	Hi,
I won't say "but", but rather "and", in the above sentence :)

It looks like the accounts are very old, according to the timestamps of
the surrounding files at least. It's possible the tables had some
AUTOINCREMENT columns back in those days, then the table had been
carried over from one version to another. The "problem" arose only
because I wanted to clean up the folders.db file and delete "all the
other tables", not realizing there can be some dedicated to the SQLite
itself. The accounts were not visible in the GUI, because their
initialization failed due to this migration failure.

It's taken care of in the sources (3.58.1 material), both skipping this
table and by not making the table/index deletion a fatal error, in case
there would be some other special undeletable table or index.

Thanks for using evo for that long.

	Bye,
	Milan
