Well this doesn't work for some reason...

I created my accounts from scratch exited evo, ran killev and then copied 
~/evolution/local and ~/evolution/filters.xml and ~/evolution/vfolders.xml

For the first attempt I manually edited the filters.xml file but since I still 
had to modify it again in Evo I didn't bother the second time.

So dited the filters and vfolders and tolde Evo to get all mail.

During the first attempt I made the mistake of not checking whether spamd was 
running or not, so all messages ended up in my spam-folder.

So I installed and started the spamd and selected all messages and told Evo to 
apply filters.  At first this seemed to be going well but after a while (2 
hours or so) it seemd to be stuck after moving about half the folder (there 
were 714 messages in there...)

I started Evo from an xterm and it showed the following:
m8ram linux:~> evolution

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot get /OfflineFolders/paths from 
ConfigDatabase -- IDL:Bonobo/ConfigDatabase/NotFound:1.0

Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler 
containing data (0x827AAF8)

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot get /OfflineFolders/paths from 
ConfigDatabase -- IDL:Bonobo/ConfigDatabase/NotFound:1.0

so I ran  ps-aux to check whether or not some processes had crashed.  None had 
(AFAIK) but I did notice that there were several spamd and spamc processes:

So I ran killev, restarted the spamd and tried again, this time I disabled 
most accounts to download them one by one but Evo experienced the same 
problem (including the multiple spamd processes) during the downloading (to 
be exact after downloading 350 of 602 messages)
Also again the warning was shown in the terminal:
m8ram linux:~> evolution

evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot get /OfflineFolders/paths from 
ConfigDatabase -- IDL:Bonobo/ConfigDatabase/NotFound:1.0
Killed


Can anybody tell me what is going wrong here?  And how I can work around this 
or solve it?

TIA
