After switching from windoz to Linux, I immediately started using Evolution Mail after being an Outlook user for many years. Evolution in many ways is better than Outlook besides being free, but there is a small issue.
Sometimes, somehow and someway the client loses sync with folders and this little bash script will fix the problem. I originally found this on the Ubuntu forums a few months ago.
#!/bin/bash
# see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974536
cd $HOME/.evolution/mail
echo "Deleting .index(s)";
find -name "*.index" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Deleting .ev-summary(s)";
find -name "*.ev-summary" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Deleting .cmeta(s)";
find -name "*.cmeta" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Done.";
