbook. Setup Ximian Evolution for emailing. Sends and receives fine. Just can't empty my trash of old emails. I get an error. "Error while Expunging Folder, Error storing Local Folders/Inbox, Summary and Folder mismatch, even after a sync. So, new to Linux and YDL, how can I correct this.

Thanks

hmmm yeah.. This is a known issue. There has been some talking on this subject on the mailling lists. It has never been resolved.

Since I just started using it, I visited the #evolution IRC room and someone there showed me how to empty the contents of all my mboxes using some echo command and then I was able to start fresh, using the mail application fine and trash would empty. So I am now running on Evolution fine. Not sure if this issue will come back but I do not plan on using it much for email so should be OK.
