Interestingly, I'm not seeing the problem today (not yet, at least).  If
it recurs, I will file.

Re: the behavior you observed, I've seen that twice now, and not only
are the unread counts wrong, but only a fraction of the messages are
visible.  Scared the hell out of me the first time it happened, but
restarting Evo seems to restore the correct state.

I also notice that "unsorted" ordering really is unsorted now.  It used
to be pretty close to arrival time.

Thanks.
