Reinitializing an Email account in Evolution

I am using an IMAP account which used to work well for months.

This account has not been working well for a few weeks :

I have now 2 similar INBOX folders.
A folder which has no name has suddenly appeared.
The new mails are not well retrieved from the mail box.

I would like to completely remove this account and reinitialize it.

Removing the account from the Setting menu doesn t seem to be enough.

How can you reinitialize everything in Evolution ?

Thanks

P.S. Because I have other Email accounts, I cannot reinstall Evolution.

Re: Reinitializing an Email account in Evolution

Hi,

Most (if not all) of the IMAP stuff should be in ~/.evolution/mail/imap/user@server where "user@server" is your email address.

Once you have removed an account from "Settings" and restarted evolution-data-server (e.g., log out and log in), it should be safe to delete (or just move somewhere else and delete later).

WWell,
