Yeah, but it was quite persistent.

I've noticed quite a few other reports like Ubuntu's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/287811 and it's associate linked bugs...

Removing the different files and reconstructing them as instructed in that bug report seems to have solved the problem so far.
(I did a few 'find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name "*ev-summary*" -exec rm -f {} \;' and 'find ~/.evolution/mail/local -name "*ibex*" -exec rm -f {} \;' as advised)

I'm not so sure it's gone for good... nor do I know if the faulty one was among the mails that I finally managed to remove from the trash after the restart of Evolution.

Still there's a problem somewhere in this version of Evo.

Thanks for caring.

Best regards,
