Evolution "error while synchronising inbox"

[Simon Ives]

I don't know if it'll be helpful but Evolution did this to me a while ago
with my work emails.  The problem for me was that work's mail server would
'reset' the conection as Evolution didn't sync often enough.  I had IT
change the mail server settings and I've not had the issue again.

Regards.
