Evolution Email

is there any logic in evo with regard to clearing cached items? I ask because this morning I discovered that I had ~53000 items in

./cache/evolution/mail/1351002422.17754.3@raker2/folders/Inbox

After shutting evo and evo subprocesses down, I tar'd, then rm'd .cache/evolution/*

$ tar tvf /tmp/evocached.tar |grep mail/1351002422.17754.3@raker2/folders/Inbox | wc -l 52956

I then restarted evo and allowed it to re-populate. After finishing I had ~1100 items in ./cache/evolution/mail/1351002422.17754.3@raker2/folders/Inbox

$ find mail/1351002422.17754.3@raker2/folders/Inbox |wc -l 11038

Cache is remove only when account deleted, emails are accumulated forever.

Here's a one-liner to remove cache entries over 30 days old (by modification time):

find .cache/evolution/mail ! -newermt $(date -d '30 days ago' +%F) | xargs rm

(Better use with Evo shut down).
