I have been having this issue for months now in Intrepid Ibex 8.10 x64 Linux quad 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:53:41 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux apt-cache policy evolution evolution: Installed: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.24.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages evolution-exchange: Installed: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid Currently before starting evolution I do the following: evolution --force-shutdown I have a quick script in /usr/local/bin/ I named cmetaibex.sh that is simply: rm *.cmeta; rm *.ibex.* I go into the various .evolution/mail/local/ subfolders and run this script. I then start evolution from the command line. Usually after less than 24 hours I get the 'Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync' error, at which point I repeat the process. Take evolution into offline mode, close it, run evolution --force-shutdown, run my cmetaibex.sh script as described, and start it from the command line. Output from evolution on the command line: @quad:~$ evolution ** (evolution:20975): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:20975): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution (evolution:20975): camel-imap-provider-WARNING **: Unable to load summary no such table: DShield (evolution:20975): composer-WARNING **: autosave load filename = "/home/tlea/.evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-OB0CTU" (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (evolution:20975): camel-imap-provider-WARNING **: Unable to load summary no such table: [Gmail] restoring draft flag 'text/plain' restoring draft flag 'pgp-sign' (evolution:20975): camel-imap-provider-WARNING **: Unable to load summary no such table: [Gmail]/Drafts NEW: Calista Reda
