its a pop account but the mail are downloaded.

3.
evo.log was cerated while the inbox was still renamed to inbox1. so im
not sure if this is the output you are looking for since evolution works
ok after remnaiming the file. (the only thing in this situation, is that
i dont know how to access the 2gb file)
i also restored the original situation 2gb file is named inbox. started
evolution from the command line as you told me and attached the logfile
named evo1.log as well.
didnt compare the outputs so far.
