Hello all, OpenSuSE 10.1 both server and workstation. I use Evolution on my Workstation. I've had this problem twice before but never got a reply. My mail server is postfix and courier but the problem is on my workstation (about 99%) sure. I'm getting more and more spam in my inbox that I've ever had before. I'm running spammassassin on both my server and workstation but the problem seemed to have started to happen after I backed up my email. Mabey it's just a coincedance. Here is how I backed up my evolution email. --------------------------------------- Shutdown evolution and gconftool-2: $gconftool-2 --shutdown $evolution --force-shutdown Step 2: Create an archive with the data and configuration files: Note: To completely save the Evolution data and configuration, you need to save the following directories/files: 1. ~/.evolution/ 2. ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ 3. ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution The following command will take care of these $cd $tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution --------------------------------------- The above steps are copied from an article by Falko Timme. Then after I backed up and opened up Evolution I started to get all of my spam in my Inbox and very little in my Junk folder. Before that all of the spam went into my junk folder. This is is why I say that there is a problem on the workstation and not my mail server. Thinking that it was a problem with Evoloution I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but the problem is still there. I spent alot of time getting my workstation set up to my liking and I don't want to reinstall the OS just to fix this problem. spamd is running on both my mailserver and workstation. I even stopped it and restarted it on both machines. /etc/init.d/spamd restart After that didn't work I used CPAN as such... perl -MCPAN -e shell install HTML:arser install Net:NS (when prompted to enable tests, choose no) install Digest::SHA1 perlinstall DB_File Mail::SpamAssassin The above steps are also copied from an article by Falko Timme Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
How did you implement spamassassin on your server? By the way, since you encounterd the problem after changing evolution, I think it's safe to assume that spamassassin is disfunctional on both your server and your workstation. Evolution uses its own mechanism.

The permissions look fine. What's the output of Code: ls -la ~/.evolution/ ls -la ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ ls -la ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution ?
