Re: [Evolution] Re: RH7 Snapshot problems (bad ones)

Hmmm, thats a bit nasty.

I suspect it was the html indexing (which i've now turned off), or could
also be related to other things, something similar happened with someone
who had a broken iconv, and upgrading libc fixed that problem (but if
you're not getting the occasional duplicated message body its probably
not that). Or well, who knows.

Contacts, not sure.

For maildir, you can just drop the mail folder back under
evolution/local/Whatever/mbox  and make sure the local-metadata.xml file
contains the type="maildir", rather than the default "mbox'.

Very sorry it so badly broke :(
