My Yingqi’s Evolution Sent Items Folder hit 1.5 GB… after sending a message last Saturday, Evolution can no longer display the Sent Items Folder. I am not sure what are the causes, but whatever it is it’s a major no-no…

Scouring the internet for answers, there seems to be no cure for this bug. My not-so perfect solution – switch back to Mozilla Thunderbird. Copied the files located in the “mail” folder under .evolution to Mozilla Thunderbird’s user local folder, and manually deleted the unnecessary files (you’ll get to see them once you start-up Mozilla Thunderbird).

One caveat – how do you manage transferring your addressbook and settings?!? Argggh!!!

Things have really been for the better in the Linux world… and because of this I think my lappie will serve me good for another 2 or 3 years. Ubuntu 8.04 is that good that going back to Windows is unthinkable (yeah, the manifestation of which is that I tried fixing a colleague’s Windows Box… damn I cannot remember what I’m supposed to do).

Yeah, and my wife’s computer has the latest version installed on her lappie as well. Quite hesitant at first, but after having it for almost 2 months now everything is OK with her – she’s confident that somebody is behind her to fix anything that’s broken!

Rock on GNU/Linux!
