Hi Poc,

Thanks for the help. But it didnt solve the problem.
I think some of the folders were corrupted after I imported them into
evolution, which might have been causing the problem.

I just reinstalled the whole fedora 11 on my laptop, started evolution and
imported all the old mails again. Now its working fine.

Regards,
Shridhar
