What version of Evo? Versions >= 2.24 use an SQL database for local 
folder indexing. Sometimes this can get messed up, and can be cleaned by 
running the following script (after completely shutting down Evo with 
"evolution --force-shutdown"):

#!/bin/sh

cd ~/.evolution/mail/
for i in `find . -name folders.db`
         do
         echo "Rebuilding Table $i"
         sqlite3 $i "vacuum;"
done

poc
