Why do I get an error "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"?

If you get an error pop up like: "Error while Expunging folder. Error
storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder
mismatch, even after a sync.". Try the following operations:

    Stop evolution completely with the command "evolution --force-shutdown"
    Remove the corresponding files with the file ending ".ibex.index",
in this example you should remove the file
"~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index".
    Restart evolution, it will be slow to come up because it recreates
the indexes.

These instructions are for Evolution 2.30 and later. Some earlier
versions also had files of the form *.ev-summary, which should also be
removed. For your interest, this is filed as
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550414 As a side effect of
removing the summary, you will lose locally stored mail labels. Note: A
less brutal method is suggested in comments 154 and 155 of the above bug
report. This preserves the labels.
