Scenario:
- delete some mails from the Inbox
- type Ctrl-E to expunge the folder
- Evolution displays "Error while expunging folder" in the status bar
- quit evolution (evolution --force-shutdown)
- rm ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index*
- relaunch evolution. It rebuilds the indexes.
- type Ctrl-E again to expunge the folder. It works (the first time).
- get some new mails, delete some.
- type Ctrl-E to expunge the folder (again)
- Evolution displays "Error while expunging folder" in the status bar.
And we are back at step 2...
